As a preventive measure during the COVID-19 epidemic, we have had to stay at home for a long time The lifestyle of adolescents has undergone severe changes Almost every school started online education for the first time Some adolescents have shown low resilience when faced with these changes Most previous research has focused on mindfulness training and resilience by using cross-sectional or two-point tracking designs However, little is known about the developmental trajectories of the impact of mindfulness training on resilience, particularly during this epidemic Therefore, this study aims to explore how the developmental trajectories of resilience are impacted by mindfulness training After administering the CD-RISC, we recruited 90 students with low levels of resilience in intervention group Finally, 84 adolescents provided data at each assessment At the same time, we selected 90 students in the control group Paired sample t-test was used to compare every factor defined above by time The result showed that mindfulness training increased students' resilience and emotional intelligence in experiment group Then in the experiment group, latent growth modeling was used to (1) examine initial levels and changes in resilience over time and (2) predict initial levels and growth in resilience based on emotional intelligence The findings of this study are as follows: during a mindfulness training intervention, (1) individual resilience tends to increase, and rate of increase grows gradually;there are also significant individual differences in the initial level and development speed;(2) individual emotional intelligence can promote the growth of resilience With the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, more and more attention is paid to the mental health of students The research in this article shows that mindfulness training program should be given increasing consideration in the future
