Although emotions are the evolutionary mechanism, it has been attempted to control and direct these evolutionary programs. One of the ways to control emotions is to promote emotional self-efficacy. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the effectiveness of CBT and ACT on emotional self-efficacy of the family-headed women. For this purpose, 200 women were selected from among female-headed families under the auspices of the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee (IKRC) of Tehran. They were tested by emotional self-efficacy questionnaire. The control group did not receive any intervention. The experimental groups went through nine training sessions, respectively, on the CBT and ACT. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS-23 software and one-way covariance analysis. Results showed that both of the approaches were effective in the dependent variable, but there was no significant difference between them. Based on the results of the research, emotional self-efficacy of the family headed women can be increased by group-based CBT and ACT approaches.
