The statistical population of the present study included all members of the Bojnourd retirement association in 2020, who were at least 60 years old. The sample of the study included 45 age individuals who selected through targeted sampling as well as inclusion criteria and assigned randomely into two experimental groups (15 people in each group) and one control group (15 people). The research tool was the Luthans’, s psychological capital questionnaire.

Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and Bonferroni post hoc test using SPSS-22.
