اضطراب امتحان عامل پیامدهای منفی گسترده ای از جمله تنش روانی، عدم موفقیت در اتمام تحصیلات و احساس ناامنی است. در همین راستا آموزش عاقبت اندیشی یکی از راه هایی است که بر تنظیم هیجان و کاهش اضطراب امتحان اثر مثبت دارد. پژوهش حاضر جهت تعیین اثربخشی ماتریکس پذیرش، تعهد با شفقت بر تنظیم هیجان دانش آموزان مبتلا به اضطراب امتحان انجام گردید. این مطالعه از نوع آزمایشی با طرح پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون با گروه کنترل بود. در این پژوهش با استفاده از روش نمونه گیری خوشه ای چند مرحله ای 30 نفر از دانش آموزان دختر 17-15 سال (مقطع متوسطه دوم) شهر اهواز انتخاب و به‌طور تصادفی در گروه آزمایشی و گروه کنترل (15 نفر در هر گروه) قرار گرفتند. دانش آموزان عضو گروه آزمایشی یک دوره مداخله 16 جلسه‌ای (هر هفته یک جلسه ، به مدت 1 ساعت) دریافت کردند و اعضای گروه کنترل نیز بدون هیچگونه مداخله نظام مند و صرفا به تماشای فیلم و انیمیشن سینمایی پرداختند. شرکت کنندگان هر دو گروه قبل از شروع مداخله و در پایان دوره، به پرسشنامه‌ تنظیم شناختی هیجان پاسخ دادند. داده‌ها با استفاده از تحلیل کوواریانس چند متغیری مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. نتایج حاصل از تحلیل داده‌ها نشان داد که ماتریکس پذیرش، تعهد با شفقت موجب ارتقای راهبردهای شناختی مثبت تنظیم هیجان در دانش آموزان گروه آزمایشی در مقایسه با گروه کنترل‌شده است. بر اساس نتایج پژوهش ماتریکس پذیرش، تعهد با شفقت منجر به بهبود راهبردهایِ مثبت شناختی تنظیم هیجان در دانش آموزان مبتلا به اضطراب امتحان شد.
