A B S T R A C T This study aimed to evaluate and compare training metacognitive skills and positive thinking strategies in terms of happiness promotion among pregnant women in Bushehr. The statistical population included 200 pregnant women who attended health centers in Bushehr, among which 80 pregnant women were randomly selected and assigned into groups of experimental and control. Oxford Happiness Questionnaire was used as a research tool. In this experimental study, pretest - posttest was used for the control group. After the random selection of experimental and control groups, pre-test was conducted, then experimental intervention 1 (training metacognitive skills) and experimental intervention 2 (training positive thinking strategies) were provided to experimental groups and posttest was conducted after completion of training programs. For data analysis, multivariate analysis of covariance showed that there is a significant difference between training metacognitive skills and positive thinking strategies in terms of happiness promotion in pregnant women in Bushehr (p<0.01). So, training metacognitive skills and positive thinking strategies is effective on happiness promotion. Keywords: Happiness, Metacognitive skills, Positive Thinking Strategies, Pregnant Women. INTRODUCTION Happiness is a sense of joy and a sense of continuity of life happily. The feeling is not achieved by obtaining too much and outstanding things, but instead, little pleasures can make us happier 1. According to the World Health Organization, the concept of health is the existence of aspects of psychological and social well-being. The concept of psychological well-being is often used synonymously with the concept of happiness and involves a variety of cognitive and emotional factors 2. Training positive thinking strategies can be effective on controlling and changing negative or false thoughts and can turn overwhelming anxiety and fear to hope and positive efforts for improvement so that in this way people can use their *.

2 Comparison of the Effectiveness of Training Metacognitive Skills and energy for wise interactions and positive emotions, not for irrational and wrong thoughts, and take the opportunity to develop their mental growth 3. Metacognitive skills have great effects on emotional disorders, especially anxiety and depression. Happiness is one of the important areas which has received considerable attention in positive psychology research. The prevalence of depression in Iranian pregnant women is between 25% and 46.5% 4. Depression and decreased happiness during pregnancy can bring much harm to pregnant women and their children 5. Metacognitive skills are referred to coordinate and manage strategies employed for thinking and problem solving through the use of self-awareness. Due to the prevalence of decreased happiness in pregnant women, lack of its recognition and the great effects it has on mother, baby, mother-child relationship and even couple s relationship and also given that psychological factors contribute greatly to this disorder, their prevention and treatment are very necessary 6. Therefore, this research attempts to investigate the effectiveness of training metacognitive skills and positive thinking strategies to promote happiness. The main research question is whether training metacognitive skills and positive thinking strategies is effective to promote happiness in pregnant women. METHODOLOGY This was a causal-comparative study in which Oxford Happiness Questionnaire was used. Oxford Happiness Questionnaire has 29 items and measures the amount of individual happiness. The test consists of 29 multiplechoice items that each item is scored as follows: (A) 0, (B) 1, (C) 2 and (D) 3. The highest score that the subjects can get in this comparison is 87 representing the highest happiness and the lowest score is zero indicating the subjects dissatisfaction of life and depression. The normal score of this test is between 40 and 42. First, pregnant women who attended health centers in Bushehr were selected and randomly assigned into four groups (two experimental groups and two control groups). Pretest was conducted for four groups (by Oxford Happiness Test) before implementing training positive thinking strategies and metacognitive skills. Experimental groups, each consisting of 20 pregnant women, were divided into two groups: the experimental group (1) was trained in 10 sessions for positive thinking strategies (twice a week), each session about 60 minutes, the experimental group (2) was trained in 10 sessions for metacognitive skills (twice a week), each session about 60 minutes. At the end of sessions, posttest was conducted for the four groups. A summary of training sessions for positive thinking strategies and metacognitive skills is presented in the following research proposal diagram. Table 1.

The effect is between 1.51 and 7.50 increase unit. CONCLUSION Comparison between the groups in terms of happiness show that there is a significant difference between metacognitive experiment group and positive thinking experimental group and control groups 1 and 2 with confidence level 99%. A significant difference was also observed in terms of happiness between positive thinking experimental group and metacognitive experimental group and control groups 1 and 2. But no significant difference was found in terms of happiness between control groups 1 and 2.
7 Baharestani et al., 2015 Other studies also found that positive thinking people evaluate their skills properly, especially on their job, and remember positive events more than negative ones and perform better for decision-making. Training positive thinking strategies can be effective on controlling and changing negative or false thoughts and can turn overwhelming anxiety and fear to hope and positive efforts for improvement so that in this way people can use their energy for wise interactions and positive emotions, not for irrational and wrong thoughts, and take the opportunity to develop their mental growth. These trainings seem to be very useful for people to strengthen and improve their positive communication with themselves, positive relationships with others and life (the world) and also increase their self-esteem and help them to better understand themselves and be curious about themselves and the world. The effect of training metacognitive skills is clearly consistent with the view that direct modification of attentional processes can lead to simultaneous changes in dysfunctional beliefs. The effect is clearly related to the dynamic view of cognition in psychological disorders. Several mechanisms may underlie the clinical effectiveness of attention control training, including decreased self-focused attention, discontinued worry and rumination-based processing strategies, increased executive control over processing and attention and process reinforcement with metacognitive method. The results showed that the effect of training metacognitive skills is significant on happiness promotion and 53.5% of happiness promotion variance can be explained by training metacognitive skills. So the effect size of training metacognitive skills is significant on happiness promotion, and this hypothesis was confirmed and in terms of happiness a significant difference was observed between experimental and control groups. The results showed that the effect of training positive thinking strategies is significant on happiness promotion after adjusting the effect of pretest and 20.1% of happiness promotion variance can be explained by training positive thinking strategies. So, it can be concluded that the effect size of training positive thinking strategies is significant on happiness promotion. Comparisons between groups showed that there is a significant difference between experimental and control groups in terms of happiness and the hypothesis was confirmed. Studies show that for increasing happiness various variables are effective, such as environmental conditions, individual s genetic structure, and the development of behaviors that lead to more interactions in social life. Identification and use of internal capacities and positive thinking are some strategies that successfully increase happiness permanently. October,
8 Comparison of the Effectiveness of Training Metacognitive Skills and Positive thinking people evaluate their skills properly, especially on their job, and remember positive events more than negative ones and perform better for decision-making, they are optimistic, hopeful, healthier and happier, and their immune systems work better. They deal better with stress using the most effective coping strategies, re-evaluating and problem solving. They also actively avoid stressful life events and build better social support networks around themselves. They have healthier life styles which protect them against disease, and in the case of disease they will follow medical advice better. REFERENCES 1.
