This article presents research-based evidence to examine the patterns and determinants associated with the ethnic and religious differentials of gender attitudes. The article employs the model suggested by Egmond et al. (2010) in order to measure gender attitudes. The analysis is also based on a survey conducted in Bojnourd including a sample of 470 males and female aged 15 and over. The sample includes five major ethnic groups (Tat, Tourk, Tourkaman, Kourd, and Fars) and two major sects of the Islamic religion (Shi’i and Sunni). The underlying conclusion of this analysis emphasizes two key points: the convergence of non-traditional gender attitudes across ethnic and religious groups, the importance of male-female differences in order to better understanding the ethnic and religious differentials of gender attitudes.

This essay discusses the impact of Persian creation myth on the formation of national identity in Iran during of the history. Persian myths have an important role in Iranian identity formation in Iranian territorial boundaries. In Persian creation myth, Iranian territories have been located in the center of the world and Iran has been introduced as the sacred ground and the best territory. Iranian territories in Persian creation myth usually consist of the Iranian plateau is the Soghd region (Central Asia) to Damascus area, the distance from China to the Mediterranean or from the Oxus to Euphrates. Drawing such picture of Iran in Persian creation myth, has led to the accumulation of concept of Iran territory (Ērānshahri concept) in the Iraniaan people mind in various historical periods and in this way helped to creation and continuation of national identity in Iran. This Ērānshahri concept provided the territory element for formation of Nation-State of Iran according modern theories of identity.

The author of the present article has investigated political protest from a sociological point of view and its connection with relative deprivation from a psychological viewpoint in an interdisciplinary study. In the present research quantitative and qualitative research methods have been used, and survey, interview and documentary study techniques have been employed. The statistical population in the quantitative method is the university students of Tehran universities in 2010. However, in order to complete data and gain a deeper view of university students, 20 interviews were conducted with students who had been convicted due to participation in political protests. The results show a high potential for political protest actions and a sense of relative deprivation in the interviewees, and these two variables show a significant association. It should be noted that this study was conducted among university students in Tehran, a city with the highest amount of protests, in 2010 in the heat of the political protests. Therefore, the results belong to critical circumstances, and are not generalizable to the current situation or other social classes and cities.
