The statistical population consists of 8143 female students. Applying the rule of Tupachenig and Fidel, the sample size was calculated to be 110, sampled by multistage clustering.

The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used to examine normality of the distribution, and the Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression test were used applying SPSS. The data showed that there was a significant relationship between self-efficacy and self-regulation and happiness among female students of secondary high schools (p<0.01) and that there was a significant relationship between the self-efficacy and self-regulation variables (p<0.01). Results showed that happiness can be predicted based on self-efficacy and self-regulation among female students of secondary high-schools in Hamedan.
