چکیده

پژوهش حاضر باهدف بررسی اثربخشی ضربان دوگوشی بر اضطراب امتحان، توانایی شناختی و حافظه عملکرد اجرایی دانشآموزان دارای اضطراب امتحان انجام شد. طرح پژوهش حاضر از نوع نیمه‌آزمایشی پیش‌آزمون – پس‌آزمون بود. جامعه آماری، دانش‌آموزان پسر متوسطه دوم نمونه‌دولتی سطح شهر قزوین در سال ۱۴۰۳ بود که 30 نفر واجد شرایط ورود به مطالعه به روش نمونه‌گیری در دسترس انتخاب و به‌صورت تصادفی در ۲ گروه آزمایش و کنترل (هر گروه ۱۵ نفر) گمارده شدند. ابزارهای پژوهش پرسشنامه توانایی‌های شناختی نجاتی (۱۳۹۲)، آزمون بلوک‌های کرسی (۱۹۷۰) و پرسشنامه اضطراب امتحان فریدمن و جاکوب (۱۹۷۷) بودند. سپس شرکت‌کنندگان گروه آزمایش به مدت 30 دقیقه، 4 بار در هفته، به مدت چهار هفته ضربان دوگوشی 10 هرتز را از طریق هدفون دریافت کردند. برای تجزیه‌وتحلیل داده‌ها از تحلیل کواریانس چندمتغیری در نرم‌افزار آماری SPSS نسخه ۲۴ استفاده شد. یافته‌ها نشان داد که ضربان دوگوشی 10 هرتز به‌طور معنی‌داری حافظه فعال را بهبود بخشیده (0/05>p)، توانایی‌های شناختی را (به‌جز در مؤلفه‌های کنترل مهاری، برنامه‌ریزی و شناخت اجتماعی) افزایش داده (0/05>p) و موجب کاهش سطح اضطراب امتحان شد (0/05>p). بنابراین می‌توان بیان کرد که روش درمانی همگام‌سازی امواج مغزی در باند آلفا به‌عنوان یک روش مداخله‌ای غیرتهاجمی می‌تواند در جهت کاهش اضطراب امتحان و بهبود حافظه کاری و توانایی کارکردهای شناختی به کار گرفته شود.

چکیده [English]

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of binaural beats on test anxiety, cognitive ability, and executive function memory in students with test anxiety. The present research design was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest type. The statistical population was the second high school male students of Qazvin city in 1403, 30 of whom were eligible to enter the study and were randomly assigned to 2 experimental and control groups (15 people each). The research instruments were Nejati's Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire (2013), the Corsi Blocks Test (1970), and the Friedman and Jacob Test Anxiety Questionnaire (1977). Then, participants in the experimental group received 10 Hz binaural beats through headphones for 30 minutes, 4 times a week, for four weeks. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used in SPSS statistical software version 24 to analyze the data. The findings showed that 10 Hz binaural beats significantly improved working memory (p<0.05), increased cognitive abilities (except in the components of inhibitory control, planning, and social cognition) (p<0.05), and reduced the level of test anxiety (p<0.05). Therefore, it can be stated that the alpha band brainwave synchronization therapy method, as a non-invasive intervention method, can be used to reduce test anxiety and improve working memory and cognitive function ability.
