Emotional Self-Regulation Questionnaire (Gross and John, 2003), Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (gillanders et al, 2014) and Early maladaptive schema Questionnaire (Young, 1998) were used in the present study. the data were analyzed through mixed anova via SPSS23 software. the results showed that adolescent based mindfulness training has significant effect on the emotional self-regulation (p<0001, eta=0.45, f=37.18) and cognitive fusion (p<0001, eta= 0.54, f=37.18) in the divorced female students with Early maladaptive schema of cut and rejection.
