This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of group motivational interventions on anxiety sensitivity and impulsivity in students with borderline personality symptoms. The present study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest, posttest, and control group. The statistical population for this research consisted of students from Tehran University of Medical Sciences and Azad University in the year 2025. who presented with borderline personality symptoms. 30 individuals were selected using non-random, purposive sampling from the university’s counseling and psychological services center and were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (15 participants) or a control group (15 participants). To collect data, the Borderline Personality Inventory (BPI; Leichsenring, 1999), Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI; Taylor & Cox, 1998), and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11; Patton et al., 1995) were used. The experimental group underwent the intervention over 10 group sessions, each lasting 60 minutes. Data analysis was performed using Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA). The findings indicated that after controlling for the pre-test effect, the intervention significantly reduced anxiety sensitivity and impulsivity in the experimental group (P<0.05). Overall, the results of this study demonstrated that motivational interventions played an effective role in reducing anxiety sensitivity and impulsivity among students with borderline personality symptoms.
