The present article is extracted from a PhD thesis entitled “Investigating Factors Affecting Social Anomie among Urban Families and its Consequences (Case Study: City of Tehran)”. In metropolises such as Tehran, the presence of various urban groups originating from different ethnicities has resulted in cultural conflict in a variety of social institutions. Cultural conflicts and dissociations are more apparent in such institutions as the family. Accordingly, due to cultural incompatibility and lack of a normative consensus, families belonging to the same economic class or members of a single family often choose different and sometimes illegitimate tools to pursue a certain goal. This situation is most significantly manifested by the prevalence of deprivation, pessimism, distrust, and discontent, all of which are major components of anomie. This study is mainly focused on investigating factors contributing to anomie among urban families and its consequences for the urban fabric and family in Tehran. The findings would be of great help in addressing different socio-cultural issues of this metropolis, which was selected as the case study. The results showed that lack of a normative consensus within families and cultural conflicts and clashes common in multi-ethnic societies are the main causes of anomie among families.
