The results showed that among the dimensions of the independent variable, family identity was more important than other dimensions and among the dependent variable, the Sense of life security was more important than other dimensions.;and among the criterion variables, the sense of life security was the most important compared to other dimensions,Finally, the mean of social identity and sense of security variables is slightly higher than average. In a general view, the results of the hypotheses have shown that there is a significant relationship between the research hypotheses; and the dimensions of historical-national identity, family and social identity variable had a significant relationship with the intensity of average with the intensity of security at the level of 0.05, respectively. According to the beta model of regression, the components of the variables of national-historical, religious, urban-neighborhood, family identity at the level of error less than 0.01 had a significant relationship with the dependent variable; and the independent variable and its dimensions have explained about 39.3% of the changes of the dependent variable.
