Background. This study examines the factor structure, reliability and test-retest validity of the 12-item Iranian version of the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM). Additionally, the MEIM's concurrent validity was tested by investigating the association between ethnic identity and subjective well-being.Method. The scale was translated into Persian language and was administered to 426 students (193 female) at a major public university in Tehran along with the Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale.Results. The confirmatory factor analysis supported the two-factor first-order commitment, and exploration -consisting of 12 items, and the second-order unidimensional factor structure of general ethnic identity. Moreover, we found evidence for good internal consistency, test re-test reliability, and concurrent validity. Conclusion.The MEIM Persian version was found to be a valid and reliable measure to examine ethnic identity in this Iranian student population, for both males and females. These results support the utility of the Persian version of the MEIM for its use in middle-eastern contexts.

Studying the Iranian Kurdish question reveals the importance of the geopolitical location of the Kurdish region, which has left a massive impact on the framework and capability of the contemporary Kurdish national movement. Aware of this fact, different ruling regimes of Iran, considering territorial threats associated with the Kurdish nationalistic movement, implemented different policies of systematic “demographic engineering,” aimed at reducing the capability of the Kurdish claim for autonomy. Some aspects of the policy of demographic engineering implemented during the Safavid and the Pahlavi dynasties have been examined. Based on this, the article argues that the geopolitical location of the Kurdish region, as a buffer zone between the Ottoman and Safavid dynasties, has diminished and continues to undermine the capability of the Kurdish struggle for autonomy in Iran.

“…In this regard, over different eras, political leaders have tried to promote the common aspects of the Iranian culture as opposed to different cultures of ethnic groups within the country. Quite often this has led to the negligence or even suppression of ethnic communities ( Amanolahi, 2005 ; Saleh, 2013 ). The national media in Iran, for instance, mostly promulgates the Persian and Shi’i values and culture while the global media emphasizes cultural integration and globalization ( Gulyas, 2017 ; Saleh, 2013 ).…”

“…Indeed, modernization and globalization tendencies have, in certain ways, notably blurred the distinctive characteristics of different ethnic groups. Studies show that, although in recent years there have been several measures taken in Iran to appreciate ethnic differences, for example by teaching Kurdish and Turkish language courses at certain universities, there is still a long way to go before satisfactory conditions are created, where all Iranian ethnicities and sub-cultures are respected and appreciated ( Gulyas, 2017 ; Saleh, 2013 ).…”
