First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week online mindfulness program (MBSR) can improve emotional intelligence and reduce stress-related physical symptoms in adolescents aged 14 to 18 who have experienced bullying and childhood trauma. About 44 teens are randomly assigned to either the mindfulness group or a waitlist. Researchers measure changes in emotional intelligence, psychosomatic symptoms, mindfulness, and bullying exposure before and after the program.
