This scale is composed of 5 items. The Cronbach's alpha score of social trust scale was 0.631 in the present Study. Feeling of insecurity was measured by the Cops & Pleysier (2011) fear of crime scale. This scale is composed of 8 items. The Cronbach's alpha score of fear of crime scale was 0.767 in the present Study. Data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regressions. Discussion of Results & Conclusions The mean of age was 35 (SD = 8.5) years, 68.3% girl and 31.7% boy. The mean of happiness was 99 (SD = 13.62). Correlations between happiness and independent variables showed that happiness was in significantly positive relations with social networks (r = 0.236, P<0.01), social trust (r = 0.17, P<0.01), selfesteem (r = 0.546, P<0.01), and in significantly negative relations with feeling of insecurity (r =-0.114, P<0.01), and relative deprivation (r =-0.478, P<0.01). The stepwise multiple regressions were conducted to determine which of the five independent variables (social networks, social trust, feeling of insecurity, selfesteem and relative deprivation) were significant predictors of happiness. Regression results indicated an overall model with four of the five variables (selfesteem, relative deprivation, social trust and social networks) as significantly contributing to the final model. Feeling of insecurity was an insignificant predictor. Overall, this study examined the influence of social and psychological factors on adolescent happiness in Ahwaz. The findings revealed that correlation between all independent variables with happiness as dependent variable was confirmed. According to results social networks significantly and positively correlated with happiness. This result is consistent with Veenhoven's, Berk's and Putnam's views. The results also showed that direct correlation between social trust and happiness existed. This result is consistent with Giddens's, Bourdieu's and Putnam's view. The findings suggest that self-worth and selfesteem have a significant impact on students' happiness, so it is necessary to pay special attention to it. In sum, self-esteem, relative deprivation, social trust and social networks are significant predictors explaining approximately 40 % of the total variance of the happiness variable in this study
