The main purpose of this study is to investigate the role and place of virtual networks in the formation of modern identity of young people. This research was conducted with mixed method, qualitative (GT) and quantitative (survey) and in terms of practical purpose and in terms of the method and nature of the research, it is descriptive and survey type. The method of data collection was a researcher-made questionnaire, and the data collection tool was the answers received from the statistical population. To measure reliability in this research, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which is extracted through SPSS software calculations, was used. Also, to calculate the validity of the questionnaire, it was revised and finalized through content validity and using the opinions of professors.In order to achieve Strauss and Corbin's paradigmatic model, with foundational data method and interviews with 13 experts, the findings were coded in three open, central and selective stages, and the result of coding to achieve the paradigmatic model included: causal, contextual, intervening factors, strategies and consequences. . In the second step, the required data was obtained using the foundation data method and using a researcher-made questionnaire, by surveying 384 young Tehrani users from 5 regions

 The purpose of this study is to identify the status of religious and modern identities as two important dimensions of post-revolutionary generation identity and the relationship between these two aspects of identity and also to investigate the role of some factors affecting these forms of identity. The method of the present study is survey and its statistical population includes all women aged 18 to 42 years in Ahvaz in 1399 and the sample size is 191 people. The results show that the relationship between modern identity and religious identity is significantly reverse, meaning that by strengthening each, the other will be weakened. In explaining modern identity based on religious identity and other research variables, considering the value of coefficient (R2), it can be said that 0.186% of modern identity changes are explained by independent variables, and religious identity with a beta value of -0.281 is the best. It is considered a predictor of modern identity. Also, in explaining religious identity based on modern identity and other research variables, according to the coefficient value (R2), it can be said that 0.365% of the changes in religious identity are explained by independent variables, and social capital with a beta value of 0.503 is the best. It is considered a predictor of religious identity.

In this article, considering the field of study and gender, we seek to answer the question of how much identity is influenced by these two variables and what tendency is strengthened by strengthening each of the religious and modern identities? Based on the aspects related to the changes and implicit complexities in the status of identity, especially among students, the present study seeks to answer the main question of what is the relationship between the tendency towards modern values and religious identity among students.

The method of this research is correlation and its statistical population is all students enrolled in the second semester of 1397 in the faculties of technology, art and social sciences of the University of Tehran as three disciplines from three different fields in the mother university and the symbol of higher education in Iran. According to the size of the statistical population in different fields, 380 samples were selected by stratified random sampling. The data collection tool was a questionnaire whose validity was considered by the professors of social sciences and also the validity of the questionnaire through Cronbach's alpha test.

The results show that there is an inverse relationship between modern and religious identity, boys are more inclined to modern identity than girls. In further study, the difference between the means showed that there is a significant difference between the disciplines of the Faculty of Engineering and the disciplines of the Faculty of Arts in the tendency towards modern values. There is a significant difference between technical and art disciplines in the tendency towards religious values, so that technical students are more inclined towards the values ​​of religious identity. This result is fully confirmed by the significance coefficient of 0.000. However, there is no significant difference between technical and social sciences students due to the fact that the significance coefficient is greater than 0.050. There is also a significant difference between art students and social science students, and social science students are more inclined to the values ​​of religious identity. This result is reliable and generalizable to the statistical population due to the reliability coefficient of 0.001 which is less than 0.05. Interestingly, among students, technical tendencies compared to other students, tendency to modern values ​​and religious values ​​are more than other tendencies. The identity of students in these orientations is a combination and construction of the two mentioned values.

The quality of fluidity and interaction between the two categories of values has been internalized in students and can disrupt predictions of student behavior in future situations and also promise constructive interaction between two categories of resources within them. This article examines the formulation of identity as a fluid state under the influence of various sources that different people, especially student youths, who are in the most important stages of socialization. Numerous sources are very influential in shaping the identity of student youth. Although this article does not seek to create a dichotomy between modern identity and religious identity, it seeks to identify different formulations influenced by sources that have different weights among different groups of students. For this reason, in order to identify the elements and components affecting identity, these components can be distinguished from modern, national, religious, etc., but lived in practice and experience and based on the findings in the present study, it can be said that in general, these elements and components constitute the identity of students, so it cannot be reduced to one or two dimensions.

