This study was applied in terms of purpose and semi-experimental based on the nature and method with pretest-posttest along with a control group. The statistical population included all high school girl students of the second semester of the Semnan high schools. From this population, the fifty people who had the highest score in the Friedman test anxiety questionnaire were selected and randomly assigned to one of the two experimental and control groups. The data collection tool consisted of two standard questionnaires including; fear of failure in Conroy's performance (2001), and Savari's academic procrastination (1392). The results of multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that the mean of the experimental group in the components of fear of failure and total score of fear of failure and total score of procrastination was significantly lower (P <0.05) than the control group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups in the components of procrastination. The results showed that attribution retraining reduced the fear of failure and academic procrastination. This intervention contributes significantly to the mental health of students and prevents the wastage of social and economic costs of society. M3 10.52547/erj.8.42.162 ER -
