Abstract

Tendency towards NEW RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS (NRMs) amongst the young UNIVERSITY STUDENTS in Iran, in spite of sovereignty of religious government, is a new phenomenon which deserves an exact study. The present study seeks to describe the tendency rate towards NRMs among UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, as well as to explore some social correlates of it. Survey method is used for conducting the study. By means of multi-stage sampling procedure, 400 students of all state universities located in the Tehran city have been selected randomly, to fill up the self-administered questionnaire which consists to some scales regarding tendency towards NMRs, RELIGIOSITY, and ETHNIC IDENTITY. The results of the study show that 9.4 percent of UNIVERSITY STUDENTS reported high tendency towards NRMs, as compared with 41.7 percent of them who had declared low tendency. The analyses of data indicate that the highest tendency towards NMRs has reported by those students who were unmarried, were studying in the faculties of Fine Arts and Humanities.belonged to Lor, Turk, and Kurd ethnic groups, engaged in a part-time job, and their parents were originated from higher social class. Furthermore, a non-significant gender difference i! l tendency towards NMRs is found, namely; female as compared with male students, had reported higher tendency towards NMRs. Finally, results of correlation coefficients showed that there were significant, reverse correlations between tendency towards NMRs with the degree of RELIGIOSITY as well as tendency of students towards ETHNIC IDENTITY.These findings emphasize on more attention to NRMs and its dimensions in Iran, particularly by scholars, researchers, and policy makers.