The main questions of this research are that what elements of this compound are in the young population of Iranian society? How has each of these elements evolved over the past decades, and what has been the ups and downs? What is the relationship between the components of the collective identity of Iranian youth? What kind of combination is this composition and how is it arranged, commented, traded, and how is the interaction between these elements? Research method of this study was  longitudinal and national study based on the secondary analysis of quantitative data of variables studied in the period of 1973-94. The results show that the religious identity with an average of 11/83 was on the scale of 100 most prevalent types of identity over the years in the Iranian youth community. After that, the national identity with the mean of 29/80 is the most widely spread among the youth. Ethnic identity with 53/46 and also modern identity with 03/52 are the next. In terms of correlation tests and according to the correlation chart, it can generally be concluded that there is a relationship between national identity and ethnic identity among young people in the year 86. Correlation coefficient of these two direct and significant variables is moderate. Also, the results of the Spearman correlation test between the national identity and religious identity among the youth in the years 79, 86, 84, 88 indicate the existence of a relationship between the two identities.

The ethno-cultural region of Hawraman encounters a multiple and complex combination of identity sources which its understanding calls for deep and contextual investigation. Applying a qualitative approach, the present study attempts to discuss the identity sources of Hawrami people. To these end, a half-structured interview was conducted with 33 Hawrami key commentaries and experts selected with maximum variation; Data were gathered. In order to analyze the data, we used Nvivo and MAXQDA software based on conventional qualitative content analysis proposed by Lundman and Greneheim. The findings of the study demonstrated that the identity sources of Hawraman consists of four themes: “Hawrami-Kurdish ethnical identity”, “Iranian national identity”, “religious identity”, and “modern identity”. The category of Hawrami-Kurdish identity includes Hawrami language and literature, Hawrami symbols, sense of attachment and feeling proud of being a Hawrami, preserving and defending Hawrami sources and interests, music and songs and the emphasis on social integrity of different regions as Kurd people. The Iranian national identity includes the everyday presence of Persian language, music and songs, rituals and Iranian values, and national loyalty. Religious identity embraces the beliefs, rituals, Sufism, Ghaderi and Naghshbandi mysticisms, the state of religion, tolerance and revitalization-fundamentalism. In the category of modern identity, we shall see challenging the ancestor’s beliefs, intellect, criticism and awareness, humanism and tendency towards modernism, cosmopolitanism and consumption. At the end of the study, according to the findings, the identity sources of Hawrami people model was recognized and represented.

This research has been conducted with a sociological approach and a survey method and attempts have been made to examine some of the variables that affect the transition from traditional identity to modern identity. The studied population consisted of undergraduate students at Shoushtar Azad University (4300 students), of which 380 were selected as samples. Sampling was done using simple random quotas based on the number of college students. The required information was collected by a researcher-made questionnaire. Using SPSS software, using appropriate statistical tests of the relationships between the independent variables and the dependent variable (Tests: Significance difference, Tukey, Spearman test, Pearson test, and Linear regression analysis). The results of the statistical tests show that, in total, 14 variables were entered into the regression equation. Independent variables of gender 041 /. , Age 008 /. , Marital status 18 /, father's education 076 /, father's occupation 010 /. , Family income 047 /. , Mother's career 145.-, social participation rate 404 /. , The rate of use of communication devices 082 /. , Human Relations Level 117 /. , Social Income 113 /. And the level of religiosity 088 /. Have influenced the dependent variable. Beta coefficients show that, in total, these variables account for 49.5% of the causes of dependent variables.

