       The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between identity dimensions and attachment style with a tendency towards drug abuse. The research method of this study was the ex post facto. In this study, the population of all high school students in the west province included 9504 participants out of whom, 384 were selected through cluster sampling. A questionnaire was used to measure the Identity Dimensions (AIQ-IV) Chick et al, Adult Attachment Scale (RAAS) Collins & Reid and tendency of drug abuse test (Golparvar). The validity of Identity Dimensions Questionnaire in terms of personal identity was 0.80 to 0.83, relation identity from 0.82 to 0.90, social identity from 0.80 to 0.82 and collective identity from 0.67 to 0.77. The attachment style validity in three sub-scales the social credit; dependence and anxiety were respectively 0.68, 0.71, and 0.52. The questionnaire distinguished three attachment styles: security, anxiety and avoidance. The validity test of the inclination towards drug abuse was estimated to be 0.89. In order to interpret the results, ‘multivariate regression’ test was used. The results showed that there was a relationship (P<0.05) between the social identity and the communication identity on the one hand, and drug abuse on the other. Also, among the subscales of attachment style, there was a relationship between drug abuse and dependence (P<0.05). Manuscript profile
