In the survey, a number of 312 individuals were selected by random sampling in three zones of Torbat Hedariyeh Township.  A combined questionnaire (Baron, Shrink, Boss and Perry) was used to gather data (validity = 0.72 and reliability =0.84). The average EQ, aggression and passivity of the three zones were significantly different. But the average of the passive style of communication was not meaningful. Moreover, there was correlation between educational level and the living zone of the sample society. According to findings, the prediction of aggressive style for the three zones was rejected. Regarding the positive relationship between educational level and EQ, and negative relationship between educational level and aggressiveness and passiveness, upgrading of education in the society will be a promising issue.
