The sample were 60 high school girls Region 3 Tehran. After selecting subjects and consent, Adult attachment style questionnaire Collins – Read and general self-efficacy questionnaire of Sherer and achievement motivation questionnaire Abdkhodai - school forms for data collection completed by the participants were answered. In this study, Cronbach's alpha coefficient calculated for secure attachment 0/81, avoidant attachment style 0/78 and anxious attachment style 0/85 vary from respectively. Self-Efficacy Questionnaire Sherer Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated for the study was 92/0. Validity achievement motivation using Cronbach's alpha coefficient showed equivalent to 90/0. Data obtained using the version 16 software SPSS, the statistical analysis was performed. The findings suggest that, forecasts based on achievement motivation, self- efficacy (t = 9/40, β = 0/78) and secure attachment style (t = 2/53, β = 0/39) on the surface there α≤0.05. Because of the slope coefficient is calculated in terms of attachment anxiety (t = 0/02, β = -0/01) and avoidance (t= 0/14, β = -0/01) at a significance level α≤ 0.05 is not statistically significant, to predict scores on achievement motivation is not based on their scores on the subscales.
