Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine relationship between happiness, self esteem and received social support in high school student. 150 eight grade girl students were selected among the entire population of 2008-2009 students in the city of Tehran using multi stage cluster method. 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. Furthermore the linear regression equation showed that to predict happiness self esteem and social support (in family scale) are important in the same order.
