The participants were divided into two experimental and control groups by random assignment, and the experimental group received 8 treatment sessions. As a pre-test and post-test, the participants answered the academic procrastination questionnaire of Solomon and Rothblom (1984), the self-handicapping questionnaire of Jones and Rodolt (1982) and the cognitive flexibility questionnaire of Dennis and Vanderwaal (2010). The results showed that treatment based on acceptance and commitment reduces academic procrastination, self-disability and improves cognitive flexibility in students addicted to social networks (p<0.01). Treatment based on acceptance and commitment can be one of the intervention programs of school counseling centers in order to reduce procrastination and other variables involved in the target groups.
