The present paper investigates the relationship of the four-fold aspects of identity (personal identity, relational identity, social identity, and corporate identity) with internal and external religious orientation. A descriptive- correlational method is used in this research. The statistical sample includes 150 high school students from both sex between the age of 16 and 18 who were selected by simple sampling to complete a questionnaire about Identity aspects –IV verstion (AIQ-IV) and a questionnaire about religious orientation (Allport and Ross, 1950). Correlation and regression analysis were used to investigate the relationship between the variables and the effect of identity aspects on internal and external religious orientation. The results of regression analysis on both sex show that personal identity, corporate identity, and social identity predict internal religious orientation (p<0.01, R=0.568). From among the aspects of identity, only personal identity predict external religious orientation (p<0.05, R=0.273).

The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between Islamic religious orientation and different aspects of identity. The participants in this study were 232 female and 99 male students of different majors in Shiraz University who were selected through cluster random sampling. The revised questionnaire of "Religious Orientation" (Azarbyjani, 1382) and the fourth revised scale of "Identity Aspects AIQ-IV" (Cheek, Smith, and Troop, 2002) were used as instruments. Factor analysis was applied to the data to verify the validity. In addition, Cronbach's alpha was calculated to determine the reliability of both questionnaires. The obtained coefficients confirmed the reliability of the scales. Moreover, the results of the factor analysis, using the principle components with varimax rotation for the "Religious Orientation Scale" yielded two factors which were beliefs/rituals and ethics, respectively. In case of AIQ-IV, the results confirmed five dimensions: personal, relational, social, ethnic-national, and religious identities. The results of multiple regression of beliefs/rituals and ethics subscales on different aspects of identity revealed that the beliefs/rituals subscale was a positive predictor of religious identity. In addition, ethics subscale predicted personal and relational identity. However, it negatively predicted the religious identity.

This paper is taken from a survey study at the national level, which is conducted in order to review and measure the strength of collective identity in Iran-including national, ethnic, religious and modern identity, considering cultural, social and political dimensions of each of them, and also aiming to review relations and occasions among these dimensions. The theoretical framework of this research is the Symbolic Interaction Theory (SIT), on the basis of which hybrid and multidimensional (Iranian) identity is taken, and relations among these dimensions are also assumed to be in balance and harmony (and not conflicting and violating). In this research, 4 scales are designed to measure Iranian identity dimensions, and after several pretesting, the unit tool is provided, and is implemented in a sample population of 1800 people in 13 central cities of the province. The outcomes imply the strength of cultural dimensions of national identity, ethnic identity and religious identity, and also average tendency to social dimensions of national, ethnic and religious identities, below average tendency to political dimension of national and ethnic identity, and eventually a slight tendency to the three dimensions of modern identity. Furthermore, the findings support the existence of numerous positive relations among most dimensions of national identity, ethnic identity and religious identity with one another, and the meaningful distance of modern identity with other dimensions of Iranian identity.

This study aimed to examine the effects of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder on aspects of identity through mindfulness among adults. The study design was correlational. The sample consisted of 326 students (173 females, 153 males) of Islamic Azad University- South Tehran Branch in 2014/2015 academic year. The sample was selected by stratified sampling and based on the ratio of male and female students per college to total students. The participants completed the Conner’s Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale - Self report & Short Form (CAARS-S:S; Conners, Erhardt & Sparrow, 1999), the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS; Brown & Ryan, 2003) and the Aspects of Identity (AIQ-IV; Cheek, Smith & Tropp, 2002). The results indicated that the relationships among attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, aspects of identity, and mindfulness were significant and positive. The results of path analysis indicated that the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder related to aspects of identity through mindfulness. Relationships between variables were discussed in detail.

The purpose of this study was investigate the relationship betweenidentity aspects with lifesatisfaction in students ofFarhangian University. Participants were 200 Students ( including 121 female and 79 male ) of Farhangian University in Hamedan city who were selected by stratified random sampling In this study used of the Aspects Of Identity Questionnaire –IV and Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (Diener et al,1985). Data was analyzed through descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, t test for independent samples and stepwise regression analysis Results showed there was a significant relationship between identity aspects with life satisfaction. also the stepwise regression analysis showed thatlife satisfaction was predictable from personal identity aspect in male and female groups, but this aspect was stronger predictor in female group. There was no significant difference between male and female in personal, relational, social and collective identity ,but females get higher scores in life satisfaction than males.

The goal of the present study، in framework of a causal model، was to examine the relationship between identity aspects، goal orientations and affective component of happiness. Participants were 530 students (353 girls and 177 boys) selected from Shiraz university. The research instruments included Aspects of Identity Questionnaire (AIQ-TV)، Achievement Goals Questionnaire and positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS). To examine reliability of measures Cronbach alpha coefficient، and to determine the validity، factor analysis method were applied. The hypothetical model tested by sequential simultaneous regression analyses، with use of Baron and Kenny''s (1989) steps. Results of the steps of path analysis showed that Goal orientations could be regarded as mediators between identity aspects and affective component of happiness and personal identity was most powerful mediator between mastery approach (β= 0. 30، p<0. 001) and positive affect (β= 0. 32، p<0. 001).

The issue of identity in many countries, including Iran, is not a single issue and is affected by various sources of identity, which sometimes conflict and interaction with each other has caused concerns; Hence, one can have an identity according to the phenomena through which man knows himself/herself and introduces herself/himself to others. The purpose of this study is to investigate the situation and analysis of the identity network of adolescents of different ethnicities and to understand its complexities, priorities. The present study was conducted to investigate the ratio of identity dimensions among students in Sanandj, Iran. The sample of the study consisted of 400 male and female students studying in Sanandj. The data were collected through questionnaire. The data analysis has been performed by SPSS software and we have used descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and also path analysis techniques. The findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between all identity dimensions, namely ethnic identity, national identity, religious identity and global identity. National identity has the highest relationship, followed by religious identity, global identity and ethnic identity has the least relationship. This relationship is indeed positive and direct. 

The aim of this study was to determine the role of religious commitment and cultural intelligence in the identity of students. The population of this study was all the first junior high school students in Ardabil. Through cluster random sampling, 180 students were selected as the sample. For data collection, we used aspects of identity, religious commitment and cultural intelligence questionnaires. To analyze the data, we applied descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling by the help of SPSS and LISREL. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between religious commitment and cultural intelligence and aspects of identity.

This research was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of implementation of descriptive research of correlation-prediction type and with the aim of predicting the dimensions of identification based on self-esteem and body image of girls. 

The statistical population consisted of all high school students Areas 2 and 12 of Tehran in the 95-96 academic year and the number was 37,856. The sample size was 433 students Klein  Formulation. One-stage random cluster sampling was used. Identity Dimensions Questionnaire Czech and Tropez, Chen and Underwood (1994) - AIQ-IV Fourth Edition, Cooper Smith (1981)Self-Esteem and Multidimensional Body-Self Relationships Questionnaire Kesh(1990) (MBSRQ) were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis. 

Findings showed that the dimensions of girls ' identity based on their self-esteem and body image were predictable. Adolescents girls' self-esteem had a significant positive relationship with their personal identity tendency. Also, all dimensions of identity (personal, communicative, and social) had a significant relationship with the component of body image appearance tendency.

A high level of tendency to appear is associated with a higher level of tendency to social identity. High levels of self-esteem are associated with high levels of a tendency towards personal identity.
