The research method was a quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a two-month follow-up phase. The statistical population of the study included all female students in the second year of secondary school in District 1 of Ardabil city in the academic year 2023-2024, of which 39 people were selected by purposive sampling and were randomly assigned to two groups of psychological resilience training (n=19) and a control group (n=20). The experimental group received 8 sessions of 90-minute psychological resilience training. The Basic need satisfaction in general (BNSG) (Deci & Ryan, 2000), the academic optimism questionnaire (AOQ; Tschannen-Moran et al., 2013), and the academic performance questionnaire (EPT; Pham & Taylor, 1999) were used to collect data.Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the groups between pre-test, posttest, and follow-up in educational optimism and self-determination (P<0.01), and psychological resilience training had a lasting effect in the follow-up period (P<0.01). The results obtained indicate the effect of psychological resilience training on increasing educational optimism and self-determination of students with low academic performance, and therapists and school counselors can benefit from this training.
