The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of academic anxiety in relation between parental psychological control and academic engagement. The statistical population included all the students of the last year of high school in Ahwaz, who were volunteers to enter the university during the academic year of 2018-2019. 353 of them were selected by multistage cluster random sampling. They responded to parental psychological control questionnaire, progression anxiety questionnaire, and academic engagement questionnaires. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling by Amos software. The Cronbach Alpha method was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. Results indicated a direct and significant relationship between parental psychological control with academic anxiety (β = 0.28, P = 0.01) and academic anxiety with academic involvement (β = -0.20, P <0.01). , Also, academic anxiety completely mediated the relationship between parental psychological control and academic engagement. As a result, reducing the level of psychological control by parents can reduce the level of academic anxiety and thereby improve students' academic engagement.

This study done with the purpose of investigate the effectiveness metacognitive therapy with emphasis on executive functions on two variables of cognitive- attention syndrome and sense of coherence in anxious students. The statistical population of this study was all female high school students in the Tehran, who were studying in the academic year of 1395-96 . The sample consisted of 20 anxious students who were selected by multistage purposive sampling. The research tools included Beck anxiety Inventory ( BAI; 1990 ), Antonovsky’s sense of coherence Inventory (SOC- 13 ,1993); Cognitive-Attention Syndrome Scale(CAS , Adrian Wells 2009) and the Meta-cognition questionnaire for adolescents(MCQ-A , 2004). Students responded to questions in three steps. Meta-cognitive therapy intervention (Adrian Wells, 2009) was conducted for seven sessions of 45-60 minutes and homework using the Tajhiz Sina’s WORKING MEMORY TRAINING Software(2010).Data analysis was carried out using parametric test, multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA). The results of the analysis showed that cognitive therapy, with emphasis on executive functions, reduced cognitive-Attention syndrome and improved the sense of coherence among students.
