Abstract

The effective research targeted the Effectiveness of a Positive Intervention Style Counseling program in reducing Fear of Academic Failure among middle School of students Evening study, and verifying this through the null hypotheses that the researcher learns. To achieve the goal of the research, it required building two tools: the Fear of Learning Scale, The theory of Lazarus (1991) was relied upon, and (22) items were constructed, distributed over (5) components, and the psychometric gains of the robust measurement were verified on a given statistical analysis (300) students, and its construct validity indicators were calculated, The reliability coefficient using the test and retest method was (0.84). Regarding the extension program, the researcher adopted an experimental design with two experimental and control groups with a pre- and post-test. The researcher built the program according to the positive intervention method based on Seligman’s theory in positive psychology, with (10) sessions containing different titles, and after the end of the program’s application; The researcher applied the post-test (the fear of academic failure scale) to members of the two groups, and the results showed that there were statistically significant differences in favor of the members of the experimental group.
