The collected data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS softwars. Regression results show that two relative deprivation variables (Beta = 0.12) and individuality (Beta = 0.20) were introduced. The value of T for individuality is (T = 3/76) and for the relative deprivation rate (T = 2.38). Together, these two variables could explain the amount of 0.24 of the internal variation of the degree of apathy. The results of the structural equation model (AMOS) show that the value of P-value for the four variables (relative deprivation with the value of 0.949, individuality with the value of 0.260, the degree of education with the value of 0.210 and the variable duration of residence with the amount of standard regression coefficient is equal to 0.255 at the error level less than 0.05; which shows that the effect of these variables on the dependent variable is significant. The results are based on the model fit of the model for RMR of 0.233, the RMSEA index is 0.046, the CMIN / DF index is 2.012 and the CFI and PCFI indices with the values of 0.943 and 0.767 in acceptable model are approved.
