This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of group-based acceptance and commitment to decreasing academic self-handicapping among male high school students — this quasi-experimental study followed by a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The present study had a research sample consisting of 30 students who were selected using a simple random sampling method and were assigned to an experimental group (15 people) and a control group (15 people). Eight 90-minute sessions of the group-based acceptance and commitment therapy were conducted on the experimental group once a week; however, the control group did not receive such training. Both groups were tested by a Midgley, Arunkumar &Urdan (1996) questionnaire on academic self-handicapping at the beginning and the end of the study. Data were analyzed using a univariate analysis of covariance. Results indicated that group-based acceptance and commitment therapy was effective in reducing academic self-handicapping. Therefore, the group-based acceptance and commitment therapy is effective in decreasing academic self-handicapping among male high school students.
