Survey methods and questionnaires are respectively adopted as the Research Method and Research implements throughout the study. Research population of this study included ۱۰۸۳۰ high school students in the city of Boukan in ۲۰۲۰-۲۱ academic year, of which ۵۰۰ were selected by Cochran's formula and sampled by random stratification method, proportional to volume. The results showed that the variables of self-control and religiousness along with the contextual factors of parents’ education, parents' occupation, place of birth, number of family members remained in the model and variables such as gender and residence are omitted out of the model.
