Abstract
| The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on academic burnout and social anxiety symptoms among female upper secondary school students. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group and a one-month follow-up. The statistical population consisted of female students attending public schools in Tehran, Iran, during the 2024–2025 academic year. Following an initial screening, 30 students with elevated levels of social anxiety were purposively selected and randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group.The experimental group participated in eight 90-minute sessions of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using the Adolescent Social Anxiety Scale and the Academic Burnout Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance.The results indicated that ACT significantly reduced social anxiety symptoms and academic burnout in the experimental group compared to the control group, and these effects were maintained at the one-month follow-up. Overall, the findings suggest that ACT, through enhancing psychological flexibility and reducing experiential avoidance, can improve students’ academic and social adjustment and may serve as an effective intervention within educational settings. |

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the prediction of empathy impairment based on childhood trauma, mediated by theory of mind deficits, among female university students. This study is applied in purpose and descriptive-correlational in methodology. The statistical population consisted of all female students at Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch, in Khordad 1404. The sample size was 210 individuals, determined using Cochran's formula (2023) and selected via convenience sampling.To measure the research variables, the short form of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire by Bernstein et al. (2003), the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test by Baron-Cohen et al. (2001), and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index by Davis (1991, note: corrected from "Batson") were used. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 28 and Amos version 24 software, employing Pearson correlation and path analysis. Results indicated that the research model had good fit (p<0.05). Childhood trauma predicted theory of mind deficits (β=0.484) and empathy impairment (β=0.435). Theory of mind deficits also predicted empathy impairment (β=0.299). Additionally, theory of mind deficits mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and empathy impairment among female students (β=0.145).Thus, it can be concluded that childhood trauma predicted empathy impairment in female students through the mediation of theory of mind deficits.
