Introduction: Social anxiety has adverse effects on students' psychological and academic performance; given the importance of this issue, the present study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness and emotion regulation training on social anxiety in students.
Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and control group, including a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population of this study included all students of the Islamic Azad University, Mashhad Branch, in the academic year 2023-2024. A total of 45 students were selected using the convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to three groups: experimental group 1 (15 participants), experimental group 2 (15 participants), and a control group (15 participants). Data collection was conducted using the Social Anxiety Scale (SAS, Jarabak, 1996). After administering the pre-test in person, the intervention groups underwent training, followed by a post-test for both groups and a follow-up test after two months. Mindfulness training was based on Kabat-Zinn’s (2003) model, while emotion regulation training was based on Gross’s (2002) model, both conducted in eight group sessions for the intervention groups. Data analysis was performed in SPSS-24 software using repeated measures analysis of variance.
Results: The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the three groups in the social anxiety variable (F=29.65, P=0.01); in fact, there was a significant difference between the control group and the intervention groups (P<0.05). However, the results of the Bonferroni test showed that there was no significant difference between the two intervention groups of mindfulness training and emotion regulation. (P<0.05); in fact, both interventions led to a similar reduction in social anxiety in students.
Conclusion: In summary, it can be concluded that mindfulness training and emotion regulation training both reduced social anxiety in students in the same way.
