Abstract
Ethnic identity can bring the experience of well-being, security, social capital, and development to a multicultural society. Thus, this research examines the social process of ethnic identity formation in female students of Sistan and Baluchistan University. This qualitative research was conducted using grounded theory methodology. Among the female students of Sistan and Baluchistan University, 18 people were selected by theoretical sampling method to achieve data saturation. Participant information was collected by semi-structured interview tool and analyzed by Strauss and Corbin method.
The central phenomenon is "internalization and externalization of ethnic identity" that extracted of the core categories include "culturalization of inter-ethnic interactions","the construction of a certain ethnic identity from another" and "ethnic feelings". The paradigm model shows that the ethnic identity of girls arises in the context of family, educational, and virtual interactions and can lead to different consequences of emotional bonds between ethnic groups, separation between ethnic groups, and feelings of ethnocentrism.Therefore, it is recommended to institutionalize an egalitarian and participatory approach and method in organizations and social institutions with different ethnic groups.
