“…It was found that SES has a significant effect on parental control. Members of higher SES perceived lower level of authoritarian control from their parents and this finding is consistent with other studies as well (e.g., Gecas, 1979;Heimer, 1997;Heydari et al, 2013;Kohn, 1977;Kohn & Schooler, 1969). In addition, authoritarian parental control can lead to the feeling of anomie.…”

Despite some scientific research on suicide as one of the most serious social and mental health problems in Iran, there is still lack of research on the effective structural and socio-familial factors contributing to the issue in Iran. The purpose of this study is to investigate some of the effective variables conditioning suicidality while also establishing a synthetic model. Three hundred-fifty university students (165 males, 185 females) were randomly chosen from Shahid Chamran University, Ahvaz, Iran. The participants were asked to complete a package of self-report questionnaires including subjective socioeconomic status (SES), feeling of anomie, perceived parental control, and suicidality. The results show that all correlations among variables are significant. For testing the theoretical model, results of standardized regression coefficients suggest that SES has direct effect on suicidality and indirect effect via anomie and parental control. In addition, parental control has direct effects on suicidality and indirect effect via anomie as well. The findings confirm the expected paths hypothesized among variables which are consistent with the theories of Durkheim, Merton, Kohn, and Agnew. It implies that the development of suicidality takes place within socioeconomic context through the influence of parental control and feeling of anomie.

“…People of middle and lower SES experience more dissatisfaction in anomic conditions since they have limited resources compared to the upper classes. Similar relationships between anomie and SES have been reported in other studies (Bell, 1957;Heydari, 2010;Heydari et al, 2012Heydari et al, , 2013Lee & Clyde, 1974;Menard, 1995;Mizruchi, 1960;Rushing, 1971;Teevan, 1975).…”

“…Similarly, insecure parent-child attachment is also more common in lower SES families and promotes authoritarian traits in children (Oesterreich, 2005;Owens-Sabir, 2007;Weber & Federico, 2007). Research in Iran also suggests that both parenting style and authoritarian patterns are widespread in lower SES Iranian families (for a review see Heydari et al, 2013).…”

This study examines the relation of dimensions of ethnocentrism with socio-structural factors such as socioeconomic status (SES), feelings of anomie, and authoritarianism. Using clustered sampling, 500 students were selected from ten high schools in Ahvaz, Iran. Results of structural equation modeling showed that SES has a direct positive effect on ethnocentrism and an indirect effect through anomie and authoritarianism. Similarly, anomie mediates the effect of SES on authoritarianism. Anomie was found to have an indirect effect on dimensions of ethnocentrism via authoritarianism. Findings confirmed the proposed conceptual path model, which is consistent with findings from other countries. The influence of feelings of anomie in the model is highlighted since it has a very important effect on dimensions of ethnocentrism.

“…Five criminology and sociology experts confirmed the face validity of the scale and internal reliability of .83 was also obtained (Heydari et al, 2012). In addition, the scale was shown to have significant relationships with external source of moral reasoning (Teymoori et al, 2012), perceived parental control (Heydari et al, 2013), ethnocentrism (Heydari et al, in press), and anomie and socioeconomic status (Heydari et al, 2012), which is consistent with the literature and confirms the content validity of the scale.…”

The authors' purpose is to investigate the relationship between religiosity, authoritarianism, and moral authority by considering religiosity as a multidimensional construct and morality from its sources of influence. Religiosity, authoritarianism, and moral authority scales were applied to a sample of 109 students from one high school and one university college in Semirom city in the province of Isfahan, Iran. Results showed that religious beliefs, feelings and consequences are related to external sources but only religious beliefs and feelings correlate with the principal source of moral authority. Findings also demonstrated a significant relationship between religious consequences and authoritarianism, and that their combination significantly predicts the external source of moral authority. Findings are discussed in relation to previous studies and we argue that previous conclusions about the authoritarian tendency of religious people and their reliance on external sources of moral reasoning are mostly about the religious consequences dimension.
