Abstract :

The present study aimed at investigating the factors influencing inappropriate students who study at Payam Noor University- Darrehshahr in the city. Variables considered in this study included social- economic, religious, and friends’ position, status and so on. By using the cultural implications, the deviation theories were put forward. The framework of the research, in accord with its topic, used the cultural deviance. The study population consisted of all students, studying at Payam Noor University- Darrehshahr (about 1,600). For this study, a sample of 300 male and female students of Payam Noor University Darrehshahr in1391 was selected randomly. The instrument was a questionnaire and whose validity was examined by calculating Alpha Cronbach Coefficient. Pearson Correlation Analysis was used for statistical analysis, using (SPSS). The results indicated that gender variable and cultural trend deviations do no correlate; but social- economic status, the religion, inappropriate friends, parent reaction, and resistance ranges tended to deviate from cultural implications of the relationship. Also, 347/0% of the variance in the dependent variable in the equation can be predicted by the tendency toward deviant.
