The media plays an effective role in institutionalizing values and forming or changing national identity as the largest level of identity and acts as a variable lever of national identity. The aim of the current research was to analyze the role of mass and social media in the construction of national identity according to the students' lived experience, which was done with a phenomenological approach. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of the nature of the data. The statistical population of the research included all students of the first and second secondary courses in Ardabil city. The sample size was 17 students who were selected by purposeful sampling based on the principle of theoretical saturation and then the data were analyzed based on thematic analysis. The findings showed that based on the lived experience of the participants, the gap between knowledge, attitude and behavior towards national identity was evident in mass and social media; So that the national identity and its dimensions among teenagers whose dominant media is social media is less than among teenagers whose dominant media is mass media. Teenagers with the dominant use of mass media have tried to protect the traditional sources of national identity, on the other hand, the teenagers with the dominant use of social media represented themselves in favor of global or cosmopolitan identity.

One of the most important concepts in Imam Khomeini's political thought is cultural independence. The present article is an attempt to answer the following question: How cultural independence is explained in Imam Khomeini's viewpoints and thoughts and what is its status? The hypothesis of the present study is as follows: "In Imam Khomeini's thought, cultural independence is defined in order to distinguish the indigenous culture (with two components, i.e., Iranian and Islamic) from the Western culture, but this differentiation does not mean the total negation of Western cultural in an absolute and blind way. To substantiate the above-mentioned hypothesis, descriptive-analytical method has been used and identity-centered sociological approach has been employed to re-understand the concept of cultural independence with emphasis on the national dimension of identity (national cultural identity) which in itself contains cultural homogeneity vis-à-vis the differentiation with the other culture. In this regard, three characteristics of national cultural identity (preservation of cultural heritage, valuation in relation to it, and valuation in relation to the Persian language) have been comparatively studied in Imam Khomeini's thought. This comparison indicates the acceptance of the mentioned indicators not in an absolute and blind way, but in order to create an identification construct independent of the external culture and to negate the absolutist Westernist attitude of the Pahlavi government. The result is neither absolute rejection nor absolute acceptance of the Western culture, but while recognizing its positive achievements, through setting up an identity boundary with it, leads to cultural independence in this idea.

Iran, a large and diverse country with a rich multicultural tapestry, is home to various ethnic groups. The coexistence of these diverse ethnicities poses the potential to weaken the nation's collective identity and unity. Neglecting these differences can have detrimental consequences, leading to social disintegration. Embracing a sense of belonging to a broader national community is crucial for fostering social cohesion and averting political and social instability. The inclination to identify with the national community and derive a sense of identity from it is a vital indicator of social development in Iran. When individuals, despite their affiliations with smaller ethnic, religious, or class groups, prioritize membership in the national community and draw their identity from it, they are better positioned to contribute to the country's progress and respond voluntarily to societal crises, leveraging their abilities and resources to aid in problem-solving. Additionally, the manner, in which a society is governed, plays a significant role in reinforcing the inclination towards a national community. A fair and efficient government that aligns with the values of the society, comprising diverse smaller groups, can bolster the propensity towards the national community. This study aimed to assess the inclination towards the national community and the factors influencing it.

The data for this study were gathered through a survey designed to capture various dimensions of national community orientation, including cognition, emotion, and behavior, as well as social, historical, territorial, cultural, political, and economic aspects, along with perceptions of intergroup justice and a shared future. The sample size was determined using Cochran's formula, resulting in a sample of 384 individuals to achieve a 95% confidence level with a 5% margin of error. To ensure accuracy, 530 questionnaires were ultimately completed. The survey employed a two-stage sampling approach, utilizing cluster sampling to select localities and random sampling to select respondents. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software and internal consistency, construct validity, and Cronbach's alpha were assessed to ensure the reliability and validity of the indicators. Owing to space constraints, the internal correlation results were not presented in this article.

