Identity is one of the most basic human needs. Humans are directly confronted with this issue as soon as they become aware of it, but the important point is the effects of the environmental situation on identity changes. Various factors affect the strengthening and weakening of collective identities. Recognizing these factors and measuring their status at the community level, in addition to being able to predict the future state of collective values, puts identity policy on a more precise and correct path. The present study aimed to predict modern identity based on national, ethnic and religious identity. The research community included all students of Tehran universities who were selected as a sample using 400 multi-stage cluster sampling method. The instrument used in the present study was the National and Social Identity Questionnaire of Solgi et al. Simultaneous correlation and regression were used to analyze the data. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-25 software. The results showed that national, ethnic and religious identities have a positive and significant correlation with modern identities and also national, religious and ethnic identities have the ability to predict modern identities. Therefore, it can be said that modern identity is not a competitor for national, religious and ethnic identity.
