Calligraphy, as a mindful practice, fosters focus, creativity, and relaxation, all of which contribute to a more peaceful mental state. For university students, regular engagement in calligraphy can help develop better coping mechanisms for academic and personal stress. This enhanced ability to manage stress can lead to improved mental well-being, greater self-awareness, and a more positive outlook, supporting their overall academic and personal development.
This study employed convenience sampling and snowball sampling to select 453 university students from Hunan Province, China, in September 2024 as valid samples. AMOS v.23 was used to construct a structural equation model to validate the hypotheses.
The study revealed a significant positive relationship between calligraphy activities and both flow experience and peace of mind. Furthermore, a strong positive correlation was observed between flow experience, peace of mind, and self-focused attention. In addition, flow experience and peace of mind were found to mediate the relationship between calligraphy activities and self-focused attention.
The findings highlight the positive role of calligraphy activities in enhancing university students' mental well-being, particularly through promoting flow experience and peace of mind. These factors not only directly benefit self-focused attention but also serve as mediators, suggesting that calligraphy can be an effective intervention for improving concentration and emotional balance. This study underscores the potential of incorporating calligraphy into student wellness programs to support both academic performance and personal development.

本研究于2024年9月采用便利抽样和滚雪球抽样的方法，从中国湖南省选取了453名大学生作为有效样本。使用AMOS v.23构建结构方程模型以验证假设。
研究发现书法活动与心流体验和内心平静之间存在显著的正相关关系。此外，在心流体验、内心平静和自我专注注意力之间观察到强烈的正相关。此外，还发现心流体验和内心平静在书法活动与自我专注注意力之间起中介作用。
研究结果凸显了书法活动在提升大学生心理健康方面的积极作用，特别是通过促进心流体验和内心平静。这些因素不仅直接有益于自我专注注意力，还起到中介作用，表明书法可以成为提高注意力和情绪平衡的有效干预手段。本研究强调了将书法纳入学生健康计划以支持学业成绩和个人发展的潜力。