The findings indicated that the inclination towards the national community in Iran averaged at 4 out of 6 on a 6-point scale, signifying a substantial tendency. Specifically, there was a strong inclination in the social, cultural, historical, and territorial dimensions, while the political and economic dimensions showed a relatively lower sense of justice between groups and common destiny towards the national community. In terms of orientation, the emotional dimension of orientation to the national community was rated at 4.6 out of 6, indicating a high to very high level, but it exhibitd a weaker status in the cognitive and behavioral dimensions. This underscored the importance of enhancing knowledge and providing further training in understanding the national community as the individuals demonstrated a strong orientation towards it but lacked sufficient knowledge and exhibited weaker behavior in strengthening their national community. Another significant point pertained to commonalities within the national community, which were categorized into past, present, and future. The current survey revealed that people were more interested in commonalities originating from the past, including culture (4.7), history (4.8), and land (4.6), compared to the commonalities of the present (economy, politics, etc.) and the future. In other words, the tendency towards the national community based on the common past was stronger than the tendency based on the commonality of the present and the future. Commonalities related to the present and the future were more influenced by the efficiency of the government and alignment of values in the society. The government's acceptability in terms of efficiency and value orientation effectively increased orientation towards the national community. The variables investigated accounted for 65% of the changes in the tendency towards the national community.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between the national media, the provincial TV channel and the Kurdish language overseas satellites on the dimensions of the national and ethnic identity of the Kurds in Oramanat region of Kermanshah, which was conducted with a survey method and the use of a questionnaire among a sample of 400 citizens of four cities of Javanroud, Paveh, Ravansar and Salas Babajani. The obtained data were processed and analyzed through spss software. The findings of the research show that the amount of use of the national media (1 hour and 45 minutes) and the provincial TV channel (half an hour) compared to virtual space and the Internet (4 hours) and even satellite (about 2 hours) was much less, which shows that respondents' satisfaction with national and provincial media is very low. In terms of identity, the average number of ethnic identities is (4) and national identity is (3.5), which is at an average level. The inferential results of this study showed that the national media (beta 0.22) and the Zagros provincial TV channel (beta 0.19) have a positive and direct effect on national identity, which explains a total of 13% of respondents' national identity. Also, age (beta 0.14) has a positive effect on national identity, and the use of Kurdish language satellites (beta -0.12) has a negative effect on national identity. On one hand, out of all the studied variables, only Kurdish-language satellites with beta (0.21) have had a positive effect on ethnic identity, and in total, 5% of the variance of ethnic identity is related to these Kurdish-language overseas media. In the meantime, the amount of use of new social networks with beta (-0.12) had a negative effect on ethnic identity. On the other hand, in relation to the respondents' religious identity, the national and provincial media explained only 9.5% of the respondents' religious identity, and more than 90% of the unexplained variance is related to factors other than the national and provincial media. In general, the identity of the Kurds has suffered a kind of ambiguity and dissatisfaction among the people of Oramanat. On one hand, the Kurds are not satisfied with the representation of their culture and history in the national and provincial media, and on the other hand, although some of the programs of the Kurdish overseas satellite networks have been effective in attracting people's attention, their programs are not compatible with maintaining the territorial and identity integrity of the country, and they cause problems for the mutual trust of the government and the people and social participation, especially in political dimensions.

Today, in the international environment, “national brand” is a lever needed by governments to improve and strengthen their position in the world arena. Leaders who understand the value of the national brand can use cultural differences and diversity to create competitive advantage and superiority. It is essential to be aware of the attitudes and identify the different dimensions that affect the national brand of a country. Therefore, the current research has an exploratory aspect and has used a qualitative method. The statistical community of the research was formed by experts in the field of national branding, and the number of these people is 57, and the mental pattern of these people was identified and analyzed based on the “Q” research method. The results show that eight components for the variable of ethnic groups and six components for the variable of national brand have been discovered, among which, there is a positive and significant relationship between the component of “ethnic culture” and “international image” and “ethnic interests” and “economic capitals”. There is a negative and meaningful.

