Introduction: Self-efficacy and self-belief can have an effective role in the social-educational situations of students. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of mindfulness training programs and executive functions on the self-efficacy indicators of female students.
Materials and Methods: The research was semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all female senior high school students in Hamadan City in 2024, totaling 1,205 individuals. Using multi-stage cluster random sampling, 60 students were selected and randomly assigned to three equal groups of 20 participants each. Data collection was done using demographic information checklist and General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire of Sherer and Maddux. Mindfulness training during 8 sessions and executive functions training during 10 sessions were applied to the experimental groups. The control group did not receive any training. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance.
Results: Mindfulness training and executive functions training improved the indicators of behavior initiation (from F=6.456 & p>0.138 in the pre-test to F=19.868 & p<0.001 in the post-test), behavior completion (from F=21.058 & p>0.454 in the pre-test to F=71.107 & p<0.000 in the post-test), facing obstacles (From F=2.101 & p>0.151 in the pre-test to F=26.383 & p<0.001 in the post-test), and total self-efficacy score (From F=112.024 & p>0.143 in the pre-test to F=232.981 & p<0.001 in the post-test) in female students compared to the control group. In addition, Benferroni's post hoc test showed that there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of the two educational programs (p>0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results, therapists and trainers active in the field of learning can consider the use of mindfulness training methods and executive functions in improving students' self-efficacy along with other educational programs.
