Abstract	This study is conducted with the aim at determining the effectiveness of positive psychology training on hardiness and psychological well-being in household female heads. The statistical population consists of all household female heads under the protection of Women's affair Office in municipality of District 12during 2013-14. This research is among the semi-experimental studies with pre and posttest design and control group. First, the hardiness and psychological well-being questionnaires are implemented on 70 household female heads, and the women with hardiness and psychological well-being scores lower than the average level are selected and 30 ones are randomly selected from them. They are divided into two equal groups in a draw, first as the experimental group (15 subjects) and the other as the control group (15 subjects). The independent variable (positiveoriented learning) is held on the experimental group in fourteen 90-minute sessions, and the post-test is implemented for both groups after the last session. The hardiness questionnaire (Kobasa) and Ryff's long-form Psychological Well-Being questionnaire are utilized in this study and responded by both groups during two steps. The findings are analyzed based on the statistical tests of inter-group analysis of covariance. Confirming the research hypotheses, the results indicate that the positive psychology training affects the hardiness and psychological well-being in household female heads and increases the rate of their hardiness and psychological well-being.
