| Sumario: | This paper analyses the impact of a mindfulness program on the level of self-esteem and emotional competence of a group of Latin American teenaged immigrants living in Spain. Two groups were involved in the study: an experimental group participated in the mindfulness program, and a control group, which did not take part in this program. The levels of self-esteem and emotional competence of both groups were assessed using the Rosenberg Self-esteem Questionnaire and the TMMS-24 Scale respectively. The statistical analyses showed a significant increase in the levels of self-esteem and emotional competence of the experimental group in comparison with the control group. The results of this study confirm the benefits of mindfulness techniques as useful and effective strategies to improve self-esteem and emotional competence. Also, they may be viewed as experimental evidence for integrating them in Education with the aim to improve the psychological and emotional well-being of young immigrants. |
