The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of problem solving training on reduction of math anxiety among the students with field-dependent cognitive style in Hamadan city. The used method was of quasi experimental type. In this research pre-test and post-test with control group were used. 148 male students, in control group, completed the math anxiety test. Then the students with math anxiety completed the group embedded figures test so as to be identifies as those with field-dependent cognitive style. Then, 40 students with field-dependent cognitive style were randomly divided into the experimental and the control groups. The experimental group received training in problem-solving method and the control group did not have any intervention. The results indicated that the problem solving training reduced the math anxiety among the male students with field-dependent cognitive style. Thus, using problem-solving techniques and skills can reduce math anxiety of male students with Fi
