The Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Emotion Regulation Training on Reducing Anxiety and Improving Social Adjustment among University Students

Anxiety and social adjustment difficulties are among the most common psychological challenges faced by university students, which can negatively affect academic performance, interpersonal relationships, and overall mental health. Mindfulness and emotion regulation training have recently gained attention as promising approaches to reducing anxiety and promoting adaptive functioning. The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based emotion regulation training on reducing anxiety and improving social adjustment among university students. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with pre-test, post-test, and control group design. Results showed that mindfulness-based emotion regulation training led to a significant decrease in anxiety levels and an increase in social adjustment compared to the control group. The study concludes that mindfulness-based emotion regulation training can be considered an effective psychological intervention to reduce anxiety and enhance social adjustment among university students.
