The family is the main factor of socialization in any society. As children get older, the role of peers becomes more prominent, and along with these two important factors, the media and religious actors provide the ground for socialization. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of socialization factors and the tendency to risky behaviors among Kashani citizens based on the approach of social learning theory. The research method used in the present study was a survey and the statistical sample of the study was 552 citizens of Kashan based on the Cochran's formula and selected as the final sample by possible sampling method commensurate with the volume.The reliability of the questionnaire was based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient and its validity was based on the opinions of academic experts. Pearson correlation test and paired t-test were used to perform inferential analysis and measure the relationship between independent and dependent variables using SPSS 25 software. The findings of the study indicate that the tendency of citizens to high-risk behaviors was moderate and boys were more inclined to high-risk behaviors than girls. Also, the test results of hypotheses between socialization factors including family factor, peer relationship and media vulnerability with high-risk behaviors were significant and positive, and age and religiosity variables had a significant and inverse relationship, and finally socio-economic status variable with high-risk behaviors. It has nothing to do with it, the independent variables explained a total of 33% of the changes in the variable of risky behaviors.
