Popis: people move to the way that they look. Attitudes are important role on the people's life. This paper examines how student's modernist sociopolitical attitudes may be influenced by their sensation seeking and socioeconomic status. This study performed by using survey method. The population of study consisted of all Isfahan University's students. A number of 360 students were selected as the participants using quota sampling method. Data analysis was done using SPSS and Amos software. The results showed that the mean score of modernist sociopolitical attitudes among students was above average. The result of a two-variate regression shows that there is a positive relationship between the two independent variables (sensation seeking and sociopolitical status) and student's modernist sociopolitical attitudes. In the other words, as the amount of sensation seeking and socioeconomic status increase, the amount of modernist attitudes among the students also increases. The result of multivariate analysis shows that there is significant correlation between sensation seeking and student's modernist sociopolitical attitudes. The correlation obtained a Beta standardized coefficient of 0.32 with (sig = 000). The value of R square shows that independent variables account for 0/11 of changes in student's modernist sociopolitical attitudes. The result of the fit indices of the structural equation modeling shows that, the model has goodness of fit. Model fit indices such as CMIN/DF ratio, IFI, NFI, CFI, PCFI, RMSEA, were inspected. The fit indices indicate that the collected data well confirmed the developed model.
