This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT) training on insecure attachment styles and the general health of female students. The present research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest and control group. The statistical population consisted of psychology students at Islamic Azad University, South Tehran Branch, in the academic year 2023. A sample of 30 participants was selected using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two groups of 15 (experimental and control groups). The data collection and intervention tools included the Attachment Styles Questionnaire (AAI; Hazan & Shaver, 1987), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ; Goldberg & Hillier, 1972), and a 10-session CBT training protocol (one 90-minute session per week). The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The results indicated that, after controlling for the pretest effect, there was a significant difference between the posttest means of insecure attachment and general health in the experimental and control groups (p < 0.001). The CBT training led to a reduction in insecure attachment scores and an improvement in general health scores. Based on the above findings, it can be concluded that training in cognitive-behavioral techniques plays a significant role in attachment style and general health among students. This training can be utilized to enhance students' psychological well-being.
