The instrument used in the study was meta-worry subscale of Well’s questionnaire of anxious thoughts (1994). Twelve cognitive, meta-cognitive, and behavioral treatment sessions due to the developed model and on the basis of relevant theoretical insights was done twice a week for the experimental group while the control group received no intervention. After the treatment both groups were evaluated with the test. For data analysis one-way covariance (ANCOVA) was used.
