The Effectiveness of Mindfulness based stress reduction on Extra-Emotional, Coping Strategies, Emotional Response, and Control Anger in Conflicting Adolescents 18-15 Years Old

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of stress reduction strategies based on awareness-based attention to culture, coping strategies, emotional responsiveness and anger control of conflicting adolescents aged 18-15 years.

This study was a quasi-experimental design with two experimental and control groups with pre-test, post-test and two-month follow-up period. The study population included conflicting adolescents aged 18-15 years in Isfahan during the summer and autumn of 1400. By randomly available sampling method, 40 conflicting adolescents were selected and replaced in two groups (20 experimental) and (20 control). The experimental group underwent a stress-based strategy based on knowledge-awareness for 10 9-minute sessions and the control group did not receive any training. Research instruments included Farahijan Mitmansgrober et al. (2009), Carver et al. (1989) Coping Skills Questionnaire, Nock et al. (2008), Spielberger Anger Control Questionnaire (1999) and Murray-Parent-Child Conflict Questionnaire. Strauss (1990). Data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance in SPSS software version 23.

Findings showed that stress reduction strategy based on awareness of Farahijan (anger, shame, control of violence, suppression, compassion and interest), Awareness of emotional responsiveness (sensitivity, intensity and continuity of emotion) and anger control (external anger, incidence) Internal anger, external anger control and internal anger control) are effective in adolescents aged 18-15 years (P <0.01). The results also showed that stress reduction strategy based on awareness-based attention to the variables of coping style (problem-focused, emotion-focused, ineffective and ineffective) is not effective (P> 0.05).

Due to the effect of stress reduction strategy based on awareness on Farahijan, emotional responsiveness, anger management planning is essential for the use of this treatment. As a result, therapists and counselors can use awareness-based stress reduction strategies along with other therapies to improve mood, emotional responsiveness, and anger management, especially in conflicting adolescents.
