Introduction: Alcohol addiction is an important phenomenon, which has attracted   college students because of its multi-variable nature. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of meta-cognitive group therapy on the alcoholism potential in male students.
Methods: This study was considered as a semi-experimental research which has used the pretest-post-test with control group and follow-up stage design. The statistical population included all of the undergraduate male students at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in the academic year 2017. The sample including 30 subjects was selected by the cluster sampling and they were assigned into experimental and control groups. In this study, meta-cognition questionnaire (MCQ-30) and the addiction potential scale (APS) were used.
Results: The obtained data were analyzed using the analysis of covariance and dependent t-test. The covariance and post-test alcoholism potential scores showed that the effect of meta-cognitive therapy on the alcoholism potential of male students was significant (P<0.01).
Conclusion: Overall, the results indicated that meta-cognitive therapy has decreased the alcoholism potential of the male students and the effect of meta-cognitive therapy on alcoholism potential in a three-month follow-up stage is persistent
