This article studies the impact of social security on life style. It is assumed that life style is categorized into two mandatory and voluntary forms based on two basic aspects: personal choice / social necessity and covert / overt representation of behaviors. Social security index was also based on two aspects; occupational security and prestige security. This is a survey research and the sample of study includes 2160 over 25 year old people living in Tehran. They were chosen by cluster sampling method using Cochran formula. The "t" test was used for analyzing the data. Findings show that people with higher social security belong to voluntary life style and people with less social security have mandatory life style. People with less occupational security organize their life styles under social necessities and pressures. Also, people with less prestige security severely reject the overt behaviors and tend to covert behaviors. Thus, voluntary life style is generally a function of social security and aspects of social security have significant effect on aspects of voluntary life style.
