Abstract
The main objective this study was investigating the effectiveness of mindfulness training based on stress reduction on academic self-efficacy and exam anxiety of high school students in Tehran.The present research was semi-experimental and the research design was pre-test and post-test with a control group. The research population was 44 high school students in Tehran who were selected as a sample group in an available manner. All students completed Sarason's test anxiety questionnaire and Morgan et al. academic self-efficacy questionnaire. According to the scores obtained, the eligible people were randomly divided into 2 groups of 22 people i.e. experimental and control. Then, the subjects in the experimental group were subjected to the intervention of mindfulness training based on stress reduction in 8 sessions of 90 minutes, butC the control group received no intervention. Finally, a post-test was taken from both groups. The results showed that the mean scores of the 2 groups were different in both test anxiety and academic self-efficacy variables. In addition, the eta squared value shows the relationship between mindfulness-based stress reduction training and test anxiety variable (0.285) and academic self-efficacy (0.102). The comparison of the means shows that the average of the post-test test anxiety variable in the experimental group was lower than the control group, but the average scores of the experimental group in the academic self-efficacy variable were higher than the control group. Evidence indicates that mindfulness training based on stress reduction increases academic self-efficacy and reduces students' exam anxiety.
