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.
