Abstract :
Background and purpose: One of the common disorders in adolescence is social anxiety disorder. This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness intervention on fear of negative social evaluation, rumination and cognitive regulation of emotion in adolescents with social anxiety disorder.
Methods: This research was a semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population consisted of 14-16-year-old boys with social anxiety disorder who referred to counseling and health centers in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd regions of Isfahan city in 2023. The number of samples was estimated to be 30 people through a purposeful way and using the G-Power method, and they were replaced in the experimental and control groups by simple random. To collect data, the Watson and Friend’s Social Anxiety Questionnaire (SAQ), the Leary's Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (FNES), the Nolen-Hoeksema and Murrow's Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), and the Garnefski et al.'s Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) were used. Multivariate covariance analysis was used to analyze the effectiveness of mindfulness intervention on the dependent variables.
Findings: Results showed that the effectiveness of mindfulness intervention was confirmed on all dependent variables (P<0.05). The effect size values with partial eta square index showed that mindfulness intervention was most effective on rumination with a coefficient of 0.59.
Conclusion: Mindfulness intervention reduces the fear of negative evaluation, rumination and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation and increased the adaptive cognitive emotion regulation in adolescents with social anxiety disorder.
