        The primary aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of tea-ching coping skills according to CBT based on positive psychology on hope of the students with adjustment problems. This experimental study was conducted in Sari City (Iran) in 2014-2015 among female students who were at the age of 14-15 and had adjustment problems. Introduced by teachers, through giving tests and screening, 40 students were selected by simple random sampling and were placed in the experimental and control groups by random arrangement. In the pre-test, all participants completed Snyder Hope Questionnaire (SHQ). The students in the experimental group receiv-ed coping skills training according to CBTbased on positive psychology (Freedenberg, 2010b) for 14 sessions (two sessions per week, 1.5 hour each), while the control group re-mained on the waiting list. Then, both groups were assessed once more. Analysis of covari-ance demonstrated that after controlling for the effect of pre-test, there was a significant dif-ference in hope between experimental and con-trol groups at post-test.
