Abstract Introduction: Identity and moral norms appear to play significant roles in predicting various behaviors. This study aims to predict the behavioral intention to donate blood based on moral norms and the mediating role of identity among blood donors in Tehran.  Method: A total of 316 blood donors were selected from four blood transfusion centers in Tehran between 1399 and 1400 (2020–2021). The sample included 194 women, 122 men, and 207 individuals with a history of blood donation, with an average age of 31.41 years. Using a convenience non-random sampling method, data were collected using Berzonsky's Identity Style Inventory (Berzonsky, 1989) and a researcher-developed moral norms questionnaire (1399). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with AMOS 21.0 software.  Results: The correlation coefficients between behavioral intention to donate blood and moral norms (0.15) and identity (0.28) were significant. The direct, indirect, and total effects of moral norms, as well as the direct effect of identity on behavioral intention to donate blood, were significant at the 0.01 level (B = 0.21, 0.10, 0.31, and 0.18, respectively).  Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of identity and moral norms in motivating individuals to donate blood. These factors should be considered in strategies aimed at encouraging voluntary blood donation.  

Abstract Introduction: Today, virtual space as a new phenomenon has a wide impact on the dimensions of people's lives in the family and has caused many changes among them. Since the family is the fundamental foundation of society and the main focus of maintaining social norms and values, therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of the amount and type of virtual space use on the family's identity and values.
Method: To this end, 46 related types of research between 2011 and 2021 (19 research on the type of use, 27 types of research on the amount of use) that met the necessary criteria to enter the meta-analysis were selected, and they were analyzed using the comparative (correlation) method of meta-analysis software.
Findings: The research findings showed that the type of use of virtual space, in general, does not have a significant effect on the values and identity of the family, while the amount of use of virtual space according to the interpretive table of Cohen's size can moderately (0/313) affect the identity and Family values are practical and reduce it. (P <0/05).
Conclusion: Based on this, it can be said that more than the type of use of virtual space affects the values and identity of the family, the amount of its use leads to the decline of the identity and values of the family to a moderate extent.

Abstract Introduction: As the youth period extends, numerous students are involved with various issues in the identity process which affects diverse aspects of their life satisfaction. This research was conducted to analyze the latent profile of undergraduate students' identity dimensions and their relationship with their life satisfaction. Method: The method of this study was a descriptive-correlation type of latent profiles analysis using MPLUS software. MPLUS is a latent variable modeling program that reduces continuous or categorical variables to limited subgroups. Likewise, the one-way ANOVA method was used to compare students' life satisfaction among latent clusters. The statistical population of the research was all undergraduate students of Tabriz University and 375 of these students were selected as a sample using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Data were collected using Scales of Saffarinia and Roshan's Social Identity (2010), Bell's Religious Identity (2009), Aquino and Reed's Moral Identity (2002), and Satisfaction with Life of Diener et al. (1985). Results: The results of the latent profiles analysis led to the identification of six identity profiles, and the results of the variance analysis revealed that the life satisfaction of students according to the identity dimensions is different (P<0.01), in such a way that the achieved identity cluster had the highest and the diffusion identity cluster, had the lowest level of life satisfaction. Conclusion: Using the person-centered approach, the results of the research offer a new perspective for understanding the identity dimensions of students, which can predict life satisfaction and provide interventions according to each identity dimension.

Abstract Introduction: This research aimed to look at the impact of academic success and identity on Internet addiction, with depression acting as a moderator. In terms of design and descriptive-correlation method, the applied form was the least partial least squares, and the research method was structural equation modeling. Methods:The statistical population consisted of all students at Tehran universities, and the sample size was 323 people using a random sampling system. Brzonsky (1992) Identity Styles, Chen Internet Addiction (2011), Zhong Depression (1968), and Academic Performance questionnaires were used to gather research results. Results: According to the findings of structural equation modeling, academic success and identity explained 25% of the variance in depression and 32% of the variance in Internet addiction. Identity styles and academic success have a substantial negative impact on students' Internet addiction, while loneliness has a significant positive effect. Conclusion. Depression acts as a moderator in the relationship between personality forms and academic success and students' Internet addiction

Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to assess the distribution and relationship between individual and social identity status among students in Tehran universities. The research sample consisted of 524 students from undergraduate to a specialized doctorate as well as professional doctorates in various fields of medicine, engineering and humanities who were randomly selected in clusters and were studying in Tehran universities in 2017-2018. .In this research, the.  Method: Method of surveywas used. Two questionnaires of individual identity (Adams and Social Identity Questionnaire (researcher-made) were used as research tools.Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and stepwise regression analysis. Findings: The results showed that deferred identity is the first identity of students (boys and girls) of Tehran universities. The strongest predictor of students' social identity is suspended identity. This variable alone predicted 14.7% of the variance of students' social identity scores. The two variables of suspended and disturbing identity predicted 25.4% of the variance of social identity. They predicted a total of 26.6% of the variance of social identity. Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that students' personal identity status has a significant effect on social identity and its dimensions, and therefore attention to the healthier formation of their individual identity can be a necessity.