According to many scholars, with the widespread socio-cultural changes of recent decades, Identities have evolved on the border of tradition and modernity and fundamental changes are created in relationships, beliefs and expectations of the marriage and marital lives. Continuous reflection on women’s identity, the inseparable processes of presence in community and education, questioned the traditional structure of the family, which was largely based on gender differences, and caused difficulty in coordinating traditional roles with new family-personal roles. Based on this, the present study seeks to understand that what are the dynamics of women’s identity in the religious and traditional city of Yazd and what role they play in marital conflicts?
The method in this study is survey. The sample consisted of all married women in 20 to 55 years of age with children in Yazd. The sampling method was multi-stage cluster sampling method. Thus, at first three Yazd Municipality areas were considered as three main clusters, and in the next step, the main streets of each area of the municipality were considered as districts for clusters. In the final step, using a simple random method and visiting the homes, the respondents were recruited to be 394 individuals. The tool used in this study was a questionnaire. The questionnaire after validation and its reliability in the preliminary stages of the research, was used to collect the required data at the final stage. Content validity has been used in this research. Cronbach’s alpha has also been used to measure instrument reliability. The marital conflicts variable was measured with 0/94 alpha in the form of Likert scale. Also, the Female Identity Dynamic variable was measured with 0/90 alpha in the form of Likert scale.
Discussion of Results & The results of this study show that marital conflicts among women of Yazd are less than average, 65% have a low conflict, 29% have middle-range conflict and 6% have high conflict. Overall, it can be expressed that 35% of women with a middle to high conflict are a significant percentage and it needs attention and consideration to reduce its negative effects in marital life. Also, most conflicts exist in the aspects of communicational conflicts with a mean of 14/88, finance with a mean of 10/53, and parenting with a mean of 9/82. Also, 19.3% of women have a traditional identity, 68% have an intermediate identity and 11.7% of them have a modern identity. The results of the present research confirm that the intermediate identity of Yazdi women is neither in fact entirely traditional nor completely modern. This result also affirms that women in Yazd depart from their traditional identity, while their modern identity is strengthened and this factor lead to conflicts in their family backgrounds. The data show that there is a significant relationship between the two variables of the female identity and marital conflicts. And with more dynamics of women’s identity from traditional to modern, marital conflicts increase. In the three dimensions of women’s identity, data also indicate that gender, role, and personal identity have a positive and meaningful relationship with marital conflicts. The possible reason for this is that the family in Yazd did not change with the changes in the identity of women, causing conflicts in women’s marital life. The research results also show that marital conflict is reduced with increasing educational level. Marital conflicts of employed women is more than non-employed women. The results of the analysis of structural equations for assessing the research model show that the research model has generally a good fit.

Several factors affect social identity and social trust is one of them. Regarding the fact that Women's status and their participation in society has changed and developed in different areas such as in the society and universities, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between social trust and social identity of Bachelor to Ph. D. women students in public universities in Tabriz in 2016. Their total number was 5577. The survey method was implemented to conduct the study. Theoretical framework was formed using the theories of Giddens، Ztvmka، Efe ، Jnkynzv Tajf،. The method was simple stratified sampling. Data were collected using the questionnaires from a sample of 360 students from undergraduate to doctoral educated women in the state universities of Tabriz. To validate data, content and structure validation was done. Results showed that among identity components, thae highest mean was related to traditional identity, 2. 4, and modern identitu, 2. 03. The social identity of educated women is high regarding generalized trust indicators, 80. 5, but low in natural trust indicators. Based on the results, there is a relationship between social trust and womens’ modern and post-modern identity. Also, there is a significant relationship between the economic-social status of women and their modern and post-modern social identity. The Durbin-Watson test showed the adequacy of the model as a good one. Using Multi-Linear regression and variables like age, major, education, individual trust and natural trust, it becomes possible to specify 36% of social identity variance.

The increasing expansion of tertiary education has led to women’s presence at the universities and has increased women’s awareness about their legal rights. Further, the experience of tertiary education and the university atmosphere can have substantial effects on individuals’ identity. Theoretically, this study is based on an anthropological approach. The results of this study indicate that tertiary education has these consequences for women: achieving and enhancing the non-traditional skills and approaches and modern values, combining traditional and modern gender roles. This leads to develop a new form of identity combined with individualism which provides the potential for changes in both individual and social lifestyle. In such a context, university plays a key role for identity change.

