The aim of the present research is to offer a causal model of the environmental behavior based on parenting styles and interactive role of identity processing styles among high school girls in Darab. For this purpose , among 13480 high school girls studying in grade 2 in 2015-2016 in Darab , about 375 of high school girls were selected as the research sample through relatively stratified sampling. Measurement tools were Schiffer's parenting questionnaire (1965), Berzonsky's identity processing style questionnaire (1979) and Emamgholi's environental behavior questionnaire (2011). In this research descriptive and inductive statistical methods such as correlative and route analysis were used to analyze the hypotheses. The research findings showed that the parenting styles through identity processing styles had an indirect and meaningful effect on the environmental behavior, and the most to the least indirect effect on the environmental behavior was related to the dictatorial , decisive, indifferent, and neglectful parenting respectively through identity processing styles. Also, informational and normative identity had an indirect and positive effect and bewildered-avoiding identity had a negative and meaningful effect on the environmental behavior. Based on the findings of this research, parenting styles and identity processing styles express 41% of changes in the environmental behavior.
