Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the relationship of value system and moral development with identity in students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, in the academic year of
1998-1999. Value system and moral development are considered as the predictive variables, while identity serves as the criterion variable. The sample consisled of 279 undergraduates (sophomere and higher) of whom 141 were female and 138 were male. The instruments used consisted of the Study of Values Inventory, the Defining Issues Test (DIT) and Ahmadi’s Identity Inventory. The analysis of the data yielded statistically significant simple correlation coefficients between theoretical, social, religious, and economic values and moral development on the one hand, and identity on the other. The results of the regression analysis showed that the linear combination of the six values plus the moral development increased the extent of the correlation with identity. Moreover, the results of the stepwise regression analysis indicated that economic value and moral development are the best predictors of identity