The place and effects of modernity on Iranian society have been a vital issue since the formation of Sociology discipline in Iran. This study focuses mainly on the concept of modernity and seeks an analytical model in order to measure this key concept in the Iranian society. Theoretically, this study is based on the social identity theory associated with the variable of modern identity. In addition, methodologically the present study relies mainly on several methods including exploratory studies, survey and structural modeling.
Generally speaking, the key results of this study refer to the presentation of a specific model consisting of seven components for the purpose of measuring the place of modern identity in the context of Iran. The model has been developed on the basis of a sample of 1291 cases. The sample includes the cases both between the provinces and within them selected on the basis of the methods of multistage sampling and random sampling, respectively. Finally, the model has been adjusted based on the means of absolute and parsimonious fit indices.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the amount of use of social networks and the formation of modern identity is girl students. The research is descriptive and correlational. The population is 326 undergraduate students at Allameh TabatabaI University in the academic year 2015-2016. The samples were selected by multistage cluster sampling. The data collected through a questionnaire of modern identity developed by Kianpour et al. (2014). The results showed that amount of the use of virtual social networks had a significant positive relationship with modern identity and all its four components. Also bivariate regression analysis showed that the variance of variable use of social networks could significantly predict the formation of modern identity (R2 = 50.8). It is recommended to set up a virtual national network then plan to create new virtual identity based on the native pattern, social and cultural policy making so that reduce the weakening of national identity through non-native social networks, according to the results.

Since Iranian society is passing from the traditional identity to the modern identity, the present study, using social interpretivism, studies the challenges that youth deal with in everyday life in terms of identity. Using the qualitative and the interview technique, we have tried to achieve a grounded theory. Based on Theoretical sampling and the standard of theorical Saturation, 28 young people ranging20 to 30 year-old have been interviewed in the city of Isfahan. The findings include 21 categories. The main category of this survey is” Selectivity of Identity Elements” which includes other categories. According to this core category the most important findings of this research are the conflict between the young generation and the old generation and the double consciousness which has been represented in a paradigmic model.

This (research) paper reviews the impacts of presence in the virtual space on modern identity formation of user students at various university levels. The contextual framework of the research comprises modernity components from the viewpoints of Giddens that is time and space, trust, risk, reflexivity, personal relationship and self-identity. The findings of the research show that the experience of presence at virtual space brings about changes in some aspects of the students’ identity and formation of a floating and reflexive identity.

Educational institutions are regarded as very important mechanisms for reproduction of values in every society, of which identity is an important component. Textbooks are the most important media of educational institutions for transferring the desired values. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the identity-based policy making in the textbooks of the second Pahlavi era. Due to the nature of the subject, qualitative method was applied. Six books were selected through purposive sampling and conventional and oriented content analysis was applied for analyzing them. Content analysis of different dimensions of social identity (including national identity, modern-western identity, religious identity, ethnical and local identity) in the social sciences textbooks reveal that modern-western identity was more underlined than other identities. The recurrent application of notions such as nation, homeland and Iranian ancient history shows that much emphasis was also put on national identity. This is while the other two identities are rarely mentioned; although religious identity is often presented in the service of other identities especially modern-western identity.

