The aim of present research was to study and comparison of identity styles of Shahed adolescent students and its related factors. In this research 366 students between 12-18 years old were selected from Tehran Shahed schools through stratified random sampling method. Data was collected by Identity Styles Inventory (ISI), Adolescence Coping Scale (ACS), and Family Functioning Scale (FFS). Results indicated that: (1) there are any significant differences between male and female students in identity styles except in diffuse/avoidant style, (2) the significant relationship was found between age, family functioning components and identity styles, and (3) a relationship was observed between coping and identity styles. Results showed that identity formation in Shahed adolescents is the same as with other adolescents. In other hand, good affective relationship among family members can be influence in successful identity formation.

Optimism is one of the personality traits which have an important role in preventing depression. With respect to high prevalence of depression in adolescence and with taking the important role of parents in development of their children personality traits, the aim of this research was to study the relationship between parents' personality traits and level of optimism and level of optimism of their adolescent children . The sample included 384 high school students (203 girls and 181 boys) in Tehran city during the academic year of 1386-1387 with their parents. The participants completed the revised life orientation test (Carver and Scheier, 1994) and the short form of personality traits questionnaire (Mc. Crea and Costa, 1992). The results indicate that there is a positive and meaningful relation between parents' level of optimism and their adolescent children level of optimism. Findings also indicate that there is a meaningful relation between some of parents' personality traits such as: fathers' extraversion, fathers' neuroticism, mothers' neuroticism, mothers agreeableness , fathers' agreeableness, and fathers' consciousness' and children level of optimism. But no meaningful relation were found between mothers extraversion, mothers openness, fathers openness and mothers consciousness' and children level of optimism. There was also no meaningful difference between girls and boys level of optimism
