Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of academic buoyancy training and logotherapy on motivational orientation in secondary school students.
Methodology: This study was applied in terms of purpose and semi-experimental in terms of execution method with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The research population was the second grade students of secondary school in Iranshahr city in the academic year of 2019-20. Among them, 60 students were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly divided into three equal groups. The experimental group of academic buoyancy received training in 12 sessions of 70 minutes and logotherapy in 10 sessions of 70 minutes, and the control group did not receive training. The research tool was motivational orientation questionnaire (Ryan, 1989). Data were analyzed in SPSS-V21 software with multivariate covariance analysis methods.
Findings: The results showed that the increase in motivational orientation in the buoyancy training group was statistically significant compared to the logotherapy and control groups, while the logotherapy training did not significantly increase the motivational orientation compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is recommended that counselors and psychologists use academic vitality training methods to increase motivational orientation.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of peace education on the psychological capital in male high school students.Methodology: The present study was a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test-post-test design with a follow-up of two months And considering the two experimental and control groups. The statistical population of the study consisted of male high school students in District 3 of Tehran in the academic year 2019-2020. 30 samples were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. The data collection tool was the Lutans Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ). The experimental group received peace training in 8 sessions of 120 minutes in 4 consecutive weeks and the control group did not receive any training in this field. For data analysis, repeated measures analysis of variance was used in spss-22 and the above research is significant at the level of 0.01.Findings: The results showed that the implementation of peace education in the experimental group compared to the control group significantly affected the four components of psychological capital in male students. Also, the above results did not show much difference in the follow-up stage compared to the post-test stage, and based on this, it was concluded that peace education for male high school students steadily increases their psychological capital.Conclusion: Considering the positive effect of peace education on increasing the psychological capital of junior high school male students, it is suggested that these trainings be included in the curriculum or extracurricular activities of students in different levels and courses of study. Teachers and parents should be introduced to these concepts and the importance and necessity of addressing them in the school environment and classrooms by participating in workshops.
