The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of compassion-focused art therapy on psychological capital and Anger rumination in abused and orphaned adolescents. The present study was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population included all abused and orphaned adolescent girls supported by the Bushehr welfare organization in 2023 in Bushehr. The research sample consisted of 30 people who were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) by Luthans and Avolio (2007) and Anger Rumination Scale (ARS) by Sukhodolsky et al., (2001) were utilized to collect data. The data was analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis. The results showed that by controlling the effect of the pre-test, there is a significant difference (p<0.01) between the post-test of the experimental and control groups in psychological capital (efficacy, hope, resilience, optimism) and anger rumination (Angry Afterthoughts, Thoughts of Revenge, Angry Memories, Understanding of Causes). Consequently, it can be declared that compassion-focused art therapy is an efficient treatment for enhancing psychological capital and decreasing anger rumination in abused and orphaned adolescents.
