Abstract


This study was designed to examine the distribution of the University of Shahid Chamran Students’ identities across the four types of identity diffusion, identity foreclosure, identity moritorium and identity achieved. The main hypothesis posited that the students, in general, and male and female students, separately, are distributed differently across the above four types of identity. Chi square analyses confivmed all the hypotheses. The results showed that the hypotheses were confirmed as well for the ideological and interpersonal dimensions were also confirmed. The findings were discussed according to Erickson’s and Marcia’s views.
