The aim of this research was to determine the effect of education based on choice theory and rational emotive behavior therapy the academic achievement motivation and Difficulty in emotional regulation. The research design was experimental, with two experimental and one control groups in a pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up. The population of the study consisted of female high school students in first grades in Bushehr in the academic year of 2016-2017. In order to implement the research, 60 students were selected through random selection. After performing the pre-test with McInerney the academic achievement motivation questionnaire and Gertz-Roemer's emotional adjustment difficulty questionnaire, 20 students in the intervention group being taught the theory of rational emotive behavior therapy, and 20 subjects are randomly selected to be taught choice theory and 20 others are subjected as a control group without any intervention. Each experimental group is subjected to an intervention program for 10 sessions (2 sessions per week). The results of mixed analysis of variance showed that the two experimental groups assigned to the reality therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy programs in comparison to the control group significantly increased the academic achievement motivation and reduced the difficulty in emotional regulation and the experimental group receiving the choice theory program shows more increase in the academic achievement motivation. on the other hand, the experimental group receiving the rational emotive behavior therapy shows more decrease in difficulty in emotional regulation.
