Background and Aim: The contradiction between tradition and modernity has also challenged the Iranian woman's identity. On the one hand, the traditional values and on the other hand, the modern values have caused the Iranian woman to wander between choosing a traditional identity or a modern identity or a combination of both. The identification of women is effective. In this regard, this research has been conducted with the aim of investigating the sociological and psychological factors influencing the formation of the identity of women in Behbahan city. The issue of identity has always been discussed in Iranian society, because identity is both an important part of human existence and the feeling of belonging and solidarity to the society is possible through identity. Some theorists consider the interference in defining the identity of men and women to be the source of many human problems, what is important in the opinion of thinkers are the factors influencing the formation of identity. It can be said that the elements that make up women's identity consist of elements that create different forms of their identity in different societies. Some of the most important factors are gender, religion, family and other structural factors in society. By combining each of the mentioned elements, three types of patriarchal, patriarchal and human-oriented structures have been formed, and in each of these structures, the type of look and interaction with women is different. In recent decades, as a result of the expansion of modernization and the process of modernization of societies at the global level, there have been changes in the field of human life, which has caused the transformation of social roles and women's awareness of their position in society. The increase in education and employment among women, on the one hand, has led to a decrease in the desirability of the traditional female model, and on the other hand, it has caused a lack of harmony between traditional and new roles, and ultimately led to a crisis of women's identity.
Method: In this research, the library method was used to collect information related to theoretical foundations, and the quantitative method and survey approach were used to collect statistical data. The statistical population of the present study includes all women over the age of 18 in Behbahan city, which according to the statistics obtained from the civil registry office of Behbahan city, totals 53356 people. Considering that the most widely used technique in the survey method is the questionnaire, therefore, the collection tool in this research is the questionnaire. Standard and researcher-made indexing and items were also used to make the questionnaire. In this questionnaire, the questions are closed-ended, and information has been collected in person and electronically. Also, the Likert scale was used to measure the questions. In this study, this work has been done through the method of content validity and formal validity (that is, by referring to common sense and expert judges and related books and topics). In other words, the prepared questionnaire was delivered to various professors and experts in the fields of methodology, statistics and sociology (including supervisors and advisors) and the opinions and views of each of them regarding the indicators and indicators. And the research items were obtained and after summarizing them, the final questionnaire was compiled.
Results: The descriptive findings of the research show that more than half of the women's identity status and their attitude towards female identity is at an average level. The findings of the explanatory results show that the correlation between the independent and dependent variables is 0.37 and the variable of modern socialization has a greater influence on the identity of the studied women with 0.43. According to the analytical findings of multivariate regression, the independent variables of traditional socialization 0.38, religiosity 0.36, modern media use 0.29, modern religiosity 0.22, and traditional religiosity 0.17 influence women's identity, respectively.
Conclusion: From the conducted study, it can be concluded that the identity of the women under study is a modern identity rather than a traditional identity, and the women under study are affected by modern factors rather than being influenced by traditional factors in shaping their identity. This study showed that there is a significant relationship between the traditional socialization of women and the formation of their identity (traditional, modern and integrated). So that the higher the traditional socialization of women, the formation of female identity will be in a better condition. And on the contrary, the lower the level of traditional socialization of women, the lower will be the formation of female identity. The empirical findings of the research indicate that the correlation coefficient of traditional socialization and the formation of women's identity in Behbahan city is the size is 0.38 and traditional socialization can explain the formation of women's identity to the size of 0.38. In fact, there is a moderate correlation between traditional socialization and the formation of women's identity. The results of this research, confirming the fifth hypothesis, showed that traditional socialization will lead to the formation of women's identity.
