The research design was true experimental which used pre-test and post-test randomized control group. The subjects of this study were 90 Form One students from three fully residential schools in Johor, Malaysia who were selected using group random sampling and were randomly assigned to the big experimental group (EGB), the small experimental group (EGS) and the control group (CG). All groups responded to the same questionnaires which were the Students’ Beliefs Questionnaire (SBQ) and Students’ Stress Questionnaire (SSQ) before and after the treatment. The data was analyzed by paired samples t-test and one-way ANOVA. The results revealed that 1) there were significant differences between pre-test and post-test in EGB and EGS for irrational beliefs and stress except for CG, 2) there were significant differences between post-test of EGB and CG and also EGS and CG for irrational beliefs and stress, 3) there were no significant differences between post-test of EGB and EGS for irrational beliefs and stress.
