Objective: Adolescence is characterized by extensive cognitive, emotional, and social transformations, and sport serves as a significant context for psychological development, potentially reducing aggressive behaviors and moderating maladaptive personality traits. The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of self-control training and mindfulness training on aggression and dark triad personality traits in adolescent Taekwondo athletes.
Methods:This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population comprised adolescent Taekwondo athletes in Tabriz during 2025. Using convenience sampling, 45 adolescent Taekwondo athletes were selected and randomly assigned to three groups: self-control training, mindfulness training, and control (15 participants each). Experimental groups received 10 sessions of 60-minute interventions. Data were collected using the Maxwell and Morris (2007) Competitive Aggression and Anger Questionnaire and the Jonason and Webster (2010) Dirty Dozen Dark Triad Personality Questionnaire, and analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance with SPSS24 software.
Results: Results demonstrated that both self-control training and mindfulness training significantly reduced aggression and dark triad personality traits (Machiavellianism and psychopathy) in adolescent Taekwondo athletes compared to the control group (P<0.001), but showed no significant effect on the narcissism component (P>0.05). The largest effect size was observed for aggression (86.3%) and the smallest for narcissism. Furthermore, no significant difference was found between the effectiveness of the two interventions (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Both self-control training and mindfulness training can be employed as effective interventions in reducing aggression and moderating dark triad personality traits (except narcissism) in adolescent Taekwondo athletes.
