The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between body image, fear of negative evaluation and personality types with a tendency to addiction among students. This research was practical in terms of its purpose and descriptive of the type of ¬correlation. The statistical population of this research included all students of Tehran Islamic Azad University, Research Sciences Unit, numbering 48,394, from among whom 330 samples were selected using the targeted and available sampling method. Data collection tools were Weed and Butcher (1992) addiction tendency questionnaires, Cash et al (1997) body image, Watson and Friend (1969) fear of negative evaluation, and Ratos (1987) personality types. Mean and standard deviation were used to describe the data, and Pearson's correlation test and multiple regression were used to infer the findings. The results of the research showed that there is no significant relationship between fear of negative evaluation and tendency to addiction (P > 0.05), but there is a significant positive relationship between body image and personality types and tendency to addiction. Therefore, these two variables in combination with each other predict nearly 15% of the addiction tendency scores (P < 0.01).
