The study is first to introduce the species of the identity and then examine the effects of the Internet on it. To achieve the goal, a quantitative-qualitative mix method was used and focused on young people aged 18-30 years in Tehran in 2018. In fact, exploratory qualitative method was used to introduce the species of identities among the youths in Tehran. A sample was selected by 42 people and the identity questionnaire was "Who am I". After open, pivotal and selective coding, six types of identities were introduced, including national identity, ethnic identity, communicative identity, ideological identity, religious identity and modern identity. In fact, after introducing these types of identity, a quantitative survey method was applied to examine their effect on the Internet use. Using the Cochran formula and based on cluster sampling, 524 people were selected among Tehranian youth aged 18 to 30 years. After data collection, analysis was done based on Spss and Lisrel. The findings indicated that only 12% of young people either do not use the Internet completely or if they use less than an hour a day. Only 16 percent search on weblogs and websites, while 83 percent are in the telegram. The findings also indicated that the Internet has had a meaningful effect on national identity, ethnic, modern and communication identity, but the Internet has not had any effect on religious identity and ideological identity.

One of the most important tasks of governments is to preserve and transfer the dominant political values, which is achieved through various factors of them virtual social networks are. Young people are the most important user of virtual social networks, and they are also at one of the most sensitive periods of political socialization. Therefore, the study of the role of factors affecting the political socialization of youth, which cyberspace is considered as the most important of these factors, is the goal of this research. The theoretical framework is a compilation framework derived from the theories of Almond and Paul, Isabelle Ang and Elliott Katz etc. The present research method is based on the nature of quantitative data in terms of collecting time as a survey research. Multi-stage random sampling method is used. The sample size is calculated using the Cochran formula of 458 people. The results showed that the greatest influence of independent variables on media trust (0.452), usage rate (0.259) and history of use (0.160). But the contextual variables and the variables of the socio-economic were not meaningful. Generally, the findings of the research indicated that virtual social networks act in the direction of informal political socialization. Therefore, it is suggested that, in order to defend the official political culture of the country, it should actively promote the role of government in the management and control of cyberspace
