This study examined the effectiveness of mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) in improving non-clinical adolescents’ anger. MBI for anger and anger rumination among non-clinical adolescents has not yet been developed. Previous studies had two major limitations: First, the interventions were not based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and second, there were no measures of mindfulness, impeding the development of effective anger prevention and treatment. This study adopted an intervention derived from MCBT to examine its effects in alleviating anger and anger rumination among non-clinical adolescents. A total of eight Japanese undergraduates participated in the intervention, which comprised five weekly sessions. The intervention modified some components of the original MBCT to focus on anger and anger rumination. Results indicate that the five-session intervention in the present study had a significant impact on anger rumination, trait anger, and anger-control, despite insufficient increases in mindfulness skills. A self-monitoring component, but not mindfulness exercises, may work in the intervention. The necessity of mindfulness components in interventions for adolescent anger is discussed. Future studies need to include appropriate measures of mindfulness and examine the effects of an intervention with a larger non-clinical adolescent sample.

这项研究检验了正念为基础的干预（MBI）在改善非临床青少年的愤怒中的有效性。尚未开发出用于在非临床青少年中进行愤怒和反刍的MBI。先前的研究有两个主要局限性：第一，干预措施不是基于正念的认知疗法（MBCT）；第二，没有正念的措施，阻碍了有效的愤怒预防和治疗的发展。这项研究采用了源自MCBT的干预措施，以研究其在缓解非临床青少年的愤怒和愤怒反刍方面的作用。总共有八名日本大学生参加了此次干预，其中包括每周五次会议。干预措施修改了原始MBCT的某些组成部分，将重点放在愤怒和愤怒反省上。结果表明，尽管正念技能的提高不足，但本研究的五阶段干预对愤怒发怒，特质愤怒和控制愤怒有重大影响。自我监控的组成部分（而不是正念练习）可以在干预中起作用。讨论了针对青少年愤怒进行干预时正念成分的必要性。未来的研究需要包括正念的适当措施，并用较大的非临床青少年样本检查干预措施的效果。讨论了正念成分在青少年愤怒干预中的必要性。未来的研究需要包括正念的适当措施，并用较大的非临床青少年样本检查干预措施的效果。讨论了针对青少年愤怒进行干预时正念成分的必要性。未来的研究需要包括正念的适当措施，并用较大的非临床青少年样本检查干预措施的效果。
