In this study, the Becker Mindfulness Questionnaire (2006) Scott and Bruce Decision Making Style Questionnaire (1995) and ethical reasoning questionnaire were used to evaluate the dependent variables of the research. The results of stepwise regression as the findings revealed that the rational decision making style justifies 20% of the observed variance in consciousness and adds the variables of intuitive decision making style, dependency decision making style, instant decision making style, avoidance decision style, and Moral reasoning increased the previous variance by 4, 2, 2, 2, 3 percent, respectively. Thus, the six models introduced into the regression analysis together explained 33% of the variance of mind-consciousness.
