This study was aimed to investigate the relationship of cognitive abilities and mindfulness with teacher wisdom with mediating positive emotions. The method of this study was descriptive-correlation.The population included 600 primary school teachers. For this purpose, 375 elementary teacher were selected using simple random sampling method. They completed Nejati (2013) Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire, Brown & Ryan (2003) Mindfulness Questionnaire, Chen (2016) Positive Emotions Questionnaire and Ardlet (2003) Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale. After collecting the data, structural equation modelling was used to test the proposed model and hypothesis as well. The results showed that the proposed model has good fit (NFI = 0/91 & SRMR = 0/068). The results of analyzes showed that cognitive abilities, mindfulness and positive emotions have a significant positive effect on wisdom.
