The Impact of Mindfulness Yoga on AI Anxiety Among College Students: A Chain Mediation Model of Life Meaning and Psychological Resilience Moderated by Perceived Social Support

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, AI-related anxiety has emerged as a growing concern among college students. This form of anxiety not only impacts their academic performance and career planning but also poses potential risks to their mental health. While previous research has shown that mindfulness interventions can reduce anxiety and enhance psychological resilience, the underlying mechanisms through which they affect AI anxiety remain unclear.To address this gap, the present study implemented a 16-week mindfulness yoga intervention (twice weekly, 1.5 hours per session) to examine its impact on AI anxiety in college students. In addition, the study investigates the chain mediating roles of meaning in life and psychological resilience, as well as the moderating effect of perceived social support in this process.Findings from this research are expected to inform evidence-based interventions for mitigating AI anxiety and to contribute to the theoretical development of mindfulness applications within educational psychology.
