Summary

This pilot study investigates the effectiveness of Motivational Psychotherapy in reducing symptoms of depression and improving academic self-concept among adolescent girls in Iran. A total of 30 participants aged 13 to 17 were randomly assigned to an experimental group receiving Motivational Psychotherapy and a control group receiving no treatment. The intervention consisted of 8 weekly sessions based on the principles of motivational interviewing and was tailored to adolescent needs. Outcomes were measured using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and the Academic Self-Concept Questionnaire (ASCQ). Results suggest the potential benefit of this culturally sensitive approach in non-Western adolescent populations.
