Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Seligman's Positive psychology group training and Quranic Teachings on increasing the happiness of employed married women. Methods: The research method followed a semi-experimental design which included pre-test, post-test and control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all the married women employed in the department of education in the city of Amol, Iran, during the academic year 2016-2017. Considering the minimum scores obtained on Oxford happiness Questionnaire and the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a sample of 75 women were selected through purposive sampling. They were randomly assigned to three groups of 25 women (two experimental groups and one control group). Participants in the two experimental groups were trained for four 90-minute weekly sessions on Seligman's Positive psychology and Quranic Teachings. Oxford happiness Questionnaire was used to collect information. The obtained data were analyzed through repeated measure design and Cohen’ s d-test. Findings: Results showed that each of the training methods had a significant effect in increasing happiness of the married female employees (p<0. 01). However, the Quranic teachings group showed a greater effect compared with the Positive psychology method (p <0. 01). The follow-up results also showed that training methods have had a lasting significant effect (p <0. 05). Conclusion: With regards to the findings of this research, it can be concluded that teaching positive psychological interventions and Quranic teachings can help increase women's happiness.
