The present study investigated whether the CBGT has any impact on mathematics
anxiety of high school students. The sample consisted of 16 subjects in the
experimental group and 17 subjects in the control group who had high level of
Mathematics anxiety on Mathematics anxiety rating scale (MARS). After the pre
test of two groups, the intervention by CBGT was given to the experimental group
in (15 sessions) for 1.5 hours – two time in a week and at the end of intervention,
again the Mathematics anxiety evaluated. Analyses of data of pre and post test by
repeated measures ANOVA has shown that CBGT was highly effective in reducing
Mathematics anxiety and two subscales of this scale ( test anxiety and numerical
anxiety). More over with respect to gender, there is a significant difference between
boys and girls in mathematics anxiety in post test of experimental group.
