Abstract
This study aims to investigate the relationship between wisdom and psychological well-being and academic buoyancy of students. This is a correlation study. The statistical population of this research includes all high school Secondary students of Khusf town, and 317 students were selected through cluster random sampling method. Research tools employed include Wisdom Scale of Ardelt, psychological well-being scale of Ryff and academic buoyancy of Dehqanizadeh and Hussein Chari. For analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were adopted. Results showed that significant and positive relationship between wisdom and academic buoyancy and psychological well-being exist. The reflective and emotional components of wisdom predicted the level of psychological well-being, and cognitive and reflective components predicted the level of academic buoyancy. Thus, it can be concluded that wisdom is a reliable anticipator for academic buoyancy and psychological well-being between students, and wiser students have higher levels of academic buoyancy and psychological well-being.

Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of solution- focused group counseling on academic buoyancy and academic thriving of female students. The research method was quasi-experimental and pre-test-post-test-follow up with control group design. The population of this research was made up of all female students of the first secondary school in Isfahan in the academic year of 1400-1401. In order to select the participants, 30 students were selected with multi-stage randomly method and replaced randomly in two experimental (15) and control (15) groups. A pre-test was implemented for both groups. Solution-focused group counseling was held for the experimental group in 8 sessions of 90 minutes. At the end of the counseling, a post-test was implemented and a follow-up test was taken from both groups. To measure academic buoyancy and academic thriving, Dehghanizadeh, and Hossienchari (2012) and Schreiner et al. (2009) academic thriving questionnaires were used, respectively. The data were analyzed using the statistical method of multivariate analysis of covariance, using SPSS-26 software. The findings showed that the research hypothesis based on the effectiveness of Solution-focused group counseling on academic buoyancy and academic thriving has been confirmed (P<0/05) and the students of the experimental group had a significant increase in academic buoyancy and academic thriving compared to the students of the control group in the post-test and follow up phase. (P<0/05). Also, the results of the follow-up phase showed that these changes were stable. Therefore, it can be concluded that solution- focused group counseling is effective for academic buoyancy and academic thriving. Educational psychologists and counselors can use solution-focused group counseling as an educational, interventional and preventive strategy to promote mental health and improve students' academic performance
