Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify individual and family factors affecting the vandalism behavior of adolescent high school students.Methodology: The research method was descriptive-correlational and the size of the population was 27,519 first and second grade high school students in District 2 of Rasht (12,977 girls and 14,542 boys) from 2017 to 2018. According to Morgan's table, 377 samples were selected by simple random sampling method and the questionnaire was researcher-made. The reliability of individual, family and vandalism questions was calculated by Cronbach's alpha test as 0.85, 0.894 and 0.873 and its validity was calculated as -0.21, 0.39, and -0.27 by HTMT method. Spearman correlation coefficient and multivariate regression with Spss software were used for analysis.Findings: The constant value of B individual questions was positive for all questions of vandalism and its statistical significance with t test and α = 0.05 showed that the value of P value is less than the value of α = 0.05. However, most of the coefficients β1 to β9 of vandalism questions are negative and indicate a reduction of destructive behaviors by reducing individual problems. Also, the constant value of B family questions was positive for vandalism questions and the statistical significance of t-test showed that the value of P value was less than α = 0.05 in all cases. But most of the coefficients β1 to β16 are effective in negative destructive behavior and indicate a decrease in vandalism in exchange for reducing the effect of family problems.Conclusion: As a result, in order to reduce vandalism, solving individual and family problems should be prioritized in order to reduce vandalism.