The condition for the survival and cultural continuity of societies is the cohesion and integration of people who consider their identity roots to belong to that culture. Identification and alignment with collective identities such as national identity and ethnic identity are important among women who are both half of the population and play an important role in identifying the other half. The general purpose of this study was to determine the degree of adherence of young Turkish and Kurdish women in the cities of Tabriz and Buchan to national and ethnic identity. The research method was correlational survey. The statistical population included the youth of 18 to 30 years old in Tabriz and Buchan and the sample size consisted of 384 and 380 people, respectively. The results of Pearson correlation test showed that the level of adherence to national identity among young Turkish and Kurdish women in Tabriz and Buchan is high and there is no significant difference between them. Adherence to national and ethnic identities among young Turkish and Kurdish women reflects the rich roots of ethnic and national identity in Iranian society.

Diverse cultural factors affect the national identity of adolescents. Recognizing these factors and planning for the optimal use of these factors provide the basis for preventing identity crisis in adolescents. Adolescents, at this age acquire the basis of generalized commitment and a sense of emotional belonging to their community, and in this time, identity begins to take shape in them. Consider national identity as one of the most important dimensions of the identity of the people of a society. In this study, we have sociologically investigated the effect of cultural factors on the reproduction of national identity in adolescents in Behbahan city. This research has been quantitatively done and there was a survey, conducted with 364 adolescents aged 13-16 years in Behbahan city using a questionnaire technique. Reproduction of national identity among adolescents studied based on multivariate regression analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient shows that there is a high positive and negative relationship between reproduction of national identity and cultural factors. Also, this relationship was felt more in boys than girls. The relationship between cultural factors and adolescents living in urban and rural areas also shows that adolescents living in urban areas more affected by these factors in the reproduction of national identity than adolescents living in rural areas are. Cultural factors have a strong relationship in the field of reproduction of national identity and it is viable to improve the status of national identity and especially its reproduction by strengthening cultural factors, especially in deprived and less developed areas.

Social Integration and solidarity is one of the important issues of multi-ethnicity and developing countries. This paper tries to understand the effective elements on the Salience of ethnic identity and its strengthening among Arabic-language speakers of Khuzestan. This research has been done by Interpretive-constructive approach and by quantitative method and for analyzing the data Grounded Theory has been used. Purposive and theoretical sampling has been used for selecting interviewees. To collecting data, we interviewed by 30 elites in Khuzestan. After doing open-coding, 12 axial codes presented. The results illustrate that Salience of the ethnic identity among Arabic people of Khuzestan is not against national identity and it is equal with the national identity. And also salience of ethnic identity is followed by some variables of politicized identity of ethnicity, the ethnic-race of cultural exclusion, the historical and continuous deprivation, the understood relative deprivation of ethnicity, the anti-government ethnic internalized unpleasantness, the ethnic identity seeking, rational ethnic identity making, ethnic seizure of space and geography and the ethnic and identity delimitation.

Identity is one of the important issues facing humanity today, so that the issue of self-discovery is of great importance to different people. In general, identity is what makes a person different from one another.Regarding the importance of the subject in this research, using the field method, survey technique and the questionnaire's research tool, we seek to answer the main question: what is the relationship between different dimensions of social capital and national identity? The statistical population of this research is Kermanshah That is, 384 citizens of 18 years old up to this city have been examined as sample size.In order to answer the main question of this research, we have investigated and analyzed various dimensions of social capital such as social trust, social cohesion, social participation, social interaction and social consciousness as independent variables and its relation with national identity as dependent variable. The results of the research indicate that the rate of national identity tendency among the citizens of Kermanshah is too moderate and there is a significant direct and direct relationship between all the independent variables of the research with the dependent variable

The environment and necessity of preserving it, is important and vital issues of the present era. It is one of the dimensions of achieving sustainable development. Then, the lack of human life and societies without having a healthy environment is obvious to everybody. The aim of present study is to identify and investigate the social and cultural factors of committing environmental crimes of Kashani citizens by mixed method (qualitative-quantitative). In the qualitative section by using semi-structured interview method, theme analysis and MAXQDA software, social and cultural factors related to green crimes were identified. Then, in the quantitative part, the existence, direction and coefficient rate of independent variables with dependent variable were evaluated using survey method and questionnaire. The minimum number of samples was estimated to be 358 according to Cochran formula. However, at the discretion of the supervisor, the samples were upgraded to 481 people. After collecting data, they were analyzed by SPSS 22 software. The results of correlation tests indicate that the variables of citizenship culture, environmental awareness, religiosity and national identity are related to committing environmental crimes. Moreover, the results of regression analyses shows that all the independent variables have the significant and reverse influence on green crimes. Thus, by promoting the culture of citizenship, environmental awareness, religiosity and national identity, committing environmental crimes will reduce. Therefore, citizenship and environmental education to public and getting familiar with Islamic and Iranian identity is suggested in order to prevent environmental crimes.

