Abstract

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of psychological well-being in the relationship between resilience and positive communication in school..
research methodology: The statistical population consisted of 2744 female students in the first secondary schools of Behbahan city. From them 338 students were determined by the Krejcie and Morgan table as the statistical sample and selected by multistage cluster sampling. The required data were collected using Conner and Davidson Resiliency Questionnaires (2003), Positive connection at School Betty et al. (2004), and Ryff Psychological Well-being (1989), using  SPSS and Amos software . Structural equation modeling was used to test the relationships between variables in the assumed model.
Findings: The results showed that the fitting indices (absolute, adaptive, and target) of the mediating model of psychological well-being variable (with some modifications) were significantly in good condition. The results also showed that based on the assumed model, the variables of resiliency 0.15 and psychological well-being 0.123 of the statistical dispersion  explained positive communication scores in school. The indirect effect of resilience on positive communication at school with mediating role of psychological well-being was 0.131, which is statistically significant.
