Background and Aims: Attention to mental and psychological well-being in educational settings, particularly among students navigating critical and challenging developmental phases such as adolescence, is highly important. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of yoga interventions on adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and the need for cognition in female adolescent students.
Materials and Methods: This study employed a quasiexperimental design with a pretest‒posttest framework. A total of 21 female students were randomly assigned to either a control group (n = 10) or an experimental group (n = 11). All participants completed the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and the Need for Cognition Scale during the pretest phase. The experimental group underwent yoga training for 4 weeks, consisting of three 60-minute sessions per week under the supervision of a yoga instructor, whereas the control group did not engage in any physical activity. In the posttest phase, both groups completed the questionnaires again .
Results: The results of the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) revealed a statistically significant difference between the groups in the variables of cognitive emotion regulation strategies and need for cognition (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: These findings suggest that yoga practices can contribute to positive modulation of emotions and enhanced cognitive engagement in female adolescent students.
