The present paper, within the framework of social psychology, attempts to study the relationship between social security and life satisfaction. This is a correlational research that first focuses on theoretical concepts and reviews the findings of previous experiments through a library study. In the next part, through a survey (questionnaire) the data were collected from the population of research (students at Islamic Azad University, Tehran North Branch); there were 35 participants in the study, ranging from 17 to 49 years of age; they were selected from among 4350 students using Kukran formula. The results of the study indicate that there is a strong correlation (61%) between social security and life satisfaction in the population of the study. Furthermore, we examined differing aspects of social security (occupational, economic, political, judicial, and security resulting from health and welfare services) and it was revealed that job security (with the regression coefficient of 31%) and economic security (with the regression coefficient of 23%) have the highest impact on life satisfaction. Thus, given the importance of social security and its relationship with life satisfaction, we should look for ways to strengthen social security and this requires attention to this concept and its various aspects on the part of people and authorities.
