Background and Purpose: High school students often experience procrastination and burnout, negatively affecting their overall performance and well-being. Addressing these issues requires targeted interventions aimed at psychological factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in reducing procrastination and burnout among male student athletes in the second cycle of secondary education in Marand city, Iran.
Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental design. The population of the study consisted of male student athletes in Marand city during the academic year 2018-2019. Using cluster random sampling, one boys' high school was selected, and 100 students from this school were administered questionnaires on burnout and procrastination. Then, 40 students with higher scores in burnout and procrastination were selected as the research sample. These students were randomly assigned to two groups: experimental and control (20 participants in each group). Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Salmela-Aro et al., 2009) and the Procrastination Scale (Tuckman, 1991) in pretest and posttest. Data analysis was performed using covariance analysis in SPSS software.
Findings: The results showed that ACT had a significant effect on reducing burnout and procrastination among male student athletes.
Conclusion: Accordingly, clinicians can help to improve burnout and procrastination among male student athletes by utilizing ACT as an effective treatment method.
