Exploring the effective factors concerning without breaking the social deviance

ABSTRACT

The primary purpose of present research was to determine which social components influence social deviance. A self-report questionnaire designed to assess factors which influence on social deviance was administrated to 60 male and 60 female. We selected our sample by using stratified random sampling from Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation [IKRF] university students who had attended at Samen-ol-A'emme camp in summer holidays in Mashhad. As follow, we conduct an exploratory factor analysis. Additionally, we compare our explored factors with other authors. Factor analysis of research -made scale [S.D.] yielded evidence for 4 factors which 89.89% of total variance was explained by them. We find four factors, including, a Family and per cohort, b parent-external control, c economic status and d educational-cultural factors which respectively, 24.05%, 22.21%, 22.16% and 21.47% of total variance was explored by them. At the results, socio-cultural variations in attribution of social deviance are discussed, suggestion for direction in future research and cultural polity-makers on the attribution of social deviance are offered
