The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of maladaptation and exaggeration on self-security of women and girls over 15 years old in Tehran. The research is applied in terms of purpose and quantitative and survey method. The statistical population includes women and girls over 15 years of age in Tehran city with 899 630 3 persons. Using Cochran formula, the sample size was 600 and the samples were selected in several stages. The researcher-made questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods and structural equation modeling. Hijab with a standard path coefficient of 0.414 and exemplar with a standard path coefficient of 0.372 had a significant effect on personal insecurity. The study of the effect of independent variable on the dimensions of dependent variable showed that exaggeration and maladaptation affect the feeling of intellectual, physical, emotional and financial insecurity.
