The purpose of the present study was to investigate the structural model of the relationship between satisfying basic psychological needs, adjustment, and the sense of connectedness with School in high school students in Mashhad. The sample consisted of 320 high school students in Mashhad who were selected by multistage sampling. Basic Need Satisfaction in Relationships scale (La Guardia, Ryan, Couchman, & Deci, 2000), High School Students' Adjustment questionnaire (Sinha & Singh, 1993), and the sense of connectedness with school questionnaire (Brew, Beatty, and Watt, 2005) were used to measure variables. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results of the path analysis showed that there is a direct and significant effect between satisfying the basic psychological needs in relation to teachers with adjustment and the sense of connectedness with School. Psychological needs and adjustment account for 63 percent of the variation of the sense of connectedness with School. The result showed that the adjustment of students had a mediating role in the relation between satisfying basic psychological needs and the sense of connectedness with School. Teachers and school principals can use the findings of the present study to strengthen students' participation and adjustment in school.
