Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Psychological capital of adolescents of Tehran in 2018.
Methodology: The method used in this study was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of data collection, a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest design with control group and random sampling. The statistical population consisted of all high school students. Using a stage random sampling method, 30 students in both experimental and control groups (15 people) and control (15 people) were considered as sample size. The experimental group received 10 sessions of 90 minutes of life skills training, and the control group did not receive any treatment. In order to collect information, Psychological capital Luthanz inventory (2007) were used. To assess the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used and the coefficient for each questionnaire was higher than 0.7. Content validity was also used to assess the validity of the questionnaire, which was approved by the relevant experts. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software in two sections: descriptive and inferential (covariance analysis).
Findings: The results of the research hypothesis test showed that life skills training, 19.7% in self-efficacy, 23.2% in hope explanation and 17.1% in explaining the resilience of the experimental group played a role. But in the optimism of the experimental group, it was not effective (P = 0.904).
Conclusion: The overall results indicated that life skills training on psychological capital of adolescents was effective.
