While emotional and behaviorial problems increase risks to youth development, resilience helps youth adapt and overcome adversity. Research has discussed factors related to youth resilience, emotional problems, and behaviorial problems; however, existing literature excludes non-western sociocultural contexts and has not explored the potential relations among mindfulness and life skills. This study examines the effects of mindfulness and life skills on resilience, emotional problems, and behaviorial problems of adolescents in China. Our data come from a group-administered survey among 60 adolescents from a school for behaviourally delinquent students in Beijing, China, in 2017. The regression results indicate that mindfulness is associated with reduced adolescent emotional and behaviorial problems, whereas life skills are associated with increased resilience. The findings suggest the importance of adolescent interventions that incorporate concepts from both mindfulness and life skills training.
虽然情绪和行为问题会增加青少年发展的风险，但适应力有助于青少年适应和克服逆境。研究已经讨论了与青少年适应力、情绪问题和行为问题相关的因素；然而，现有文献排除了非西方社会文化背景，也没有探讨正念和生活技能之间的潜在关系。本研究考察了正念和生活技能对中国青少年适应力、情绪问题和行为问题的影响。我们的数据来自于 2017 年对北京一所行为不良学生学校的 60 名青少年进行的团体调查。回归结果表明，正念与减少青少年的情绪和行为问题有关，而生活技能与增强适应力有关。研究结果表明，将正念和生活技能训练的概念纳入青少年干预措施非常重要。
