Abstract :
Besides the incidence and quantity of law-aversion attitudes and behaviors of university students, definitely it is a problem which necessitatesmore serious consideration. This study seeks to determine the extent of law-aversion among the study population and what sociological factors are related to law-aversion. This research using survey and questionnaire in a sample size as 400 students in Tehran universities examined the variable and affecting factors. The findings showed that the rate of law-aversion among Tehran students is medium to low. While the average of the indicators of total religiosity, feeling of relative deprivation and feeling of inequality indicate an above-average level of these indicators among students. The results indicate that the relationship between the index of total religiosity and all its dimensions with law-aversion is relatively weak and inverse; That is, as students' religiosity increases, so does their law-aversion. Regarding the variable of relative deprivation, relationships are significant only in the individual dimension of deprivation and law-aversion. In fact, the increase in the individual dimension of the feeling of relative deprivation is in line with the increase in law-aversion among students, and that the relationship between feelings of inequality and law-aversion has not been significant. Finally, in the case of contextual variables, educational attainment and younger ages were more vulnerable. The results also suggest that policies should focus mainly on lower education and younger students.
