Sumario:The study's purpose was to investigate the mediating role of attachment to peers in the relationship between attachment to parents and the social maturity of student adolescents. The research descriptive method was the correlation. The statistical population consisted of 3553 male and female students at the age of 16-18 years old from zone one in Tehran city based on the Krejcie and Morgan' table and by random selection based on convenience method, 334 people selected as the sample, including the fall. The research data gathered using the revised inventory of attachment to parents and peers by Armsden & Greenberg (1987) and the Social Maturity Scale by Nalini Rao (1973). Data analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient, stepwise multivariate, and hierarchical regression tests. The results showed the relationship between parental attachment and social maturity was significant and conversely, the relationship between peer attachment and social maturity was not significant. The findings also showed that peer attachment had no mediating role between parental attachment and social maturity. Therefore, although peer attachment did not play a mediating role between social maturity and parental attachment, the findings of this study showed that attachment to parents was more crucial in determining adolescents' social maturity than attachment to peers.
