Abstract
The current research is designed and implemented with the aim of investigating the identity conflicts and political socialization of women based on Giddens' theory of identity and Lucien Pai's political socialization. The statistical population of this research is all working women in Tehran, Kurdistan, Lorestan, Ilam, Fars, Sistan and Baluchistan, Khorasan and Central provinces. To select the samples, the combined method of multi-stage cluster sampling and simple random sampling was used. Correlation coefficients, path analysis and regression were used to analyze the data. The results of the research showed that 47 percent of the studied women have experienced personal identity conflict to a great extent. Also, the findings indicate that women who have identity conflicts are more politically socialized than women who have not experienced identity conflicts. They have a different situation and the level of political socialization is higher in women who have not experienced identity conflicts. The results of multivariate regression and path analysis showed; Individual identity conflicts have the greatest effect on women's lack of political socialization. The conclusion of the article is; Women in Iranian society are in a conflict between traditional identity structures and modern demands and political agency, and in this process, a kind of political rejection has been created for them. In other words, it can be said that today's Iranian society is facing the phenomenon of "conflicting women's political life".
