Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Positive Psychology Intervention training on enhancement of wellbeing, academic buoyancy and academic achievement in students. Method: A quasiexperimental method was used with control group and pre-test, post-test and one-month follow-up. The population consisted of 360 female secondary third grade school students in the academic year 2015-16 in the Charosa district of the City of Kohgiluyeh western Iran. Using a multi-stage cluster sampling method, 12 girls high schools were selected. Of these, two high schools namely, Umm-e-Kulthum and Khadijeh-e-Kobra and from each high school one class was selected and 48 students who fulfilled the necessary research entrance criteria were randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group. Data collection tools were as follows: Hoseinchari and DehghaniZadeh’s (2012) Academic Buoyancy Scale, Ryff’s (1989) Psychological well-being inventory, the grade point average (GPA) and Savajs Positive Psychology Intervention Program (2011) which included 11 weekly sessions of 60-minutes duration. The intervention program was carried out with the experimental group only. Data was analyzed using mixedvariance analysis with repeated measures design Results: Results showed that Positive Psychology Intervention training had a significant effect on wellbeing (F= 16.71, P= 0.001), and academic buoyancy (F= 16.21, P= 0.001), and that this effect remained stable after the follow-up phase.
