The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of educational intervention-based psychologist on improving the performance of executive functions (flexibility, inhibition and active memory) of Tabriz Azad University students. The research design was a semi experimental, pre-test, post-test with control group. The statistical population of the study was students of faculty of psychology, Tabriz Azad University. 40 students were selected through voluntary sampling method and were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. Then, they were pre-test in both groups. Positive-oriented psychological intervention was performed in 10 sessions of 90 minutes on the participants of the experimental group, while the control group received no intervention. After completing experimental training sessions, both groups were re-tested. To collect data, cognitive flexibility questionnaire, active memory capacity test and Stroop computer test were used. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis. The results of covariance analysis showed that positive intervention psychology training was effective on improving the performance of executive functions (flexibility, inhibition and active memory) of students. As a result, the teaching method of positive-psychology intervention can be used as an effective way to enhance the performance of executive functions.
