The purpose of this study was to investigate Effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Training on psychological hardiness and parent-child relationships in second-year high school male adolescents of 2018. The research method was experimental with pre-test design and post-test with control group. The statistical population was adolescents of high school in Jafariyeh city of Qom. Using the available sampling method, 24 volunteer students who had low scores in the questionnaires were selected and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The training program was performed in eight 90 - minute sessions for the experimental group and the control group did not receive any training during this period. The research tool was Ahvaz Psychological Hardiness Scale (AHI) and Parent-Child Relationship Scale (PCRS). Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed that Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Training had a significant role in increasing adolescents' psychological hardiness. Also, this program was effective on improving parent-child (father) relationships except for subscale of anger and improving parent-child relationship (mother), except for identity scale (P <0.05).
