Data analysis was done using mixed analysis of variance test in SPSS-26 software. The findings showed that according to F in the perception of different options (4.342), perception of controllability(9.706) and perception of justification of behavior (4.914) was greater than F 0.05, therefore reality therapy based on choice theory and Schema therapy has been effective on the dimensions of cognitive flexibility. Also, according to the absolute value of the calculated t index [perception of different options (1.079), perception of controllability (0.564), and perception of justification of behavior (1.293)] smaller than B05.0, there was no significant difference in the average scores of people in the post-test and follow-up stage,and the effectiveness of the interventions in the follow-up stage has also been established.The results showed that reality therapy based on choice theory and schema therapy is effective on the cognitive flexibility of people with gender boredom and can improve this component.
