Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of teaching self-research and self-reconstruction program with a revelation approach on cognitive distortions of student teachers at Farhangian University. The research method was a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population included student-teachers of Hasheminejad University of Khorasan, who were selected by using purposeful sampling. The data collection tool was the Cognitive Distortions Questionnaire (Abdollahzadeh and Salar, 2010). Data were analyzed by using SPSS-23 software and analysis of covariance method. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in some components of cognitive distortions, such as hasty conclusions (p<0.01), exaggerated generalization, disregard for the positive, should and better, labeling, and personalization (p<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in components such as all-or-nothing thinking, mental filtering, macroscopic-microscopic thinking, and emotional reasoning (p>0.05). Overall, the findings showed that the self-research and self-reconstruction program with a revelatory approach plays an effective role in reducing many cognitive distortions of student teachers. These results can be used to improve educational training and promote students' mental health.
