Abstract

This community service program aims to improve emotion regulation among adolescents residing in an orphanage through mindfulness training and expressive writing while evaluating the effectiveness of these interventions. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group was employed involving 35 adolescents aged 12–18 years, who were allocated to a mindfulness group (n = 13), an expressive writing group (n = 12), and a control group (n = 10). The interventions were delivered through brief, structured group sessions facilitated within the orphanage setting. Emotion regulation was assessed using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), adapted from Gross and John (2003), which measures the dimensions of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. Data were analyzed using Welch's ANOVA followed by the Games-Howell post hoc test. Pretest scores showed no significant differences among the groups, indicating comparable baseline conditions. In contrast, posttest results revealed significant between-group differences, with both intervention groups achieving significantly higher emotion regulation scores than the control group, whereas no significant difference was found between the mindfulness and expressive writing groups. These findings suggest that mindfulness training and expressive writing are practical, low-cost psychosocial interventions for strengthening emotion regulation among adolescents in orphanage settings. Although the program was limited by a relatively small sample size, the quasi-experimental design, a short intervention period, and the absence of follow-up assessment, both interventions demonstrate potential for integration into routine psychosocial services through basic training for caregivers and orphanage staff, thereby supporting sustainable implementation with minimal resources.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has provided numerous benefits, yet it has also generated psychological challenges for users. In the digital context, cognitive dissonance occurs when there is a mismatch between individuals’ beliefs and their digital behaviors, which can potentially undermine digital well-being. This study aims to systematically review the relationship between cognitive dissonance and digital well-being through an analysis of 17 scholarly articles published between 2015 and 2025. A literature review method was employed. The findings indicate that cognitive dissonance emerges in various digital contexts, including unmet technological expectations, information overload, social polarization, and unhealthy patterns of social media use. Cognitive dissonance is shown to be associated with digital well-being through increased levels of stress, anxiety, guilt, and dissatisfaction with digital experiences. Furthermore, coping mechanisms adopted by users, such as selective exposure, avoidance, and rationalization, tend to alleviate short-term psychological tension but may exacerbate digital well-being issues in the long term. This review highlights the importance of a deeper understanding of the role of cognitive dissonance in digital behavior and underscores the need for further research on digital well-being.
