Abstract :
Objective: The aim was to investigate the efficacy of life skills training on subjective well-being (SWB)
among high school females.
Methods: The population study comprised all female high school of Rafsanjan, Iran, in 2008-2009. Thirty
students with the lowest scores according to the Molavi’s SWB questionnaire were considered eligible. At the
next stage, the required sample of 30 students were selected randomly and divided into two groups of
experimental (15 subjects) and control (15 subjects). Then, life skills training sessions were started for the
experimental group (eight sessions in a 4-week period). Control group did not receive any intervention. The
method of data processing at a descriptive level was through using central tendency indicators, dispersion,
frequency, and percentage. Student’s t-test was used for analysis of independent variables.
Results: The greatest R2 (0.48) was observed for SWB. The R2 coefficients for neurosis, stress-depression,
vitality, and life determination were 0.27, 0.15, 0.20, and 0.09, respectively.
Conclusion: Life skills training showed the greatest effect regarding SWB of the students.
