Abstract

Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of correcting the cognitive bias of self-inefficiency on the responsibility and academic motivation of students with academic failure.

Method: The statistical population of this semi-experimental research consists of female students of second secondary school in Bushehr city. In order to collect data, first, 372 students were selected using the multi-stage cluster sampling method, and then 32 students who had academic failure were selected and using the random selection method, they were divided into two experimental and control groups. 16 people in each group) were placed. The participants of both groups completed the personal and social responsibility questionnaires of Lee et al. (2008) and the academic motivation questionnaire of Wallerand et al. (1992) before and after the intervention plan. An intervention plan was implemented using dot probe software for eight weeks in the experimental group.

Findings: The results showed that the intervention aimed at correcting cognitive bias improves the intrinsic motivation (p<.01) and decreases the extrinsic motivation (p<.01) of students with academic failure. The findings also show the effect of cognitive bias correction on responsibility (p<.05) and individual responsibility component (p<.05).

Conclusion: According to the findings of the present research, the implementation of intervention programs aimed at correcting the cognitive bias that expresses the self-inefficiency of students with academic failure can, while reducing these biases, create self-efficacy beliefs and After that, self-efficacy will be felt and it will be the basis for increasing academic motivation and responsibility.
