The theoretical framework of the study was prepared by applying the theories of social capital theorists like Putnam, Fukuyama, Coleman and Bourdiou, and by investigating some of the ideas concerning the sense of security, such as the theories of Durkheim, Giddens, Parsons, Horney and Forum. Social trust, social relationships and social participation were three indicators identified as the indicators of social capital, and four hypotheses were developed on this basis. This is a survey research that used questionnaires to examine the research sample comprising of 369 high school female students from Region 4 of Tehran; and we used stratified sampling, commensurate with the size of the selected sample. The results revealed that the relationship between social capital and sense of security among female students was direct and significant, meaning that the more social capital students have, the more they feel secure. It was shown that social participation had a significant positive correlation with the sense of security; however, social relationship had a significant relation with the sense of security and it was revealed that students with less social interaction feel more secure. The results showed that social trust among female students had no significant relationship with their sense of security and this hypothesis was not confirmed.

The current paper is a report of a research on the level of religiosity and sense of security among the female high-school and pre-university students in Tehran. In this scientific work, one main hypothesis and four sub-hypotheses were formulated using the integrated theories of religiosity and sense of security. The hypothesis and sub-hypotheses were tested through survey research, using a researcher-made questionnaire. The Statistical population consisted of 400 students who were selected using multistage cluster sampling. The results indicated that there was a significant inverse relationship between religiosity and sense of security among female students. In other words, the more religious the students were, the less sense of security they had. Moreover, each of the dimensions of religiosity (ritual, experiential, ideological, and consequential) had a significant inverse relationship with the sense of security. In general, all of the hypotheses were confirmed by reverse.
