Abstract: (2625 Views)
Background and Aim: test anxiety disorder is one of the prevalent disorders among students. The disorder is a progressive and situation-dependent. Patients experience unpleasant physical and psychological conditions and their inter-personal relationships are affected, in some cases. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of “acceptance and commitment training” (ACT) on the students suffering anxiety on dual citizenship students.
Material and Method: The study design was semi-experimental with pretest and posttest control group. The studied population was dual citizenship students who suffered from test anxiety and were referred to the international counseling center in Shiraz. 52 students were selected among the population by convenient sampling method. The participants assigned to either of the control and the ACT group, randomly. ACT group was taught for 8 sessions, while the control group received no interventions. The two groups filled Sarason’s inventory before and after intervention, to assess the test anxiety. ANOVA test was applied to analyze the data, using SPSS software version 22.
Results: The results of covariance analysis indicated significant decrease in scores of the test anxiety inventory of ACT group, compared to control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Acceptance and commitment training is effective for decreasing the test anxiety of dual citizenship students. It is possible to apply the techniques of this therapeutic approach in schools and Therapeutic centers to treat students' anxiety.
