Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion regulation training and mindfulness training on rumination of female students with low academic performance in Junior high school in Tabriz. The research design was semi-experimental with pre-test and post-test, two experimental groups and one control group. The statistical population included all the female junior high school students in Tabriz, region one with low academic performance. Among them 75 students were selected as the research sample by randomized cluster method and randomly assigned in three groups (two experimental and one control group). The instruments of data collection included: Nolen-Hoeksema and Marrrow's mental rumination scale (1990). Emotion regulation package was performed in one experimental group and mindfulness package was performed in the other experimental group. Control group received no intervention. The research hypotheses were analyzed by one way ANCOVA. The findings indicated that the effectiveness of both of emotion regulation training and mindfulness training methods on decreasing mental rumination was confirmed, but no significant difference was observed between the effectiveness of both of these methods in both experimental groups. Regarding the results of this research, the use of emotion regulation and mindfulness methods can be effective in reducing mental rumination among students with low academic performance.
