The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the strengths coaching programs on life satisfaction. Two strengths coaching programs were developed: one was the strength recognition program and the other was strength recognition and utilization program. The experimental group 1 consisted of strength recognition group and the experimental group 2 consisted of strength recognition and utilization group. The main results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the strength coaching programs had positive effects on the adolescents’ life satisfaction. Second, although the strength recognition program improved the life satisfaction, it was found that the strength recognition and utilization program had more positive effects on life satisfaction than the strength recognition only group. In this study, two strength coaching programs were conducted to examine the effects of the coaching program on the satisfaction of the youth with scientific methods. By directly comparing the effects of the strength recognition group, the strength recognition and utilization group, and the control group, it could be academically implied that strengths recognition as well as strength utilization had differential effects on life satisfaction.
