Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on achievement goals (dominant, functional, attitudinal, and avoidance) and academic motivation of female high school students in Shahrekord. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and a two-month follow-up period with a control group. The study's statistical population included all female high school students in Shahrekord in the academic year 2022-2023. The study's statistical population included all female students from Shahrekord's second high school during the academic year 2022-2023. Using multi-stage cluster sampling and screening (40), participants were selected and randomly assigned to two experimental (20) and control (20) groups. The data were analyzed using the analysis of covariance test with repeated measures of the mixed design. The results of the data analysis showed that, by controlling the pre-test effect between the two experimental and control groups, there was a significant difference at the level of (P<0.001), and this effect continued until the follow-up stage. Therefore, the mindfulness-based cognitive therapy protocol was effective and sustainable in achieving the goals and academic motivation of the second-high school female students
