Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of mindfulness based stress reduction training on the social competence of female adolescents with internalizing behavior disorder. The study was semi-experimental (having experimental and control groups) with three stages (pre-test, post-test, follow-up) and two-month follow-up period design. The statistical population comprised of female adolescents with internalized behavior disorder who were studying in the first period of secondary school in the academic year of 2022-2023 in Qom. Among them, 37 individuals were selected through purposive sampling approach and randomly accommodated into experimental group (19 individuals) and control group (17 individuals). The experimental group received ten ninty-minute sessions of mindfulness based stress reduction training during ten weeks. Social Competence Questionnaire (SCQ) and Children and Adolescents Behavioral Inventory (CABI) were the tools by which the data was gathered. The data were analyzed via mixed ANOVA method and post-hoc Bonferroni test employing SPSS-23 software. The results indicated that mindfulness based stress reduction training had a significant effect on the social competence (F=36.83; Eta=0.51; P<0.0001) of adolescents with internalizing behavior disorder. According to the findings, one can conclude that mindfulness based stress reduction training can be implemented as an efficient method to improve social competence of adolescents with internalizing behavior disorder through applying the ways to deal with stress and act mindfully (breathing, eating, sitting and walking mindfully).
