The statistical population of the research was all male students of the first secondary school in Kermanshah city in the academic year 2020-2021. Forty students were selected by purposive sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The research tools included the latest validated version of the Academic Vitality Questionnaire (Dehghani Zadeh and Hossein Chari, 2012) and the Achievement Motivation Questionnaire (Hermans, 1970). The experimental group received 10 90-minute sessions of positive thinking; while the control group did not receive any intervention and received regular school education. The research data was analyzed by the method of analysis of variance with repeated measurements and SPSS 21 software.
