Abstract

The aims of this study were to examine the influence of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) on dysfunctional anger and also to investigate the repeated measure mediated effects of anger rumination on dysfunctional anger. Half of the twenty four undergraduate students were assigned to the group of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, whereas the other half were assigned to the waiting control group. Both of these groups participated in a voluntary program. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy iss composed of eight sessions administered every week, lasting two hours per session. The first part of the program(1-4 sessions) is focused on the fact that subjects have a mindfulness meditation and are aware of the psychological symptoms associated with anger. The latter of the program (5-8 sessions) is focused on improving the ability to control anger through mindfulness. The number of undergraduate students who completed the assessment at termination was 9 in the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and 10 in the waiting control group. The results of the study are as follows: First, the treatment group reported significantly a lower score level of anger-out and trait anger compared to the control group. No significant changes have occurred regarding the level of anger-in. Second, the results indicated that anger rumination mediate the relationship between mindfulness and dysfunctional anger. Finally, we discussed the implications and limitations of this study and provided suggestions for future studies.
