Introduction: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy and adolescent-centered mindfulness on impulsivity and depression in adolescents with disruptive mood disorder symptoms.
Methods: The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up with two experimental groups and a control group. The statistical population included all adolescents aged 15 to 18 in Najafabad city in the academic year 1402-1403. The research sample was 60 people, selected conveniently based on the inclusion criteria specified in the study, and randomly assigned to three groups (20 people in each group). The research tools included the Laporte Disruptive Mood Disorder Diagnostic Scale (2019), the DSM-5-based diagnostic interview, the Barrett Impulsivity Questionnaire (2004), and the Kutcher Depression Scale (2002). In the process of implementing the research, after completing the research questionnaires in the pre-test stage, each of the experimental groups implemented their interventions in 60-minute sessions in the form of weekly sessions, and at this time, the control group did not receive any intervention. After the end of the interventions, the questionnaire was completed by the three groups in the post-test stage and also in the follow-up stage two months later. The data were analyzed using SPSS26 software and with the repeated measures analysis of variance method and Bonferroni post-test.
Results: The results showed that both dialectical behavior therapy and adolescent-centered mindfulness training had significant effectiveness in reducing impulsivity and depression in adolescents with disruptive mood disorder symptoms, and the effects remained in the follow-up stage (p<0.05).
Conclusion: In comparing the two intervention methods, the results also showed that in both the post-test and follow-up stages, dialectical behavior therapy was more effective than adolescent-centered mindfulness training in reducing impulsivity and depression.
