      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: In this study, a simple randomization method is used to assign participants to two experimental groups (psychological intervention based on positive psychology) and control groups. The randomization unit in this study is sixth grade elementary school students in Baghmalek city schools who are eligible to enter the study. First, a complete list of volunteer students who have been screened and selected based on entry and exit criteria is prepared. Then, each participant is assigned a unique numerical identification code. These codes are entered into the Random Number Generator software and a random number is generated for each individual. After generating these numbers, the participants are sorted in ascending order based on the value of the random number. Then, the students are assigned to two groups; sequentially, the first 15 people on the list are assigned to the experimental group and the next 15 people are assigned to the control group. With this method, the order of entry into the study, the school they attend, and the researcher's knowledge of the students will not play any role in determining the group. To conceal allocation, the person responsible for recording data and implementing the randomization process in the software will be completely independent of the researcher conducting the intervention and the evaluators of the questionnaires (social adjustment, self-esteem, and self-control) and will not have the possibility of knowing the process of implementing the sessions or interfering with the allocation of subjects. Also, the identification codes of the students will be kept confidential and separate from their identity details; therefore, the possibility of prediction or bias in assigning each participant to a group before the randomization process is implemented is minimized and fully controlled, Blinding description: In order to control bias and improve the internal validity of the study, this study was designed with a double-blind protocol; in this way, the outcome assessor (responsible for administering the social adjustment, self-esteem, and self-control questionnaires) and the data analyst will be kept unaware of the allocation of sixth-grade elementary school students to the experimental and control groups. In this process, the outcome assessor will collect data at all stages of the pretest, posttest, and follow-up, without knowing whether the subjects were members of the positive intervention group or the control group, in order to prevent any bias in the measurement; also, all raw data will be provided to the statistical analyst with anonymous codes (such as groups 1 and 2), and the true nature of the groups will not be revealed until the end of the data analysis process. All allocation steps will be performed by an independent person from the research team, and the decoding of the allocation codes will only be done after the final completion of the statistical analyses.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The intervention sessions based on positive psychology will be based on the psychological package designed by Ebrahimi (1402). The sessions of this intervention will be implemented in 8 60-minute sessions (one session per week) in a group for the experimental group of sixth grade elementary school students. Positive psychology is an approach that aims to identify and develop capabilities, cultivate positive emotions, and create a hopeful outlook on life, helping students to effectively manage their reactions to stressful academic and social situations by focusing on internal resources, promoting self-acceptance, and improving the quality of interpersonal communication. This approach has main educational themes that lead to the promotion of social adaptation, self-esteem, and improved self-control; these themes include: introducing and familiarizing with positive psychology, establishing a therapeutic relationship and mutual trust, introducing oneself, and implementing mindfulness exercises in the first session; Identifying personal strengths, implementing activities to identify capabilities and sharing them with the group in the second session; increasing the level of hope and strengthening belief in a positive future in the third session; cultivating happiness, enjoying the present moment, increasing the feeling of vitality and practicing mindful enjoyment in the fourth session; explaining the meaning of life and identifying sources of purpose and value in the fifth session; developing positive relationships and improving social relationships and interactions with peers in the sixth session; strengthening self-efficacy, promoting self-esteem and increasing belief in individual abilities in the seventh session; and finally, summarizing, consolidating learning and writing a personal action plan in the eighth session. The main emphasis of this program is to direct students' attention from negative thoughts and experiences to recognizing potential capabilities, promoting internal control and shaping constructive social interactions. Intervention 2: Control group: hey do not receive any intervention or treatment.</i_freetext>
