The Model of Enhancing Developmental Capabilities in Movement Vulnerable Group to Promoting Intellectual Well-Being

Abstract

The objectives of the research are to study the contextual factors related to behavior that promotes mental and Intellectual well-being in the movement-impaired vulnerable group. The research findings revealed that the experimental group exhibited improved health-promoting behaviors after the training. The process of behavior development based on Buddhist psychology enhanced their thinking processes in line with wise consideration (Yoniso Manasikara) and self-regulation through mindfulness principles. This involved recollection, awareness, and recognition without losing consciousness of feelings, and principles of clear comprehension (Sampajanna), which led to clear understanding, awareness of what is being considered, and clear comprehension of reality. The research findings also showed that the experimental group developed a mindset characterized by a desire for mental perseverance, diligence, effort, striving, persistence, resilience, strength, industriousness, unwavering determination, not abandoning enthusiasm or duties, attentiveness to responsibilities, and right effort (Samma Vayama). This includes the intention to abandon unwholesome states, to generate wholesome states, being strong and steadfast, not neglecting wholesome states.
