摘要:Abstract According to family systems theory differentiation of self is a highly important psychological construct that provides a framework for understanding how the quality of the parent-child relation plays an important role in family member's experiences of stress and anxiety. This study examined the relationship between differentiation of self and aspects of identity. For this purpose, two hundred (100 male, 100 female, 28 missing) students from University of Tehran were participated in this study. All Participants were completed the Differentiation of Self Inventory (DSI) and Aspect of Identity Questionnaire-IV (AIQ-IV). Correlation analyses showed that the aspects of differentiation of self (Emotional Reactivity, Emotional Cut-Off and Fusion with Others and I-Position) were negatively associated with aspects of identity (collective Identity (CI) Orientation, Personal Identity (PI) Orientation, Social Identity (SI) Orientation and Relational Identity (RI) Orientation). Regression analyses showed that fusion with others can predict relational identity and social identity. It can be concluded that aspects of differentiation of self will influence aspects of identity. Implications of these findings are discussed.
