        The identity in many countries, including Iran, is not a single category and it is influenced by various sources of identity, whose conflict with each other sometimes cause concerns. The purpose of this study is to investigate the situation and analyze the identity resources of teenagers of different ethnicities and understand its complexities so that we can achieve the society's understanding of Iranian identity patterns among teenagers. For this purpose, the theories that emphasize the issue of identity from the perspective of compositional approach as well as the perspective of symbolic interaction were selected as the theoretical framework of the research in the analysis of the identity resources of teenagers. The research method in this research is a quantitative approach using a survey technique, the data collection tool is a questionnaire, and the statistical population is teenagers from the cities of Zahedan, Ahvaz, Urmia, Sanandaj, and Gorgan. In this study, the statistical sample includes 2000 people. After collecting the information, the research data were analyzed through a questionnaire using SPSS, Amos software at two levels of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. According to the findings of this study, apart from national identity, gender is effective in other dimensions, and the dimensions of global identity are higher among teenage girls than teenage boys, and the ethnic and religious dimensions of identity are higher among boys than among girls. From these findings, it can be concluded that girls have a higher tendency towards modernity than boys, and social and ethnic structures are stronger in boys' role-playing and sociability.
