Abstract EN
This study examined the rational emotional behavioral therapy (REBT) effectiveness used in group counseling to reduce the level of academic procrastination and improve the self-control of a sample of high school students at Ajloun governorate.
The researcher used an academic procrastination and a self-control scale, based on the scores of the academic procrastination scales.
Thirty students were identified as procrastinators; they were randomly assigned into an experimental group and a control group (15 per each).
The experimental group received training on REBT, while the control group didn't.
The result showed that REBT was more effective than the no-treatment in reducing academic procrastination in the post and follow-up tests.
Moreover, the REBT was more effective in improving self-control in the post and in the follow-up tests.
In light of the results of the study, the researcher provided several recommendations including the need to employ the REBT method to work towards improving self-effectiveness for students in accordance with the positive results for the method revealed by this study.
