The statistical population consisted of all married women referring to health centers in District 3 of Tehran. A total of 260 people were selected as samples through the convenience method. Data were collected using the basic psychological needs scale-Guardia and Deci and Ryan (2000), Katelin and Epstein (1992) basic beliefs, and psychological capital by Luthans et al. (2007). The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and analyzed by SPSS software. The result of correlation coefficient and multivariate regression showed that basic beliefs and basic psychological needs had a positive and significant relationship with the psychological capital of married women. The results of regression analysis showed that the variable of basic beliefs (p <0.01) and basic psychological needs (p <0.01) have the potential for positive and significant prediction of the psychological capital of married women.
