Background: Given the importance of problem-solving skills and ambiguity tolerance in students, the use of psychotherapy interventions can help improve these skills. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of schema therapy and positive psychotherapy based on promoting resilience on problem-solving skills and ambiguity tolerance in technical-vocational students. Methods: The present research is semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design. The statistical population were girl students in the second year of high school referred to education and training counseling centers (due to academic failure) in technical-vocational fields in District 6 of Mashhad. The number of 45 people was randomly selected and assigned in three groups of experimental and control (15 people in each group). The first experimental group received schema therapy, the second group received positive psychotherapy based on promoting resilience, and the third group did not receive any therapy. The Peterson's Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI) and McLain Ambiguity Tolerance Scale–I (MSTAT-II) were used. The data were analyzed using SPSS 24 software and analysis of covariance. Results: The results showed that the two methods of schema therapy and positive psychotherapy based on promoting resilience have a significant effect on problem-solving skills and ambiguity tolerance in technical-vocational students (P<0.05), while, there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of two therapy methods on problem-solving skills and ambiguity tolerance of students (P>0.05). Conclusion: According to the results, both schema therapy methods and positive psychotherapy based on promoting resilience can be used to improve the level of problem-solving skills and ambiguity tolerance in technical-vocational students.
