Aim: The present research aimed to compare the effectiveness of therapy based
on improving quality of life (QoL) and acceptance and commitment therapy
(ACT) on increasing the happiness of female teachers. Method: Research
method was quasi-experimental using pretest, post-test and a three month
follow up with control group. The statistical population included all 800
married female teachers who were working in the City of Abhar Education
Authority in the academic year 2017-18. 260 participants were selected by
systematic random sampling and responded to the Oxford Happiness
Questionnaire )Argyle, Martin, and Krassland, 1989( and then from the 124
who scored below 43, 45 subjects were selected randomly and divided into
three groups, consisting of 15 participants each. One group received ACT
Hayes & Strosahl (2010(; another group received QoL based therapy Frish
(2016) and a third received no therapy at all (the control group). Participants
took part in eight sessions of 90 minutes duration each held once a week. Data
was analyzed using mixed analysis of variance with repeated measures.
Results: Results showed that both therapy programs significantly increased
teachers’ total scores of happiness as well as life satisfaction (F= 94.08),
positive mood (F= 19.19), health efficacy (F= 56.68) and self-esteem (F=
48.55) at the 0.01 level. Follow-up analyses showed that these results remained
stable after three months. No significant difference was found between the two
experimental groups. Conclusion: Since quality of life therapy emphasizes the
promotion of happiness and life satisfaction, and ACT leads to psychological
flexibility and commitment, these two methods can be applied as effective
intervention methods to increase happiness of teachers.
