Sample size consisted of 60 students from the mentioned papulation who were selected by cluster random sampling method and assigned in two control and experimental groups with high test anxiety students (n=30) and two control and experimental groups for low test anxiety students (n=30). The experimental groups received eight sessions of mindfulness intervention. Solomon's academic procrastination questionnaire (1984) and Spielberg test anxiety inventory (1970) were used for data collection. Data analysis was performed using covariance analysis.
Results: The findings of this study showed that mindfulness training was effective in high anxiety students (P = 0.01 and P <0.01) but had no effect in low anxiety students (P <0.5 and P = 0.5). F). There was also a significant difference in the effectiveness of mindfulness training on academic procrastination in students with high anxiety and low anxiety (F = 0.1 and P = 0.1).
