Sense of security as a psychosocial phenomenon is affected by several variables. The present study is the result of a research done on the role of social identity of women in their sense of social security. The study benefits from theories made by Giddens and Jenkins and tries to examine 7 hypotheses and sub-hypotheses. Questionnaire was used to collect the required data from women under 18 years old.
The findings of the study demonstrated that 52% of the statistical sample has high, 34.3% has average, and 13.7% has low levels of sense of security. The amount of life security is more than financial one. Examination of hypotheses showed that those who have stronger social religious concerns benefit from higher levels of sense of social security.

Today, higher education is one of the fundamental factors of moving towards globalization; likewise professional human resources are major characteristic of progress and development of countries. With development of information technology (IT) and shortened the economic cycle, the role of intangible assets, particularly such as knowledge, becomes more significant and creates added value. Thus development and strengthening the scientific education and research institutions pave the way for development of other areas. In this study, undermining potential talent and thoughts is considered as the main challenge. This research has been done by means of Quota sampling method, among 393 students of IsfahanUniversity and IsfahanMedicalUniversity. Multiple regression and structural equation modeling were used for data analysis. Results show that creativity among students was medium and there are significant relations between motivation, self confidence, parenting practices, participation in group work and creativity. However no relation between age and creativity has been found. Moreover the results show that based on Beta value, participating in group work and self confidence have been correlated with creativity.
