The present study was conducted by a post-event method to investigate the relationship between psychological capital and quality of life in school with regard to the type of schools studied. The statistical population of the study is the second-year high school students of Sanandaj who had registered in the academic year 2018-2019. Estimation of sample size using Cochran's formula for the community of gifted students was equal to 118 and for normal students was equal to 137 people who were selected by cluster sampling. The Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) and Quality of Life Questionnaire at Ainley & Bourke School (1992) were used to collect data. The results of the independent group t-test and multivariate analysis of variance showed that there is no significant difference between gifted and normal students on the whole scale of psychological capital, but there is a significant difference in terms of the hope component. There was also a significant difference between gifted and normal school students in the whole scale of school quality of life and opportunity subcomponent. Also, based on the calculated beta coefficients, it can be concluded that the relationship between the whole scale of psychological capital and the hope component with the quality of school life is stronger among students of ordinary schools than in gifted schools.

The aim of this research was studing and comparing the effectiveness of real therapy and positive psychotherapy on reducing perfectionism and academic stress. The research was a quasi –experimental study along with selecting and assigning the subjects randomly in experimental group and control group with pre-test and post-test. Statistical universe included all gifted girl students of second grade of high school in Khorramabad city that all students filled out all the questionaires of perfectionism and academic stress using census method. Then 45 students who got the highest marks compared to others were selected and placed randomly in experimental and control groups. The first experimental group were subjected to real therapy for 8 sessions and the second group were also subjected to positive psychotherap for 8 sessions, but the control group didn't receive any interventions during this period of time. Data were analyzed using unilateral covariance analysis test. Results showed that performing the real therapy and positive psychotherapy interventions led to meaningful reduction of perfectionism and academic stress of the subjects of experimental groups. the positive psychotherapy had more effect on reducing academic stress, but in perfectionism variable, there wasn't any meaningful diference between these two therapies and the effect of above mentioned therapies in reducing perfectionism was the same. Based on the results, the methods of positive psychotherapy and real therapy can be used to reduce perfectionism and academic stress.
