Abstract: (14 Views)
The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy on happiness, self-esteem, and irrational beliefs among couples. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest structure and a control group. The statistical population consisted of couples who referred to counseling centers in Marvdasht during the 2023–2024 academic year, from whom 60 individuals were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Data were collected using the Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI; Hills & Argyle, 2002), the Self-Esteem Questionnaire (SEQ; Dousti & Hosseininia, 2020), and the Irrational Beliefs Test (IBT; Jones, 1968). The experimental group received eight weekly sessions of positive psychotherapy, each lasting 90 minutes. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that, after controlling for pretest scores, there were significant differences between the experimental and control groups in posttest scores of happiness, self-esteem, and irrational beliefs at the 0.05 significance level. Based on these results, it can be concluded that positive psychotherapy had a significant effect on enhancing happiness and self-esteem and reducing irrational beliefs among couples in the experimental group.
