Students adherence to the social, cultural and national identity and impressionability of the soft war

In recent years, the expansion of soft war dimensions has exacerbated the destructive cultural and social effects on the behavior of people and the soft war aims to change the religious, cultural, indigenous and national identity of the people. This study has investigated the relationship between national, social and cultural identity and impressionability of soft war based on personality traits and religious orientation. The present research is descriptive-correlational study. The Scale of evaluating the soft war psychological vulnerability, national identity, social identity and cultural identity Questionnaire, Five-factor model of personality and religious orientation were distributed among the participants to respond. Results indicated that there is a relationship between identity dimensions and impressionability of soft war, so that there was a negative correlation between cultural, social and national identity with dimensions of the soft war. Also assessment of the relationship between personality traits with impressionability of soft war showed a negative correlation between five-factor model of personality and dimensions of soft war, however, only the correlation between conscientious and cultural dimension of soft war was significant (p<0.05). It seems that identity and religious orientation variables compared with the dimensions of personality play a greater role in identifying and predicting the impressionability of the soft war.
