Method: Using convenient sampling method 31 girls aged 14-15 years with mild to moderate symptoms of DEPRESSION and ANXIETY were assigned randomly to experimental and control groups. The intervention was given to the experimental group during 11 weekly two-hour sessions. DEPRESSION and ANXIETY symptoms were measured using DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, STRESS Scales (DASS-21) and LIFE SATISFACTION was measured using Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), before and after four months of intervention. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variances.Results: The results showed that in the experimental compared with the control group symptoms of DEPRESSION (p=0.002, F=1018), ANXIETY (p=0.005, F=9.31) and STRESS (p=0.001, F=12.62) were decreased, while LIFE SATISFACTION (p=0.003, F=10.18) was increased. The inter-group changes of all variables at follow-up and 9-month periods were not significant compared with post-test.Conclusion: Group intervention based on positive psychology reduces DEPRESSION, ANXIETY and STRESS significantly. Therefore, it could be used to reduce preclinical symptoms.
