Since the introduction of the concept of “psychological capital” (consisting of four components: self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resiliency) numerous studies have been conducted in Iran and in the world. Difficulty of reading hundreds of empirical published papers on the aforementioned concept makes it crucial to illustrate a big picture of the research that has been done. This paper, using narrative review method, introduces, categorizes, and evaluates studies that Iranians have conducted on psychological capital. Research has shown that psychological capital is associated with favorite variables in the fields of work (like job satisfaction, organizational citizen behavior, work performance, organizational commitment, and job order), marital (such as marital satisfaction, marital intimacy, and conflict resolution), health (such as decreased depression and anxiety and increased positive psychological functioning such as happiness), education (such as educational achievement, performance, and motive), and religion and spirituality (such as religious coping, spiritual attitude, Islamic life-style, and belief growth). Additionally, two sets of psychological capital-related therapeutic and educational interventions (interventions based on psychological capital to increase performance and various psychological interventions to increase psychological capital) have been proved effective. This paper introduces the concept of psychological capital to the readers and provides a big picture of related empirical studies which shows its desired positive psycho-social outcomes in various domains including work, family, health care, and education.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of positive cognitive behavioral therapy and traditional cognitive behavioral therapy on mental well-being and resilience in adolescents with depressive symptoms. This study was an experimental design with pretest and posttests with the control group. For this purpose, first, a depression scale was performed on male students. Among those students whose depression score was higher than the cutoff point, randomly, 17 were divided into the experimental group 1 (PCBT), 17 were divided into the experimental group 2 (CBT), and 17 were divided into the control group (without intervention). Then, scales of Subjective well-being of students and Connor and Davison resiliency were implemented as pretests. Then, interventions in experimental groups and no intervention in the control group were performed, and finally, the above scales were performed as posttests and follow-up. Results showed that students’ scores in subjective well-being and resiliency with PCBT were significantly higher than CBT and control groups. It seems that; PCBT can be more effective in enhancing positive performance components. It’s necessary that; further research should highlight this issue.

The present study aimed to determine the role of Assertiveness and perfectionism in the flexibility of Action (Resiliency) of employees of a military complex.The present research is a descriptive-cross sectional study. From this, 100 personnel of two military complex, 80 employees were selected by simple random sampling and responded to Gambrill & Richey's Assertiveness Questionnaires (1975), Positive and Negative Perfectionism of Terry-Short et al.
