Summary:Purpose This study aimed to examine the effects of a brief stress management intervention on depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and aggression among Korean male college students. Design and Methods In a repeated measures design, participants were assessed before, immediately after, and 3 months after the intervention. Data of 40 experimental and 32 control participants were analyzed using linear mixed models. Findings There were significant time‐by‐group interaction effects for depression and trait anxiety, but not for state anxiety, suicidal ideation, and aggression. Practice Implications The intervention has long‐term effects for depression and trait anxiety. Future research should involve a randomized controlled trial on a larger scale.
