Abstract
Background and objectives: regarding deep cultural changes and lifestyle most of the people lack the needed ability to cope with life’s issues and problems which has made them vulnerable. So the persons should have the ability to face with stress. This ability includes recognizing different stresses of the life and their influence on family and persons. The purpose of the present research is to investigate the relationship between attachment styles and strategies to face with stress and academic performance of female high school students. Method: the present research is nonexperimental but of a correlational type. Two standard and normalized questionnaires including teens’ attachment to parents and peers by Greenberg and facing with stressful situations by Kalzbick were used to gather data. Final first term scores were used as academic performance. Descriptive (frequency, percentage and mean) and inferential statistics (regression) were used to analyze data. research hypotheses were supported and the results showed that parents’ attachment styles are meaningful in explaining students’ academic performance (P<0.005). Among attachment style sub-scales, trusting to parents, relationship with parents, alienation feeling with parents and relationship with peers have positive additive effect on students’ academic performance so that with increase of these sub-scales, students’ average mean increased too. The relationship of peers trusting with students’ academic performance is negative and decreasing so that with the increase of this sub-scale, students’ average means declines. There fond a meaningful relationship between coping with stress strategies and students’ academic performance. Stress coping strategies had different effect on students’ academic performance. Problem based strategies had positive and additive effect so that with the increase of this sub-scale, students’ average mean increased too.
