The research design was pre-test and post-test with control group. The Hope Questionnaire (Schneider Et al 1991) was used to measure hope. The method of sampling was voluntary. First the pre-test was conducted on 45 volunteers. They were then randomly assigned to three groups and, two groups were randomly assigned to experimental group 1 and 2 and the other group considered as control group. Then, the two experimental groups received behavioral activation therapy and psychological capital training, respectively; but the control group not received intervention. After the intervention sessions, post-test was administered for all three groups (38 persons in total). The results of analysis of covariance showed significant difference between the post-test hope scores of the groups (P=0.008). Paired comparisons showed that both psychological capital training and behavioral activation therapy significantly have increased hope as compared with the control group (P = 0.003 and P = 0.019 respectively), but the two intervention groups did not differ significantly in hope scores. The findings suggest that both psychological capital training and behavioral activation therapy can be used for increasing the hope in dprmetory students. %U https://jwdp.ut.ac.ir/article_78680_bab8f21eca575b150e9186cc4a7b906b.pdf
