Abstract :

Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness group training on interpersonal sensitivity in women. Methods: The research method was a quasi-experimental design with pre-test-post-test and experimental and control groups. The statistical population of this study included 30 women living in Alborz province. They were selected using purposive sampling and matched with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Bayes and Parker Interpersonal Sensitivity Questionnaire (1989) and the Freiburg Mindfulness Questionnaire (2001) were used to collect data. In the experimental group, 8 90-minute mindfulness group training sessions were implemented. However, no intervention was performed in the control group. The resulting data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Results: The research findings showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups after implementing mindfulness group training (P≤0.5). Also, the components of interpersonal sensitivity in the experimental group were significantly reduced compared to the control group. The findings of this study showed that mindfulness training improved and reduced interpersonal sensitivity (p<0.05).

conclusions: Therefore, it can be concluded that mindfulness training has a significant effect on the components of interpersonal sensitivity (interpersonal awareness, need for approval, separation anxiety, shyness, fragile self-esteem) in women. And mindfulness has reduced interpersonal sensitivity in women.