With the emergence and development of ICTs and the context in which Internet and virtual social networks function, people, in general and the youth in Isfahan in particular, are increasingly facing different and diverse sources of identification issues. Each identity, in turn and on the one hand, brings about its own specific set of values and lifestyle. On the other hand, boundaries of identity formation, such as the family, neighborhood, ethnicity and nationality are forced to become enormously flexible. With the development of virtual space, universalization of particular issues, and interconnectedness of the world, the youth are even becoming more and more confused as to how to choose one or a set of consistent and united identities. Their identity has become what experts call "bricolage identity." Therefore, what we see now is not a normal and traditional transition of identity from one generation to another. Rather it is a transitional period accompanied by identity crises. This in turn, can result in further and subsequent identity issues. Problematic of Research: Individual and social consequences of development of virtual social networks such as Facebook among Iranian youth constitute increasingly important research issues. Yet experts and social scientists, especially sociologists, pay little attention to it. This study intends to explore the relationship between using Facebook and being active in carrying a modern identity. We want to know what role Facebook plays in the construction of modern identity of its young users in Iran and especially in the city of Isfahan. Theory and Theoretically, it can be argued that Internet has the capability of empowering individuals to develop new understanding about their selves in the new world. Such situation creates new horizons for individuals which could be totally invisible in the real world or do not have any material existence. However, what makes virtual social networks attractive is their ability to provide individuals with an environment in which they can embark upon a process of "identity statement", namely, the public announcement that an individual makes about his or her identity in direct or indirect ways. The direct way could be seen in writing a biography. The indirect way, however, which is more common, entails expressions that users give about themselves while interacting with others. For example, individual users provide lists of group memberships or express specific tastes and priorities regarding everyday life hobbies. Putting the above points in perspective, this study methodologically, adopted a mixed-method approach to study such phenomena. We began our study first by a quantitative survey research and for further explorations; we used a quantitative study as well. In the quantitative part, we used an internet-based questionnaire to collect our online survey data. Research population in this part included young citizens of Isfahan who were Facebook users. We used a non-probability sampling method based on availability of Facebook users in order to finalize our sampling. Overall, we sent out the questionnaire to more than 5000 potential respondents. Eventually, 424 completed questionnaires returned to us and we launched our analysis on that basis to close this part of the research. In the qualitative part, we first selected 13 young users of Facebook before reaching to informational saturation and then used semi-structured interviews to collect necessary information for this part of the research. We used purposeful sampling here to select research subjects, and used inclusion criteria such as 1- being between the ages of 18 to 30 years old; and, 2- having at least two years experience as a Facebook user. Findings and The results of the study in the quantitative part indicate that there is a significant and positive relationship between Facebook membership period, the amount and frequency of usage, the amount of participation and activity, and taking Facebook's content as real. Such real content meanwhile expresses a modern identity. In addition, in the qualitative part we realized that Facebook has a self-revealing ability, which helps its users to present their true selves, true likes and dislikes. By doing so, they can experience some kind of emotional discharge which has therapeutic function. Other elements of modern identity, according to these findings, include acquiring up-to-date abilities, which function as a new window to the global space, and experiencing a feeling of cosmopolitanism. By interacting in Facebook, young users reduce the gap between their real self and their ideal self, emphasizing a series of positive characteristics about themselves. Such characteristics are more socially acceptable, and can contribute to their chance of being rated as popular among peers. Therefore, there is a process of prioritizing personal characteristics, which can be described as "selective presentation of identity". Internet in general; and, virtual social networks in particular, reduce the importance of visual signs, and provide some sort of unknown ability in their environment. Users can use such environment to form and develop their relationships in communities that are cut from reality. This provides an exceptional opportunity for the youth to experience an identity in innovative ways. During this process, other's reflections about the question of who are we? and peer comparisons are of crucial importance. Experiences such as separation of space and time, making intimate and friendly contacts with the diversified others who share a sense of mutual commitment in the relationship, trust in others while taking into consideration potential dangers and challenges, freedom, independence, personal empowerment, fluidity, and constant reflectivity, all are elements of modern identity that the youth create and experience in Facebook.

The transfer of technology from developed countries or regions to the less developed countries or regions has often been accompanied with economic and social problems. It also has resulted in indigenous people's reactions. This is because developmental models and those who apply them both aid an technological transfer and challenge the current values among indigenous people. This in turn, brings about dualism and resistance against changes. This paper seeks to support the above mentioned idea based on two quantitative and qualitative studies the writer has done in Assaluyeh and Bahregan, two Iranian oil districts. These studies indicate that, following the establishment of oil industries in the mentioned districts and the transfer of work force from developed regions to these deprived ones, modern and traditional identities have been confronted and a dual community has formed.. ..

The present study entitled “the representation of cultural identity in Iranian TV series”, examines cultural identity in the narrative content of Iranian TV series. In this study, identity is categorized into collective and personal. Collective identity, in turn, is divided into such categories as ethnic, national, religious and modern. Since cultural identity stems, in principle, from interactions and links between the components of social structure, it encompasses all the abovementioned concepts. This concept in Gerbner Cultivation Theory is referred to as a meaningful pattern which is presented to audience through TV series and representation. The Television series "Khat Shekan" is selected for the purpose of the study. Of all the series’ 22 episodes, 14 episodes and 16 scenes (as the smallest unit of analysis) were examined using semiotics analysis.Signs and codes present in the selected parts and scenes and containing cultural identity implications are analyzed and assessed at three levels of reality codes, representation and ideology using John Fisk analysis.Research findings show that religious identity in this TV series, based on a specific reading, is represented as the basic and superior cultural identity.In contrast, national and modern identity is displayed as the levels of cultural identity with a negative value and society anti-norms, which is at odds with religious identity.
