The present study used a descriptive/correlational method. Population of this study included all students who were studying in the University Kharazmi in the academic year of 2017-2018. Among the statistical population, 325 students were selected by multi-stage random sampling method. The subjects completed Self construal questionnaire of Hardin, Leong & Bhagwat, and social problem solving ability questionnaire of D’Zurilla and Nezu. The data analysis was conducted by using Pearson correlation test and step-by-step multiple regression method in SPSS v23. Results of Pearson correlation test suggested that there is positive and significant relationship between dependent Self-Construl and Independent Self-Construl with social problem solving ability. Results of step-by-step multiple regressions indicated that dependent Self-Construl and Independent Self-Construl could positively and significantly predict students' social problem solving ability. According to research findings, the self-construl factor as a cultural construct should be considered in predicting the students' social problem solving ability.
