Relationship between National and Ethnic Identities of Azari, Kurd and Arab Students in the State Universities of Iran

National and ethnic identities are very serious subjects in the late decades especially in countries that have many minorities. There are many factors that influence these subjects, but globalization is very important in this process. Some researchers believe that ethnicity and ethnic identities have inevitably grown in globalization process, but the other researchers disagreed with this idea, and believe that perhaps we will witness national solidarity and national identity stronger than past, and individuals have combined identity and there isn't any conflict between national and ethnic identities. The main objective of present research is the study of relationship between national and ethnic identities of Azari, Kurd and Arab students in the state universities at 1387 and relation between both identities (national and ethnic) with ''relative deprivation" feeling. The sample size of this survey was 687. In general, the results showed that there is a positive and medium relationship between "national and ethnic identities" and there isn't conflict between them. Also findings showed that there is a negative and high relation between "national identity" and "relative deprivation feeling" and there is a positive and low relation between "ethnic identity" and" relative deprivation feeling".
