Abstract
"Bericolage identity" is one of the issues that people will be afflicted to because of the value conflicts and the upcoming norms as well as customs in the present society. Therefore, this article wants to study the influential factors regarding “bericolage identity” among students.
This study is a survey research using random sampling and research-made questionnaire that its validity and reliability has been measured through content validity and Cronbach alpha respectively. The population of the study is technology students in BabolUniversity in 2012. The sample size is 250 individuals.
The results indicated that there has been a statistically meaningful/significant difference between the occupational status of the students and the “bericolage identity”. On the other hand, there exists no statistically meaningful/significant difference among gender, marital status, and place of birth, place of residence and the level of education among participants. Moreover, the achieved result out of the Pearson Correlation Coefficient has revealed that there is a statistically direct and meaningful/significant correlation between the amount of utilization of mass media and bericolage identity. Nonetheless, there is a statistically reverse and meaningful/significant difference between their mothers` level of education and bericolage identity. So with regard to the above point, there is no meaningful/significant correlation among age, students` income, family income. Finally, the regression analysis illustrated that three variables of mother education, the occupational level of students, and marital status respectively expatiated the 19.7 percent variance of bericolage identity.
