Introduction: The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of life skills training on self-monitoring, spiritual health, and academic optimism.
Methods: The research method was pretest-posttest with control group. The statistical population of the study was all male and female students of secondary school in Karaj in the school year of 99-98. 100 students (50 girls and 50 boys) were selected using cluster sampling method. Spiritual, self-monitoring, and academic optimism responded. Then, based on the questionnaire scores, 50 of those who scored lower on the cut-off point in the spiritual health, academic optimism and self-monitoring questionnaire were selected as the sample of the study and randomly divided into two control groups (n = 25) and Experiments (n = 25) were inserted. The experimental group received eight 90-minute sessions of life skills training. But the control group did not receive the training. After the training, data analysis was done using SPSS22 software and covariance analysis.
Results: The results showed that life skills training increased students' self-supervision (p> 0.001), spiritual health (p> 0.001) and academic optimism (p> 0.001).