Today, the influence of virtual social media on the components of social identity, including national identity, is undeniable. Examining the various aspects of these effects has been the focus of social researchers. A brief look at the research conducted in this field shows different and sometimes contradictory results. Based on this, the current research was conducted with the aim of achieving a comprehensive analysis of the impact of virtual social media on national identity.

The research method is meta-analysis, which examined 21 related studies in 2010-2018. In order to analyze the data, sensitivity analysis, funnel plot, fixed and random models, and heterogeneity analysis were used using comprehensive meta-analysis software (CMA2).

The findings showed the heterogeneity of the effect size in different studies and the lack of publication bias in the considered studies. Also, the results of the effect size of national identity and the use of virtual space are -0.139, which according to Cohen's interpretation system, this effect is evaluated as "weak". In addition, the examination of two moderating variables shows that the coefficient of effect size is higher in students than in citizens, and the effect size is different in the group who exclusively use virtual networks and those who use both websites and social networks.

The results of heterogeneity analysis confirm the viewpoint of theorists who have a realistic approach and believe in the positive and negative effects of virtual space, and the size of the combined effect confirms the view that emphasizes the negative effect of virtual space on identity.

Considering the impacts of globalization on weakening or strengthening the Iranian national identity, several studies have been conducted. By adopting a new approach and using meta-analysis, the current research tries to combine the findings of independent and similar studies in this field and, as a result, present an analysis beyond the analyzes that have been done. In fact, the purpose of this research is to meta-analyze the researchers conducted in the field of the impact of globalization on the Iranian national identity in order to obtain a new and clear picture of the current state of researches and shortcomings in this field. The socio-statistical research is the research conducted in the field of the impact of globalization on the national identity, which was obtained through searching in the Moghiran scientific database, the comprehensive portal of humanities, the Normagz specialized journals database, the database of the Academic Jihad Scientific Information Center and Irandoc. Among the researches, after the initial refinement, 17 cases were selected as samples according to meta-analysis criteria. The findings are presented in two sections: systematic review and effect size calculation using comprehensive meta-analysis software (CMA2). The most important weak points of the researches in this field are: the low use of standard questionnaires, the use of multiple and sometimes irrelevant components to measure the variable of globalization and even national identity, the lack of a clear theoretical framework in 17.65% of the researches, little attention to the validity and reliability of the tool. Research In most of the researches, the proposals presented in the conclusion section of the researches are vague and impractical. Also, the effect size calculation shows that globalization has a significant impact on national identity -0.47.

The aim of the current research is to investigate the interaction between demands and Iranian national identity of social science students with a qualitative approach and contextual theory technique.

The tool used to collect data is a semi-structured interview. Purposive sampling was used to select interviewees and theoretical sampling (theoretical saturation) was used to determine the number of people. The research community are doctoral students of social sciences who have been studying in the past decade. 

The causal categories of this research are as follow: optimal education of society members, personal choice in special conditions, acceptance of social realities and dissatisfaction with existing conditions. Background categories are as follow: maintaining the territorial integrity of the country at any cost and the official language as the most important communication factor. Facilitating categories are: the valuable position of Iranian civilization, the choice of democracy for the administration of the country, and trust in the country's officials. Interactive categories: official religion along with other religions, the diversity of convergent Iranian ethnic groups and humanity is preferred over ethnicity, and intervening categories: the influence of world domination on societies, the influence of Iran's strategic position on society and the choice of immigration, and the phenomenon category: social demands and their consequences, the value of identity. Iranian nationality is the influential presence of people in the society and choosing homeland for living.

