“…Traditionally, relationship patterns in Iran have been strongly influenced by religious and cultural expectations, with legal and societal constructs that promote early, lifelong marital commitments and low levels of divorce (Asghari, 2019). Yet young Iranians, particularly women, fight the pressure and marry later, divorce more frequently, stop having children earlier, or simply choose not to marry (Erfani & McQuillan, 2008), trends that were at the center of the recent Iranian demonstrations (Molana et al, 2023).…”

This article underscores the importance of recognizing the diversity and intricacy of singlehood and transcending a simplistic view of singles as a monolithic group. By adopting an intersectional approach, researchers can obtain a deeper understanding of singles' experiences and identify their unique needs. Moreover, this understanding has profound implications for social justice endeavors, as singles may encounter compounded discrimination and necessitate deliberate communities and social policies that support them. Specifically, we advance here a four‐fold argument. First, singlehood should not only be viewed as a demographic characteristic but also as a chosen status and identity. In turn, researchers must acknowledge divisions such as race, gender, class, and sexuality within this overarching category. Third, intersectionality must be analyzed in its compound and intricate effects, as singlehood intertwines with other categories in distinct ways. Fourth, this carries far‐reaching implications, and intersectionality can serve as a critical praxis that informs social justice initiatives.

“…Beyond religious differences, the sociopolitical context of this particular sample must also be considered as a potential explanation for the current findings. During the recruitment period (i.e., November 2022 to January 2023), Iran was affected by nationwide protests and civil unrest regarding a woman's death in custody (Molana et al, 2023). These events marked the most widespread revolt the country had witnessed in over four decades, which resulted in the deaths of many residents, including minors.…”

Research across various psychology disciplines underscores death anxiety as a significant construct. Numerous tools assess death anxiety, but many have questionable psychometric properties. To address these shortcomings, the Death Anxiety Beliefs and Behaviours Scale (DABBS) was developed, which also assesses death-related maladaptive beliefs and behaviours that could be foundational to fears associated with death. We developed a Persian version of the DABBS, and examined its psychometric properties among Iranian adolescents (n = 598, Mage = 14.80, range = 12-18 years old). Confirmatory factor analyses supported the intended three-factor structure that distinguishes between death-related affect, beliefs, and behaviours. Furthermore, the DABBS demonstrated good internal consistency, as well as expected associations with other measures of death anxiety and psychopathology measures. Notably, one subscale (i.e., Behaviours) unexpectedly did not relate to theoretically-relevant constructs. Our findings indicate that the DABBS has strong psychometric properties among adolescents and can be used with this population.

“…Under the slogan of “woman, life, freedom,” women protested in Iran against the imposition of the veil and more generally for women's self‐determination (Asadi Zeidabadi, 2023; Malekpour, 2021; Salehi et al., 2020). As Molana et al., 2023 argue: “these demonstrations are not erupting solely from resistance to compulsory hijab, but rather decades of intersectional organizing against the confluence of gender injustice, economic precarity, and socio‐political grievances, with women at the vanguard, fighting for the most basic of human rights” (2023, p. 2). As we can see, women's resistance in Iran against the compulsory wearing of the veil holds together the elements of gender, religion, class, race, and colonialism.…”

The review article explores the concept of intersectionality within feminist movements from a global perspective. First, it reconstructs the origins of the concept. Second, it summarizes the main critical debates. Third, it gives an overview on the new wave of feminist movements, by exploring the way several movements from the North to the Global South have actively engaged with the concept of intersectionality into action. Finally, the article discusses opportunity and threats in the diffusion of the concept, both in the academic debate and in the field of collective action. The main takeaways of the article are: the emergence of the concept of intersectionality within the activism of women of color and Black feminism; the role of intersectionality as a critical analysis of power structures; the intersectional character of the new wave of feminist movements; the risks associated with the diffusion of the concept of intersectionality; the bleaching of intersectionality; and the co‐opting and depowering of the concept in an increasingly aggressive neo‐liberal order.
