A sample of 500 persons was selected randomly among men and women aged 18 and over living in Bojnourd. The results showed that among the tested variables only two variables of religion and gap generation have significant relationship with ancient nationalism and the other variables have no significant relationship. Also, among the tested variables, only the relationship between the two variables of gap generation and educational level with religious nationalism is significant. Civil nationalism had no significant relationship with any of the variables tested. The relationship between ethnicity, socioeconomic status, educational level and gender was also significant and other variables had no significant relationship with ethnicity. At the end, it can be said that the tendency towards civil nationalism is the first and foremost priority of the people of Bojnourd, and then ancient nationalism and religious nationalism are their next priorities. There is also a weak and positive relationship between ethnicism and the three trends of Iranian nationalism
