For this reason, 387 male students of second grade of high school were chosen through cluster sampling method and completed a survey consisted of Parent Peers Attachment Inventory (IPPA) and School connection Scale (SCS). The results of stepwise regression show predicting of school connectedness based on parent and peers attachment. Among attachment subscales, communication whit peers and parent have the most power to predict school connectedness. The relationship between Peers alienation and parent alienation with school connectedness is significantly negative.In general, secure attachment to parent and peers could be considered as a factor for school connectedness.
