Brief Summary
This study investigates the effectiveness of a short self-compassion mental intervention in reducing aggression among adolescents. Although they display potential, current solutions are arduous and time-consuming. The study provides preliminary results on the effectiveness of this method in addressing the lack of information. The intervention's simplicity and precision have the potential to greatly influence the treatment of teenage violence. This could lead to the general acceptance and implementation of mindfulness-based self-compassion, making it accessible at a reasonable cost. The study's brevity and specificity hold promise for broader implementation. A significant gap exists in the literature concerning brief mindfulness-based self-compassion interventions tailored specifically to address adolescent aggression. Most existing studies have explored more extended interventions or general mindfulness programs, leaving a dearth of research on the effectiveness of concise, targeted interventions for adolescents dealing with aggression.

The ethical committee of FJWU Rawalpindi approved the research topic in the first phase. The principals of the government and private schools in Rawalpindi granted permission for the data collection. Prior to the commencement of the study, we debriefed the participants about the research topic and its conduct modalities. Participants were approached by purposive sampling. We obtained informal consent from both the students and the parents. 3.7.2 Phase II In the second phase of the research, the participants were randomly assigned to the control and intervention groups by using software. The interventional group exposed participants to Urdu-adapted and translated mindfulness-based self-compassion training. However, the control group either maintained their usual routine or standard care, or received a non-specific intervention. After the successful completion of mindfulness-based self-compassion training, both groups were evaluated. Pre- and post-assessment results were assessed.
