Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between identity styles and self-handicapping by canonical correlation analysis.Methodology: The statistical population of the study was high school students in Bojnourd. By multi-stage random sampling, 210 students were selected. Data collection was done with the identity styles questionnaire (Berzonsky, 1992) and the self-management scale (Jones, and Rhodewalt, 1982). Data analysis was done with Pearson correlation coefficient and focal correlation using SPSS.27 software.Results: Findings from the analyses indicated a significant relationship between identity styles and self-handicapping dimensions. The common variance of identity styles and self-handicapping was 28%. In the function of identity styles, informational identity was most important (0.81) and in the function of self-handicapping, it was assigned to claim self-handicapping (-0.99).Conclusion: In general, the processing of identity information can impact the use of self-handicapping strategies, and teenagers with an informational and normative identity and a high identity commitment use less self-handicapping behaviors.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between identity identification styles and self-efficacy with delinquency attitudes in high school students in Gorgan. Methodology: The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population consisted of 2700 students, of which 330 students were selected by simple random sampling using the Brzonsky (1989) style identification questionnaire, Scherer and Maddox general self-efficacy questionnaire (1982) and dynamic delinquency attitude. (2009) answered. Correlation coefficient and regression with SPSS and Lisrel software were used to analyze the data. Findings: Based on the research findings, there is a negative and significant relationship between identification style with a positive attitude towards delinquency (R = -0.96), a positive and significant relationship between identification styles with self-efficacy (R = 0.73) and a negative relationship between self-efficacy and delinquency attitude. And significant (R = -0.71) was obtained. The results of regression analysis indicated that identity and self-efficacy styles can predict some variance of positive attitude towards delinquency (β = 0.96). Structural equations also showed that the model had a good fit from real world data and the effect of self-efficacy variable on the components of delinquency attitude was confirmed and the fit was significant. Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study, identity and self-efficacy styles can be used to reduce attitudes toward delinquency.

Purpose: the aim of this research compare the effectiveness of group counseling with Gestalt therapy and reality therapy on identify style in the first high school students in Tehran. Methodology: Method: The present study was a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included all female students in the first secondary school of public schools in Tehran in the academic year 2009-2010. 45 people were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling method and randomly divided into three groups of 15 people. In this study, the first experimental group received 10 sessions of 90 minutes of Gestalt therapy group counseling training program and the second experimental group received 10 sessions of 90 minutes of reality therapy group counseling training program and the control group did not receive any treatment. The research tool was Brzonsky (1989) Identity Styles Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test and SPSS software version 22. Findings: The results showed that group reality therapy counseling had a greater effect on identity styles than Gestalt therapy. Emphasizing human freedom and responsible behavior, reality therapy seeks to persuade students to identify their values and set goals, actions, barriers, and ultimately a commitment to take action to achieve identity. Therefore, group reality therapy counseling is an effective method in students' identity styles (P˃ 0,001). Conclusion: Based on the research findings, there is a significant difference in identity styles between the first experimental group of Gestalt therapy group counseling, the second experimental group of reality therapy and the control group.
