In other words, this training course could reduce psychological distress more than enhancing psychological well-being. Another finding of t-test procedure regarding psychological hardiness scale showed that the means of pretest and posttest scores were not significantly different (P>0.005, t= -1.48). In other words, the training course could not be effective on the promotion of psychological hardiness.

The statistical population of the present study included all male students studying in the second year of high schools in Tehran in the academic year 1399-1400 and 385 people were selected by available sampling method and given to motived strategies learning questiones (MSLQ) of Pintrich and Degroot (1990), McMaster model of family functioning (MMFF) of the Epstein et al., (1983), the school climate of Zullig et al., (1982), and academic self-efficacy of Gafoor and Ashraf (2007), responded.
Results: The results showed that the hypothetical model of the research had a good fit with some modifications (GFI =.907, NFI =.901, CFI =.929, cmin / df = 2.150, RMSEA =.059). Also, the direct path coefficients between family functioning and school climate with academic self-regulation were significant, but the direct path coefficient between psychological hardiness and academic self-regulation was not significant.
