Abstract :
The present study seeks, as its main purpose, to investigate the effectiveness of Mindfulness-based techniquesand and self-adjustment training on test anxiety among the female students. To this purpose, a quasi-experimental method was used. The statistical population of this research included 193 female students of Zeinab-e Kobra Higher Education Center of Kazeroon from among which 66 students who had higher exam anxiety scores according to the anxiety test were selected through purposeful sampling and then they were randomly subdivided into three groups of 22; namely mind-consciousness training, self-adjustment training, and the control group, respectively. The research design was of a (quasi-experimental) semi-experimental type where a test anxiety questionnaire by Abolqasemi et.al. (2006) was used for collecting the data. The data analysis was conducted through one-way variance analysis, and Tuky post hoc test. The findings of the study indicated that offering (providing) mind-consciousness and self-adjustment trainings to these students were effective in reducing their test anxiety and that the former training proved to be more effective compared to the latter in terms of reducing the stress among the students.
