Abstract

The purpose of the research has been investigating cultural-psychological factors related to the students’ attitude towards social transitions. The statistical population has been the secondary school students in Yasouj city in 1399-1400 that their total number was 8529 students, among them, based on Cochran’s sampling formula, 368 individuals were selected as the research sample. Cluster sampling proportional to volume was used for accessing the sample. Independent and dependent variables of the research, respectively, were gender, normative pressure, familial cultural capital and self- confidence; and preferring social transitions (entrance to the labor market, education and get marriage). Based on the research findings the two most important preferred social transitions of girls, boys and their parents were educational and entrance to labor market respectively. The correlation of the variables of family’s cultural capital and self- confidence with educational transition has been positive and significant; and their correlation with transition to marriage and entrance to labor work was negatively significant. Among all of the research variables the normative pressure has had the most positive effect, respectively, on the transition to marriage (beta=./45) and the entrance to labor market (beta=./28). Results of the research show that there are a kind of gender resemblance among students’ preferred transition; and also, a kind of de standardization of social transition has been emerged. Thus, increasing cultural capital and self- confidence has provided context for increasing students’ tendency towards continuing education as a modern transition; but, in contrast, continuation of the normative pressure lead sample individual’s preferred transition towards choosing the more traditional transitions such as marriage and entrance to the labor market.
