Emotional maturity is one of the factors of mental health and its predictive factors can help us to better understand and improve this phenomenon. To predict the emotional maturity of female students of senior high school based on mothers' attachment style & self-differentiation in Najaf Abad city. The present study is a descriptive-correlational study and the statistical population consists of high school girl students in Najaf Abad city and their mothers in the academic year 1396-97 from which 317 were selected by cluster sampling. Then, Sing's and Bhargava's emotional maturity questionnaire for girls and Scoren's and Freadleander's self-differentiation questionnaire and Collins and Read's attachment style were distributed to mothers. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression. There is a positive relationship between emotional maturity and self-differentiation and its components (emotional reactivity, I-position, fusion with others, emotional cutoff). And there is a negative relationship between emotional maturity and anxiety attachment. But no relationship was found between secure attachment and avoidance attachment with emotional maturity. The results suggest that efforts should be made to increase the self-differentiation and modification of attachment style of the community in different ways Because these variables are important in enhancing emotional maturity, they are also transmitted in a generational way and will affect the quality of life for future generations.
