Abstract:

Aim: The main objective of the study is to evaluate the interrelationship between mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-control and to explore the impact of emotional regulation and self-control on mindfulness among youth. Method: 150 youth aged 18-25 years were recruited for the research. Self-report measures including the ‘Mindful Attention Awareness Scale’, ‘Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale’, and ‘Self-Control Scale’ were used to collect the data from the sample. The obtained data was statistically analyzed with the help of descriptive statistics, bivariate correlation, and regression analysis in SPSS-26. Results and Discussion: The results indicated a positive correlation of mindfulness with emotional regulation (r=.409, p<.01) and self-control (r=.494, p<.01). Further, the correlation between emotional regulation and self-control is .289 which is also significant at p<.01. Emotional regulation (β=.410, F=47.767) and self-control (β=.494, F=34.819) serve as predictors of mindfulness. Conclusion: The outcomes depicted a positive significant role of mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-control in youth. The increase in the level of mindfulness is linked to improved emotional regulation and self-control. Policymakers and educational institutions should prioritize implementing and incorporating mindfulness training and self-regulation techniques into curricula that can assist students in managing stress, improving concentration, and promoting mental health.
