This research examines what effects the MBSR program can have on high school students' depression and anxiety. Thirty two students from a girls high school in Seoul, sixteen into the experimental group and sixteen into the control group, have participated in the research, and an analysis has been made upon the effects of MBSR. The results shows that those in MBSR has demonstrated a lessened tendency of depression. While the result of analysis of covariance indicates little significance, the t-test results of the experimental group before and after the MBSR program reveal a meaningfully lessened degree of anxiety. This tells us that the MBSR program can have effects of lowering depression and anxiety of highschool students due to their stressful daily lives. Based on the observations made in the research, comments are also made on implications and limitations of a MBSR program for teens and of it in relation to psychotherapy.
