Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of a smile-selfie intervention in reducing stress among preservice teachers. A three-month randomized controlled trial was conducted with 326 participants. Results indicated improvements in stress and related psychological outcomes for the intervention group. Specifically, the intervention (1) increased positive affect while reducing nervousness and expressive suppression, particularly the tendency to avoid emotional expression, and (2) buffered the negative impact of negative affect on both suppression and stress. These findings support the smile-selfie intervention as a practical, low-cost strategy for managing stress in preservice teacher populations.
