According to Krejcie and Morgan table with the possibility of incomplete questionnaires, 270 female students were selected by two-stage cluster sampling metho. The research instruments were Ahmadi's Identity Crisis Questionnaire (1997), Watson & Friend (1969) Avoidance, Social Pressure Scale, and Penner (2002) Social-Friendly Personality Questionnaire. The results were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis and stepwise regression. The results showed that there was a significant negative relationship between prosocial personality and identity crisis and also a significant positive correlation was observed between avoidance and social pressure with identity crisis.
