Abstract
The expansion of digital environments has introduced complex psychological challenges for Generation Z, particularly in managing continuous exposure to online stressors. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an integrative training model combining digital mindfulness and local cultural wisdom to enhance emotional maturity and digital resilience. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was employed. The sample consisted of 40 participants aged 18–26 years in Bojonegoro, Indonesia, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The intervention was delivered through 6 structured sessions integrating digital mindfulness practices with culturally grounded values such as nrimo (acceptance), eling (self-awareness), and rukun (social harmony). Data were collected using validated scales of emotional maturity and digital resilience administered at pre-test and post-test. Statistical analyses included independent samples t-tests, ANCOVA, and mediation analysis. Results showed that the experimental group experienced significant improvements in emotional maturity (t = 8.62, p < 0.001) and digital resilience (t= 9.01, p < 0.001), with very large effect sizes. ANCOVA confirmed that the intervention effects remained significant after controlling for baseline differences. Mediation analysis indicated that emotional maturity accounted for 56% of the total effect of the intervention on digital resilience. These findings indicate that digital resilience can be enhanced through integrative interventions that combine emotional regulation, mindful engagement with technology, and culturally relevant frameworks. The study provides empirical support for a contextually grounded model to strengthen adaptive capacities among Generation Z in the digital era.
