Globalization of culture is one of the aspects of globalization. It is a dynamic process to which more complexity and concision is added every day. The aim of the current study is to examine the effect of the globalization of culture on the national identity of the students of Yasouj University. The method of research was done through conducting a survey, and the sample size of the study was calculated to be 400 female and male students through the Lin formula, and was done with a random stratified sampling method. The questionnaire included researcher-made and normalized questions. Its validity was measured through face validity, and its reliability through Cronbach’s alpha. The findings showed that the national identity of the people studied was relatively strong. Nevertheless, globalization of culture has an effect on it, in a way that from the 5 hypotheses related to the effect of globalization of culture on national identity, 4 were confirmed. Using the regression of a few variables, the most important independent variables affecting national identity were found to be reading non-domestic texts, consumerism, pluralism and gender. The final result is that about 38% of national identity’s variance was derived from the above variables.

This meta analysis includes 50 articles concerning national identity. These are the main articles which have been introduced by the Bibliography of Social Identity published in 2009. All information of these articles has been extracted by the means of a form comprised of 22 questions. The information was analysed by quantitative and qualitative techniques. The findings indicate that the most of articles have explanatory characteristic, but 90 percent of them do not have any literature review. The dominant paradigms of these articles are reductionistic with superficial qualitative methods. Regarding a few of these articles, the national identity is an old and essential phenomenon, but in the majority of them national identity is a new emergent phenomenon coincided with the process of modernization, globalization and the formation of modern state in Iran. Todays this national identity is changing and getting into crisis. This crisis has been explained differently in these articles. In spite of some weaknesses of these articles such as the theoretical and methodological reductionism, they have some strong points such as paying attention to the historical, cultural, religious, social and political dimensions of national identity, describing and explaining the past, present and the future state of national identity and the process of it׳s changes.
