Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the impact of teaching dynamic mental frameworks on test anxiety and perseverance in high school students from low socio-economic backgrounds in Arak. The research design was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all male high school students in Arak with low socio-economic status in the academic year 2023-2024. The sample included 36 male high school students from Arak with low socio-economic status, selected in three stages using a multi-stage cluster sampling method, and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The intervention program, lasting one month and comprising eight sessions, was implemented with the experimental group. To collect data, the Test Anxiety Questionnaire (Friedman & Jacob, 1997) and the Perseverance and Grit Scale (Duckworth & Quinn, 2009) were used. Data analysis was conducted using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) with SPSS software. The results of the analysis indicated that teaching dynamic mental frameworks significantly affected test anxiety and perseverance (p < 0.01). Therefore, by teaching this mindset to adolescents from low socio-economic backgrounds, it is possible to lay the foundation for their growth and progress in the future.
