Purpose: The present research was conducted with the aim of developing a structural model of students' happiness based on resilience, self-esteem and school satisfaction with the mediation of self-efficacy. Methodology: The method of the current research was descriptive-correlation type, which was carried out in the form of path analysis model. The statistical population of this research was made up of female students of the second level of high school in areas 2 and 5 of Tehran, who were studying in different fields of study in the academic year of 2022-2023. To determine the sample size, the principles of determining the sample size in structural equation modeling were used and 400 people were selected as a sample, which was selected using a multi-stage cluster random method. Data collection was based on Oxford happiness questionnaires, Connor and Davidson resilience scale, Cooper Smith self-esteem questionnaire, Morris adolescent self-efficacy questionnaire, and school satisfaction subscale related to the multidimensional scale of students' life satisfaction, which was Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The scores of the questionnaires were 0.93, 0.91, 0.89, 0.88, and 0.88, respectively, and their face and content validity was confirmed using experts' opinions. Data analysis was done with SPSS and AMOS software. Findings: The results of the path analysis showed that the main research model fits the collected data and all the goodness of fit indices were excellent (CFI=1, RMSEA=0.000, X2=0). Conclusion: Based on the results obtained, there is a direct and indirect relationship between all three exogenous variables in the model (resilience, self-esteem and school satisfaction) with the main endogenous variable (happiness). And self-efficacy variable mediates the relationship between these variables.

Purpose: Generalized anxiety disorder has many negative consequences, including reduced resilience. Therefore, the aim of this research was the effectiveness of assertiveness training program on the resilience and clinical symptoms of students with symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder.Methodology: This study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was semi-experimental with a pretest and posttest design with a control group. The research population was male students aged 16 to 18 in the second-high school of Karaj city in the 2019-20 academic years, which from them number of 50 people of them were selected by multi-stage random sampling method and randomly replaced in two groups of 25 including experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent 8 sessions of 60 minutes under the assertiveness training program and during this time the control group did not receive any training. The data were collected with the resilience scale (Connor and Davidson, 2003) and generalized anxiety disorder questionnaire (Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams and Lowe, 2006) and analyzed by multivariate covariance analysis in SPSS version 24 software.Findings: The findings showed that the experimental and control groups have significantly different in terms of the variables of resilience and clinical symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. In the other words, the assertiveness training program led to increase resilience (F-41.25, P<0.001) and reduce clinical symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (F-28.34, P<0.001) in students.Conclusion: The results indicated the effectiveness of the assertiveness training program on resilience and clinical symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. Therefore, counselors and therapists can use the assertiveness training program along with other training methods and programs to increase resilience and reduce the clinical symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder.

Purpose: Mental health plays an important role in the academic and non-academic life of students. Therefore, the present research was conducted with the aim of providing a structural model of predicting mental health based on personality traits with the mediating role of resilience in Islamic Azad University students.Methodology: This study was a cross-sectional from type of correlational. The research population was all the students of the Islamic Azad University of Tehran city in the academic years of 2022-2023, which the sample size was estimated to be 685 people. The samples of this study were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method and responded to the research tools including mental health questionnaire (Goldberg and Hillier, 1979), personality traits questionnaire (Costa and McCrae, 1985) and resilience scale (Connor and Davidson, 2003). The data of this study were analyzed by structural equation modeling method in SPSS and Amos software.Findings: The findings showed that the structural model of predicting mental health based on personality traits with the mediating role of resilience in Islamic Azad University students had a good fit. Also, in this model, neuroticism, extraversion, openness, adaptability and conscientiousness on students' resilience and neuroticism, openness, adaptability and conscientiousness on students' mental health had a direct and significant effect (P<0.05), but extroversion on their mental health did not have a direct and significant effect (P>0.05). In addition, neuroticism, extroversion, adaptability and conscientiousness with the mediating of resilience on students' mental health had an indirect and significant effect (P<0.05), but openness with the mediating of resilience on their mental health did not have an indirect and significant effect (P>0.05).Conclusion: In general, the results of this study indicated the direct and indirect effects of personality traits and resilience on students' mental health.