The Islamic revolution was based on the pure Islamic culture and has traveled its path in the first step and has reached the second step. The pure Islamic culture wants the happiness of mankind, and the happiness of mankind depends on deep and pure spirituality. Therefore, the Supreme Leader emphasizes it in the recommendations of the statement of the second step of the revolution. But to reach deep spirituality, first of all, it is necessary to know the characteristics of spirituality. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the indicators of deepening spirituality in the intellectual system of the Supreme Leader as the source of the statement of the second step. The present research is an attempt to know these indicators and explores its components in an inductive way. The research method of this article is qualitative and of the foundation data type, which has continued with the study of the Supreme Leader's intellectual system until reaching theoretical saturation, and discovery and inspection have been the tools of this observation and study in terms of reliability and validity. The perspective of this article is an exploratory examination of the six other recommendations of His Holiness in the statement of the second step of the revolution. In its first step, the Islamic revolution established the Islamic system and continues its path towards the new Islamic civilization and is a claimant for the happiness of mankind. Therefore, the above combination is the spiritual civilization that is headed towards him and the three dimensions of self-improvement (perfect man, waiting man, spiritual man), socialization (revolutionary system, preparation for emergence, utopia) and civilization (new Islamic civilization, It considers the single nation, the rule of religion and morality) with the stated components.

After the Islamic revolution, Iranian society has a revolutionary identity that emerges in its institutions, especially education. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the students' identity based on the values of the Islamic Revolution and investigate the role of religious and national identity in their revolutionary identity. The method of this research is mixed method and has two qualitative and quantitative stages; In the first stage, the analysis of the content of the values of the Islamic Revolution from the statements of Imam Khamenei and in the second stage, the evaluation of the students' identity based on these values has been done. The type of first stage is content analysis and informations collected by library method. The second stage is done by correlational survey method and the tool of this stage is the modified questionnaire of Gharibzadeh and Hosseinpour (2018). The theoretical framework of this research originates from the adaptation of Bloom's goal orientation theory with the values obtained from the views of the Supreme Leader. The statistical population were high school students who studying in 2017-2018. The sample size consists of 1915 people. The sampling method is purposefully available in the first stage and random cluster sampling in the second stage. The average of all three identities was higher than the assumed average (2.5), but religious and national identities were higher than the average (3) and revolutionary identities were lower than the average. There is a positive and significant correlation between these three identities and the results of regression analysis show that the cognitive (β = 0.012) and emotional (β = 0.047) tendencies of religious identity do not have the ability to predict revolutionary identity.Revolutionary identity and religious identity in cognitive and emotional tendencies are better than behavioral tendencies. If one knows more about religion or has an emotional attachment to religion, cannot say that revolutionary identity is certainly desirable; but if religion is actioned, the revolutionary identity will be at a desirable level. Also, as the awareness of national issues increases, the revolutionary identity decreases.

The purpose of this research was to compare the role of mass and social media in cultural changes with an emphasis on belonging to the national identity of teenagers. The research method was causal-comparative. The statistical population of the research consists of all adolescents (13-17 years old) of Ardabil city, numbering 50,000, of which 380 people were selected as a sample by cluster random sampling. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire for the media and a standard questionnaire by Selgi et al. (2014) were used for the feeling of belonging to the national identity. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to estimate the form and content validity of the questionnaires from the experts' and professors' point of view, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to estimate the reliability of the questionnaires, which was higher than 0.7 for the questionnaires. Data were analyzed through t-test and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) in SPSS software. The results showed that mass and social media play a different role in the feeling of belonging to the national identity and its dimensions (social, historical, cultural and political) among teenagers (P<0.01). So that the feeling of belonging to the national identity and its dimensions among the teenagers whose media consumption is of a social type is less than the teenagers who are of a collective type. 5.7% of cultural belonging, 7.7% of historical belonging, 9.7% of political belonging and 14.7% of social belonging of teenagers are explained through the difference in the effect of the type of media (collective and social). Therefore, it is concluded that the type of media plays an important role in the cultural changes of teenagers in general and the feeling of belonging to the national identity in particular.
