Research tools used in the study included mental well-being Questionnaire (Andrews & Robinson, 1991) and Iranian Character strengths Questionnaire (Hassaniraad, 2020). Before the interventions, pretest was conducted for the two groups. Then, the experiment group received Character strengths culture-Based Interventions (Hassaniraad, 2020) for 12 60-minutes sessions. After the interventions, post-test and one month later, follow-up was performed on both groups. The obtained data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The post-test results showed that in the experiment group, the scores of life satisfaction, negative emotion, and Character strengths (including wisdom, courage, humanity, and transcendence) all were at a higher level compared to the control group (P< 0/01). Observed changes in the experiment group were also somewhat stable at the follow-up stage.
