Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on depression and attentional control in adolescents. This research was a randomized controlled trial with a pre-test, post-test, and five-month follow-up design including a control group. The statistical population consisted of adolescents aged 14 to 17 from Karaj, who voluntarily participated. A total of 45 participants were randomly assigned to three groups: CBT, ACT, and control (15 participants each). The interventions were conducted in eight 90-minute group sessions. Data were collected using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and the Attentional Control Scale (ACS). Data analysis was performed using repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests via SPSS version 27. ANOVA results revealed significant differences among the three groups in depression (F = 41.37, p < .001, η² = 0.66) and attentional control (F = 32.64, p < .001, η² = 0.61). Bonferroni post-hoc tests showed that the ACT group demonstrated significantly greater reductions in depression (p < .001) and improvements in attentional control (p < .001) compared to the control group. Moreover, ACT was significantly more effective than CBT in both variables (p < .05). Both CBT and ACT were effective in reducing depression and enhancing attentional control in adolescents, but ACT demonstrated more sustained effects during the follow-up phase. These findings support the value of third-wave therapies in adolescent interventions.
