The study aims to identify the relationship between dogmatism and the behavioral problems among preparatory school students. To do this, the researcher adopted Rokeach’s scale of dogmatism, which was modified to be more appropriate of the Iraqi context. A sample of (300) students was chosen randomly to collect the needed data for the current study. To process the data, the researcher employed t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and weighted mean. The finding revealed that the study sample experience too many behavioral problems, as well as there is a positive strong relationship between dogmatism and behavioral problems. To conclude, the researcher recommended holding counseling sessions targeting school students to mitigate dogmatism among them. (Published abstract)
