Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to examine the social factors and the perception of positive consequences after divorce on consensual divorce from the perspective of divorce applicants. Its method was descriptive-analytical and hybrid data collection technique were used. First, a semi-structured interview technique was used and 20 people were selected by purposive sampling to participate in the interview and identify the components. Then 329 people were selected by simple random sampling and a researcher-made questionnaire based on the components was administered among them. The reliability of the questionnaire variables was 0.730. In-depth interview findings showed that exemption from military service for the son and receiving the life insurance of the deceased father and immigration were the most likely informational and normative identity styles (p<.01). Perceived family function had a significant negative association with diffuse/avoidant identity style (p<.01). The results of path analysis showed that ego had a mediating role in the relationships between perceived family functioning and informational identity style. According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the relationship between family function and identity styles is not a simple linear one. This is partly mediated by some personality characteristics such as ego.
