Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the prediction of social responsibility based on family performance in female students of Qom University. This research is applied in terms of objectives and descriptive in terms of data collection method. The statistical population included 4687 female students of Qom University, 354 of whom were selected by stratified random sampling through Morgan table. Data were collected using the standard Skate, Smith and Bakers (2004) Social Responsibility Questionnaire and the Epstein, Baldwin and Bishab (1950) family performance questionnaires, whose reliability was 0.734 and 0.914 based on Cronbach's alpha, respectively. The face and content validity of the questionnaires have been confirmed in various studies. In addition to descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov inferential tests, Pearson correlation and regression tests were used to analyze the data. Findings showed that 7.7% of the variance of social responsibility can be explained by family performance. Also, according to studies, family performance predicts social responsibility in female students of Qom University. Thus, in order to achieve the benefits of responsibility at the community level, it seems necessary to pay attention to the performance of students' families, which are effective factors in national development.
