Abstract: The main aim of current study is evaluating of relationship between self-monitoring, sensation seeking and mental health with general family function. Statistical sample includes 369 married students of Tabriz universities within the 2008-2009 and the method applied is correlation. In this research, self-monitoring, sensation-seeking and mental health are regarded as predictor variables and family function is regarded as criterion variable. For data collecting, researcher-made questionnaire, Snyder’s self-monitoring; Arnet’s sensation-seeking, Goldberg’s mental health and Family Analysis Device (FAD) are used. In data analysis, Pierson’s correlation and multi-variable regression with enter way by using SPSS software are applied. The results indicate that there is negative and meaningful relationship between family function and sensation seeking, mental disorder and their factors (p<0.05), but there is a positive relationship between family function and self monitoring (p<0.05). The results of multi-variable regression analysis, by using entrance method shows that the rate of prediction of family function by using variables like self monitoring, sensation seeking and mental health is meaningful but the rate of prediction of self-monitoring is more than others.
