Oxford Happiness, Coopers-Smith Self Esteem and Wax social support questioners were used to obtain the needed data. The results of analysis of the data that was done in two levels of descriptive (means, standard deviation, correlation coefficient) and deductive (multi parameters regression) shows that a positive meaningful relation exists between self esteem and happiness at less than 0.001 level. A positive meaningful relation at less than 0.01 levels exists between self esteem and the small scale as well as the number of total social support.
