The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy on the personality traits of mothers having children with autism spectrum disorder. This study was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. 45 mothers having children with autism spectrum disorder were selected by available sampling method and were equally and randomly placed in two experimental groups and one control group (15 people in each group). The experimental groups received separate training in acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, while the members of the control group did not participate in these programs. Subjects were evaluated using the five major personality factors questionnaire (1987). The data was analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance. The research findings indicated that acceptance and commitment therapy was effective on extroversion and cognitive-behavioral therapy was effective on the responsibility of this group of people (P<0.01). Also, examining the difference between the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy showed that there was a significant difference between the effectiveness of these two treatment methods on extroversion and responsibility (P<0.05). From this research, it can be concluded that acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy can play an important role in modulating the personality traits of mothers having children with autism spectrum disorder.
