The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of the positive psychological group counseling program on
stress, depression, and psychological well-being on prisoners. For this reason, we considered the preceding study focusing on the theories of happiness and positive psychology. Based on the positive psychological theory of Seligman, Kang Min-ah and others(2017), the positive psychological group counseling program was reorganized by modifying the contents of the program suitable for prisoners in jail. The program consisted of eight sessions, including a pre - and post-session session, twice a week and 60 minutes per session. The participants conducted a positive psychological group counseling program only for the laboratory population, consisting of 20 inmates in a detention center located in M, South Gyeongsang Province, and 20 others in a controlled group. In order to verify the effectiveness of this study, the stress response measures, depression measures, and psycho-positive positive functional measures were conducted on these subjects. To test the effects of this study, the stress response scale, depression scale, and psychological positive functional scale were administered before and after the test. Cronvach s Alpha was used to test construct validity and reliability of the general characteristics of the subjects, and the homogeneity test between the two groups was analyzed by t test. In order to verify the hypothesis, analyze the covariance analysis(ANCOVA) was conducted. The results of this study are as follows. First, in the present study, we analyzed factors affecting stress reduction, The effect of pre-post stress on the stress of the experimental group and the control group through covariance analysis was F(1, 37)= 56.756, and there was a significant difference at the level of p<.001. Second, the analysis of factors affecting depression showed that the effect of pre-post-depression on experimental group and control group on depression was significant at F(1, 37)= 25.234, p<.001 level There was an effect. Third, the analysis of the factors influencing the improvement of psychological well-being showed that the effect of pre-post-treatment on psychological well-being of experimental group and control group by covariance analysis was [F(1, 37)= 160.609, p<.001].
