Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a counseling program and the effectiveness of a training program in reducing irrational thoughts among a sample of girls who failed high school. The study sample consisted of (30) high school female students in Karak governorate, and a measure of irrational thoughts were used. They did not undergo the training program. The study’s results showed an average level on the scale of irrational beliefs. There were statistically significant differences between the average performance of the examinees on the scale of irrational thoughts in favor of the experimental group due to the training program. In contrast, the results indicated no differences in the scale of irrational beliefs of the experimental group on the follow-up measure. The study recommended an attempt to focus on the positive behavioral and psychological variables associated with positive psychology and assigned to this category specifically so that it contributes to raising their motivation for study and perseverance and the need to provide tools with acceptable or appropriate validity and stability coefficients that take care of this category and pertain to this phenomenon.
