چکیده:
The present study was conducted to determine the role of family efficiency and identity styles in predicting inclination to unusual modes. This research was a survey whose population was B.A. and M.A. students in the Islamic Azad University, Abhar branch, Iran. 180 students were selected through the multiple cluster random sampling. Data collection was done using the questionnaire of family efficiency by Epshtain, Beldwin & Bishab(1982), the questionnaire of identity styles by Berzonesky (1992) and the questionnaire of inclination to modes by Jafari, 2011). Data was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regressions. Results indicated that there was a meaningful relationship between family efficiency and identity styles with tendency to unusual modes and family efficiency. Additionally, normal identity style negatively predicts changes in tendency to unusual modes whereas diffused identity styles positively predict such changes. Normal and diffused identity styles mediate the relationship between family efficiency and inclination to unusual modes. The research results provide some evidence that the interaction of family efficiency and identity styles denotes to more changes in inclination to unusual modes and identity styles increase the role of family efficiency in predicting tendency to unusual modes. Therefore, to decrease inclination of the youth to unusual fashions, one should set the ground for improving and transforming normal identity styles among the youth in addition to strengthening the family efficiency.
خلاصه ماشینی:
180 individuals were selected through multi-stage cluster random sampling, and data were collected using the Epstein, Baldwin, and Bishap family functioning questionnaires, Berzonsky's identity styles questionnaire, and Jafari's fashion tendency questionnaire, and were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression.
Therefore, in order to reduce the tendency of youth towards fashionism, in addition to strengthening family functioning, it is necessary to provide the grounds for improving and transforming the normative identity style of young people.
However, if families have a constructive relationship with children and adolescents, they can transfer various values to them through their feedback; as a result, their children can achieve an organized and coherent identity during adolescence and youth, and it is less likely that children and adolescents raised in such families will later, due to confusion and identitylessness, seek to engage in non-indigenous behaviors such as imitation and role modeling from others (Kipp & Shafer, 2007: 307).
Criterion variable: fashionism The results of Table 3 show a significant relationship between family functioning, normative, informative, and diffuse identity styles and fashionism.
(Refer to page image) As the contents of Table 4 show, family functioning, normative, informative, and diffuse identity styles are related to students' fashionism.
Conclusion The research results showed that there is a significant relationship between family functioning and identity styles with fashionism in students.
Additionally, the research results showed that normative and confused identity seeking styles play a mediating role in the relationship between family functioning and tendency toward fashion.
