The spin-orbit coupling effects on the velocity space electromagnetic instabilities have been analytically studied. In this order, first, a suitable form of the kinetic theory is introduced and then, results are investigated for real ICF and astrophysical plasmas. For the ICF plasmas, Low intensity magnetic field can not provide a suitable field for effectiveness of the particle's spin, while transmission to astrophysical subjects is different. For astrophysical applications, the spin-orbit coupling effects can lead to addition free energy so that, it can overcoming the non relativistic effects and leads to increasing the instability growth rate.
