The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on body image anxiety and emotional self-regulation among housewives. For this purpose, in a quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test and control group, 36 housewives were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control. The MBCT group and the ACT group participated in 8 sessions of 90-minute treatment. The groups were evaluated before and after treatment for body image concerns and emotional self-regulation. Analysis of covariance and Benfroni Post Hoc test showed that MBCT and ACT both reduced body image anxiety and increased emotional selfregulation in housewives. Of the two therapies, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) was more effective than acceptance and commitment therapy.
