Effectiveness of Mindfulness- Based Intervention on Cognitive Flexibility, Digital Burnout and Emotional Regulation among College Students
Advanced International Journal for Research December 8, 2025 PM Malavia
Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) help university students improve emotional regulation, reduce digital burnout, and increase cognitive flexibility by cultivating nonjudgmental awareness of the present moment. The review indicates that MBIs enable students to notice thoughts and emotions without immediate reaction, disrupting automatic, unhelpful patterns. This practice acts as a mental "pause button," allowing students to view negative thoughts and intense emotions as temporary states and respond more thoughtfully to academic and digital stressors. Understanding how MBIs enhance these psychological processes is essential for creating effective student support programs.
