Official Title: Investigating a Mediation Model of Emotion Regulation and Psychological Resilience in Relationship Between Mindfulness and Negative Emotions Among College Students in Guangzhou
Brief Summary: This study examines whether a four-week mindfulness-based intervention can reduce depression, anxiety, and stress among college students in Guangzhou, China. It also investigates whether changes in mindfulness, emotion regulation, and psychological resilience may help explain the effects of the intervention.

Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either a mindfulness intervention group or a health education control group. The intervention group will receive weekly mindfulness-based training and complete brief daily mindfulness practice, while the control group will receive health education sessions. Participants will complete questionnaires assessing mindfulness, cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, psychological resilience, depression, anxiety, and stress before and after the intervention and at follow-up.
