Abstract:
The aim of the present research is to determine and compare the parent-child relationship of high school female students with identity crisis and without identity crisis. The research method is descriptive-comparative, and the study population includes all female high school students in Kazerun city who were studying in the 83-84 academic year. Using cluster random sampling, Kazerun was first divided into 5 parts, and then one school was randomly selected from each part, resulting in the selection of 450 individuals. The Personal Identity Test questionnaire by Ahmadi (1378) and the Parent-Child Relationship test by Mark E. Fine, B. Moreland, and Schoppe (1983) were completed by them. The findings showed that among these samples, based on the results of the Personal Identity Test questionnaire, students with an evident identity crisis were identified, numbering 60, and 60 students without an identity crisis, matched with them in terms of age and socio-economic status, were selected as the statistical sample. The research results showed a difference between the two groups of students in terms of identity crisis. Conclusion: Students with an identity crisis generally have a weaker relationship with their parents compared to students without an identity crisis.

Keywords: Crisis, students, relationship, child-parent, identity Received article: 2008/07/31; Received final version: 2009/01/09; Accepted article: 2009/08/03 Introduction Erikson has defined the sense of having an identity as follows: a dynamic and self-constructed organization of drives, abilities, beliefs, and personal history in the form of a cohesive and independent "self" that guides the course of an individual's developing life (Montgomery, 2005).
Erikson believes that parents, peers, and teachers have a fundamental importance in describing roles, and the concept of self in adolescence requires letting go of the mirror perception of oneself toward a more independent and individual identity.
