Abstract
The present research aims at investigating the effect of hope-therapy intrusion on educational achievement goals in male high school students in district one of Qazwin. It is of quasi-experimental type with pre-test and post-test design. Two classes of students in a certain school were selected through cluster sampling; then, 23 students with avoidance achievement goals were selected using Elliot and McGregor’s questionnare composed of four scales (1. Mastery-approach goal, 2. Mastery-avoidance goal, 3. Performance-approach goal, 4. Performance-avoidance goal) and were placed into a control group and an experimental group. After 6 two-hours sessions of group hope-therapy intrusion aiming at changing achievement goals in experimental group, the post-test was conducted using the questionnaire of achievement goals in both control and experimental groups. The data were analyzed using the one-variable covariance analysis test. The results of covariance analysis showed that there is a meaningful difference between the groups in achievement goals and its components. Hope-therapy intrusion is effective in changing and improving aspects of achievement goals.
