The purpose of this study was to role components personality organization and object relations in prediction of interpretation bias of depressed students. The Descriptive-analytical correlation method was used. The statistical population of the present study was the students of Islamic Azad University Urmia branch in academic year 1398-1399. The sample size of 200 students from three faculties of engineering, basic sciences and humanities (76 boys and 124 girls) was selected based on the inclusion criteria in the available sampling method and to the revised list of depression Beck et al. (1996), inventory of personality organization  of Lenzenweger and et al (2001)  and object relations inventory  Bell and et al (1986) and ambiguous scenarios test-depression  of Berna and et al. (2011). The collected data was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multivariate regression analysis. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between components personality organization and object relations with interpretation bias (P<0.01). The results of stepwise multiple regression analysis in the final step also revealed that 55.5% of the variance of interpretive bias is explained by the components of reality testing, incompetence, alienation and insecure attachment. Findings of this study show that personality organization (reality testing component) and object relations (incompetence, alienation and insecure attachment) play an important role in predicting the interpretive bias of depressed students.
