The present study was conducted to comparing the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy and therapy based on acceptance and commitment on the social self-efficacy of single-parent boys in Bojnord city. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design and follow-up with a control group, and the statistical population was all single-parent male students of the first secondary school in Bojnord city in the academic year of 2023-2024, of which 45 were selected by purposive sampling. 200 single parent students were selected. The research tool was the Smith and Betz Social Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SES). The experimental groups underwent 8 sessions of 90 minutes separately under cognitive behavioral therapy and therapy based on acceptance and commitment, and the control group did not receive any intervention. All three groups completed the post-test again. And after one month, a follow-up period was also conducted. The data were analyzed with the analysis of variance of repeated measurements and the Bonferroni post hoc test and the results indicated the positive effectiveness of both cognitive behavioral therapy methods and treatment based on acceptance and commitment on social self-efficacy (P<0.001). Also, the effectiveness of treatment based on acceptance and commitment both in the post-test and in the follow-up period was more than cognitive behavioral therapy (P<0.05). Based on this, these two methods can be used to increase the social capabilities of single-parent boys and, while increasing social self-efficacy, prevent the occurrence of behavioral problems and social harms that threaten them.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of treatment based on acceptance and commitment to self-worth and lifestyle self-efficacy of overweight students. The method of this research was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population included all boys with overweight in the first high school of Bojnourd in 2021 who received an overweight diagnosis in the obesity screening program. The sample consisted of 30 people who were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly placed in two groups of 15 people tested and controlled. Research tools included the Clark et al Lifestyle Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (WELQ) and the Crocker et al Self-Esteem Questionnaire (CSWS). The experimental group was treated with acceptance and commitment based on 8 sessions of 90 minutes and the analysis was performed by univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance. Findings showed that there was a significant difference between students participating in experimental and control groups in terms of one of the variables of self-worth and lifestyle self-efficacy (p <0.001 and F = 34.06). Considering the effect or difference which is equal to 0.76, it was found that 76% of individual differences in post-test scores of self-worth and self-efficacy of students' lifestyle are related to the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy interventions (P <). From the above findings, it can be concluded that acceptance and commitment therapy is effective in lifestyle self-efficacy and self-worth.
