The study sample consisted of 30 students (15) experimental samples and (15) control group The study used the experimental approach and the study relied on the following tools: The self efficacy scale (prepared by the researcher) and the two measures of subjective well being, the Self-Satisfaction Index (by Edward Dinner, translated by Saffa El-Assar et al.) And the Positive and Negative Sentiments Scale (prepared by David Watson and Lee Anna Clark, and Oak Telegin, translated by Saffa El-Assar et al.) and the counseling program prepared by the researcher, who took 15 sessions. The study found improvement in both self-efficacy and subjective well being of the experimental group in the post-measurement, and the self-efficacy and subjective well being improved in the experimental group than in the control group in the post-measurement, and the improvement in the level of self-efficacy and subjective well being continued in the experimental group in the follow up measurement.
