Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between metacognition beliefs and mental health and academic achievement in male high-school students of the city of Oshnaviyeh in the 2006-2007 school year. Among these, 210 students selected through cluster sampling. The instruments for this study were Goldberg & Hillier Metacognition Scale, and Cartwright, Hutton & Wells Mental Health Scale.
