The research community in this study was the boy students of accounting in Islamic Azad University of Hamadan. A sample including 45 people were selected from the research community and were put randomly in three groups of group training of stress management, cognitive group therapy and control group. The data gathering tools in this study was Watson & Fred stress and avoidance questionnaire. Stress and avoidance questionnaire was used for the pretest and posttest; group training of stress management and cognitive group therapy held ten 1.5-hour sessions per week, with control group receiving no therapy. For the descriptive analysis of data, statistical indicators like mean, standard deviation and in deductive statistic, covariance analysis were used.
Results: The result of ANCOVA showed that after adjusting for pretest there was a significant difference between the three group means (F_(1,41)=18/139, p<0.0005). Also the investigation of the adjusted means suggested that group training of stress management is more effective than cognitive group therapy; symptoms of the two experimental groups showed a greater reduction in post-test in comparison with those of the control group.
Conclusion: The research results showed that group training of stress managementand group cognitive therapy are both effective in reducing students’ social phobia.
