A sample of 561 male and female undergraduate students, aged 18-24, from private and public universities in the Philippines, completed measures of the variables. The study's research design is quantitative correlational and cross-sectional. Variables were measured using Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Scale of Positive and Negative Experiences, and Autonomy Need Satisfaction Subscale of Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale. Autonomy need satisfaction has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between cognitive and affective mindfulness and cognitive and affective well-being. The results yielded in this study aimed to have theoretical, empirical, and practical contributions in the field of clinical psychology as a science and as a practice. Implications of the findings and the underpinning theory of self-determination and cognitive and affective personality systems are discussed. Likewise, cultural aspect was explored and discussed.
