Abstract

The aim of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of compassion focused therapy (CFT) on academic resiliency and hopefulness in the academic procrastination of male students of the second degree of high school. This research method was semi-experimental with pretest-posttest design. Using Martin's academic resiliency, Schneider and et al's hopefulness and Solomon and Ratilom's academic procrastination questionnaires, 28 procastinated male students of the second degree of high school were purposively selected and were randomly assigned into two experimental and control group. (each group: 14). The experimental group received 8 sessions of CFT based on Neff’s instruction package and the control group did not receive any training in this field. After conducting the CFT, academic resiliency, hopefulness and academic procrastination of the students of two groups were measured again. Data were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA) and univariate covariance analysis (ANCOVA). According to the posttest scores of calculated F either in the Mancova analysis and either in the Ancova analysis for acadmic resiliency, hopefulness and academic procrastination showed significant differences in both groups. The results of this research which are in accordance with other studies, showed that CFT has significant role in increasing academic resiliency and hopefulness and decreasing academic procrastination in the male students.
