The present research has studied the Effect of self-regulation strategies on academic motivation and test anxiety in first high school ninth-grade girls. In this regard, 55 people of ninth-grade female students in Tasuj are placed in two experimental and control groups by simple random sampling method. First, the subjects were tested by academic motivation and test anxiety pre-exam. Then 8 self-regulation strategies sessions for 100-minute were taught to the experimental group. During this period the control group received no intervention. The research instruments, Academic Motivation Inventory (AMS) by Valrandand coworkers (1992) with Cronbach''salpha between 0.83 and test anxiety questionnaire by Phillips (PAQ) with 0.82 Cronbach''s alpha was used, which was conducted in two groups pre-test and post-test. Data were analyzed using one-way covariance and by SPSS software. The results showed that there was a significant difference between control and experimental group students in academic motivation subscales (internal, external and amotivation) and test anxiety

The purpose of the present study is to determine the effectiveness of Stress Inoculation Training (SIT) on reducing test anxiety and enhancing academic performance of Iranian female secondary students in physics during academic year 1393-1394. The research method was quasi experimental with the experimental and control groups. To do this, forty students were selected through convenience sampling technique out of the research population, which included all students suffering from test anxiety. The research sample was then randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. The experimental group had been under group intervention with an approach based on stress inoculation training (SIT) for eight sessions. During this period, no intervention on control group was done. The research instruments were Philipʼs test Anxiety Questionnaire (PAQ) and scores in physics which were used for both groups during the pretest and posttest. The researchers used Analysis of Covariance to analyze the obtained data. The results showed that Stress Inoculation Training (SIT) led to decreased test anxiety and increased academic performance of the experimental group during the posttest (p< 0/05).
