Mindfulness mediates the relationship between positive parenting and aggression, depression, and suicidal ideation: A longitudinal study in middle school students

“…Some studies have found that positive parenting is linked to a reduced risk of depression (Feng et al, 2009;Clayborne et al, 2021), suicidal ideation, and behavior (Lai and McBride-Chang, 2001), and aggressive behavior (Chen and Raine, 2018) in adolescents. A negative relationship between mindfulness and depression has also been reported in several studies (Christopher and Gilbert, 2010;Bajaj et al, 2016;Kircaburun et al, 2019;Al Harbi et al, 2021;Sharma and Kumra, 2022). Furthermore, a growing body of research has shown that MBIs can effectively reduce depression and aggression (Kriakous et al, 2021;Rezakhani and Vakili, 2021) in both clinical and non-clinical populations (Williams et al, 2000;Williams, 2008).…”
