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).
