Unlike the first modern era that "self" was established and identified at the level of nation states; today, globalization and deterritorialization have led to some sort of fluidity of social identification. In this situation, one of the most important scientific and policy making challenges is the discussion of the relationship between the national and the global social identifications and the degree individuals of any society feel belong and commit to each of these domains. The present paper has investigated the prominence and correlation of national and global collective identities among Lors students of Yasouj university in 1394- 95 educational year. From this population, based on Line’s sampling formula, 400 students were selected as the samples for the study. To reach a representative sample, the multi stage stratified sampling method was used. The research results showed that the respondents has known national literature and poety and western dress style as the most prominent components of the national and global identities respectively. They have had the most commitment and attachment to the national and global identities respectively. The correlation between the identities was significantly negative. According to the results, and considering the empirical and theoretical literature of the research, it can be said if we consider these identities as containing various components, the respondents act "selectively" in choosing every item related to the national and global identities and the relationship among these identities is not the conflictual/ coexistental kind of relationship. Inversely, if we consider the collective identities as the seperate solidarity and consolidated totalities, their relationship is based on the conflict, suppression/ ressistance one.
