BACKGROUND: Self-confidence is one of the main aspects of mental health during adolescence, which is essential for achieving goals. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of training information processing approach on self-confidence in female students of vocational schools in Isfahan, Iran.

The Eysenck self-esteem scale (ESES) was used to assess self-esteem among the students. Training the information processing approach was performed on the experimental group. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using paired sample t-test, independent t- test, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test.
RESULTS: The scores of the students’ self-confidence in the experimental group increased compared to the control group (P ≤ 0.050).
CONCLUSION: According to the results of this study, training information processing approach is effective on
self-confidence in female students of vocational schools in Isfahan. It is suggested to consider the training information processing approach along with other approaches.
