Given the effective role of psychological strategies in enhancing academic performance, it is of particular importance to explore new methods. This study compares the effectiveness of these two methods on academic determination in students with learned helplessness. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design with a control group. The research population consisted of all female students of the first high school of Qaemshahr who were studying in the academic year 2023-2024. Of these, 45 people were selected through purposive sampling and randomly divided into two experimental groups of 15 people along with a control group. They answered the Quinless and Nilsson (1988) Clark, Maleki Academic Grit Scale (2019) Academic Determination Questionnaire in three pre-post-tests as well as 2-month follow-up sessions. The subjects in the experimental group underwent self-hypnosis and future vision training in groups for 6 sessions, one 90-minute session per week, but the control group was not given training. The data were analyzed using SPSS software via the mixed multivariate analysis of variance test and the repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance test. The results revealed that there is a significant difference between the effectiveness of self-hypnosis and future vision training on academic determination in students with learned helplessness. Specifically, self-hypnosis training significantly enhanced academic determination compared to the control group. These findings highlight the high effectiveness of self-hypnosis as a psychological intervention in boosting motivation and academic persistence. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that self-hypnosis is a powerful tool for ameliorating academic determination in students experiencing learned helplessness, suggesting that it can be effectively incorporated into educational as well as counseling programs to boost students' motivation, resilience, and persistence in learning tasks.
