“…Regarding the third finding, there was no study examining the mediating role of cognitive flexibility in the relationship between psychological well-being and mindfulness in an integrated model. However, in a study conducted by Wen et al (2021) on a group of elementary school students, it was reported that cognitive flexibility mediates the relationship between mindfulness and stress and anxiety [67]. The third finding is consistent with the results of some studies on the relationship between cognitive flexibility and psychological well-being [40,42].…”

Introduction Adolescence is a critical period of growth. Mental health during adolescence is one of the most important determinants of mental health in adulthood. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between mindfulness and psychological well-being of adolescents considering the mediating role of self-compassion, emotional dysregulation and cognitive flexibility. Methods The method of this research is cross-sectional. The research population was adolescents (elementary, first and second high school) in Zanjan, Iran in 2021, whose approximate number was 14,000. Data through adolescent mindfulness questionnaires (Brown, West, Loverich, and Biegel, 2011), short form of psychological well-being questionnaire (Ryff and Keyes, 1995), short form of self-compassion scale (Raes et al., 2011), difficulty in Emotion regulation (Gratz and Roemer, 2004) and cognitive flexibility (Dennis and Vander Wal, 2010) were collected. Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis with SPSS-26 and lisrel-10.2 software. Results According the results, in addition to the fact that mindfulness is directly and positively related to psychological well-being (p < 0.05), it is also indirectly through self-compassion and Cognitive flexibility has a positive and significant relationship with psychological well-being and also mindfulness has an indirect, negative and significant relationship with psychological well-being through emotional dysregulation (p < 0.05). The results supported the goodness of model fit and confirmation of hypotheses. Conclusion Therefore, it is recommended that practitioners provide the basis for promoting psychological well-being through mindfulness, emotional dysregulation, self-compassion and cognitive flexibility.

“…These adolescents are better able to maintain high quality relationships, as they can respond constructively in times of conflicts (Knee et al, 2005), and are less likely to be too dependent or too avoidant. Correspondingly, previous research found that adolescents' ability to engage flexibly with thoughts and behavior relates to good relationship quality and peer cooperation (Bonino & Cattelino, 1999;Wen et al, 2021). Given the lack of research exploring the associations between friend support and autonomy, this study aimed to examine reciprocal associations between autonomy and friend support.…”

Although theories suggest transactional associations between adolescents' autonomy and relationships with parents and friends, few studies have examined these within‐person effects. This longitudinal study examined the within‐person co‐development of adolescents' autonomy and relationships with parents and friends. Adolescents (N = 244 Mage = 11.54, SD = 0.43 at T1; 50% boys) participated in a four‐wave study across 2 years in the Netherlands. In random‐intercept cross‐lagged panel models, within‐person results showed that higher levels of autonomy predicted less parental psychological control but not vice versa. However, no lagged‐effects between friend support and autonomy were found. This study suggests that adolescents' autonomy steers changes in parental psychological control.
