1983). In order to analyze data, anova, Tukey test, regression analysis and correlation analysis were employed. Results of the study indicated that there was a significant effect of social skills level on depression and students with more positive social behaviors had lower levels of depression,
whereas students with negative social behaviors suffered from higher levels of depression. a significant negative relationship between the students' positive social behaviors and depression (r = -.25, p < .001), and a positive relationship between negative social behaviors
