The problem of personal identity among others may stem from the following question—what does be the person that you are, from one day to the next, necessarily consist of? The diachronic problem of personal identity raises question on the necessary and sufficient conditions for the identity of the person over time. The synchronic problem is grounded in the question of what features or traits characterize a given person at one time. To answer these questions, John Locke discarded the soul and the body as necessary and sufficient substances for personal identity over time. He accepted consciousness as the only criterion for personal identity; the only thing capable of remaining the same and preserving personal identity through change. Though Locke’s argument is somewhat clear and coherent but what remains vague and incoherent is embedded in the question—what exactly is consciousness? How and why should it be the basis or criterion for the determination of personal identity? Using the method of critical analysis, I argue that Locke’s choice of consciousness as the determinant of personal identity, though quite novel, is incoherent and vague. Secondly, Locke had already presumed and anticipated clearly though fallaciously the very thing he wishes to substantiate. I therefore conclude that Locke’s argument is just another way of trying to escape but inadvertently prolonging the difficulty of apparently articulating a distinction between the psychological approach and physiological approach to the problem of personal identity. However, in my submission, I propose the concept of the “other” as alternative approach— a sort of an extrinsic-intrinsic approach to the problem of personal identity.

Three questionnaires are used in this research while their justifiability and reliability are confirmed: Aniti (corporate identity), Kumb (security leadership) and Gregory C Petty (work ethics). The descriptive and inference statistical variable are used in data analysis: frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation in descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient in statistical inference. The results show the significant effect of corporate identity and security leadership on the work ethics.

The aim of this study was to investigate the leadership style of the servant in predicting athletic identity of the students in Islamic Azad University. 296 subjects participated in this study who 53. 72% of them were male (N=159) and 46. 28% of them were female (N=137). The mean age of the subjects was 22. 85 years. Measuring instruments were included organizational servant leadership Revolution LOB and Sports identity. Linear regression indicated that servant leadership style could predict sports identity, monopoly, self-identity, negative impact, positive affect, internal components of sport identity and external components of sport identity (P≤ 0. 05). On the other hand, servant leadership style could not predict the social identity of the students (P≥ 0. 05). Therefore, it is suggested that physical education instructors in the universities consider sports identity as an important social structure. In addition, by discovering the dimensions that affect it, take significant steps in this regard and can result in more sports contribution in students.

The statistical population of the research was all second year high school students of Kashan city in the academic year of 1400-1401, of which 500 people were selected by random cluster method. Data were collected based on three questionnaires: Gross & Jan (2003) Emotional Regulation Inventory, Identity Style Scale (6G-ISI) and Collins and Reid (1990) Attachment Style Questionnaire.

Based on the results, secure attachment style at a significance level of 0.01, avoidant attachment style at a significance level of 0.05, and ambivalent attachment style at a significance level of 0.01 directly predicted emotion regulation. Among the three attachments, secure attachment style predicted emotion regulation at a significant level of 0.01, with the mediation of identity styles. Informational identity style at a significance level of 0.01, confused identity style at a significance level of 0.05 directly predicted emotion regulation. Among the three attachments, only the secure attachment style at a significance level of 0.01 had a significant role in predicting the normative identity style. According to the results of this study, emotion regulation is one of the most important constructs of educational psychology and an important factor in determining mental health and successful performance. It is in education that the factors affecting emotion regulation and its antecedents should be identified.
