Effect of Mindfulness-Based Intervention on Self-Regulation among Adolescents

Abstract

The purpose of the present experimental work is to study the effect of mindfulness-based intervention on the self-regulation behaviour among adolescents. The pretest-posttest control group experimental design has been employed. The sample for the current study consists of sixty-two IX class students from two senior secondary government schools affiliated to the Punjab School Education Board. The Adolescent Self-Regulatory Inventory has been used to measure self-regulation at both the pretest and post-test levels. Mindfulness-based intervention was given to the experimental group, and no treatment was given to the control group. The independent sample t-test was used to analyse the collected data. It has been found that the mindfulness-based intervention has resulted in improving the self-regulation abilities among experimental group in comparison to the control group.
