Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the status of Islamic-Iranian lifestyle among Azarbaijan Shaid Madani University students. The research method was descriptive. The statistical society of this research included all students of the Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University (n=6089). From this population, a sample of 361 students were selected based on Morgan table by stratified random sampling. To collect information and data a researcher-made Islamic-Iranian lifestyle questionnaire was used. In addition, one sample t-test, independent t-test and ANOVA test were used to analyze the collected data. The results showed that the students' knowledge about Islamic-Iranian lifestyle is appropriate and desirable. In addition, their attitude and belief about Islamic-Iranian lifestyle was also in a desirable condition. But there was no suitable situation regarding the functioning and acting on the Islamic-Iranian lifestyle. In other words, despite their knowledge about the Islamic-Iranian lifestyle and also having a positive attitude towards this issue, in their personal life, they don't pay much attention to this education (Islamic-Iranian lifestyle). Also, in another part of the research, the findings revealed that the average score of knowledge, attitude and performance of female students was higher than the average of male students’ score the results also the average Islamic-Iranian lifestyle scores were higher among master students than Ph.D. and undergraduate students. Therefore, while emphasizing the importance of expanding the level of students' knowledge and information, as well as paying attention to the creation and development of more desirable attitudes about the Islamic-Iranian lifestyle as the main driving force of students' movement in this direction, the causes and factors affecting the weakness of students' performance should be investigated more closely and potemtial damages should be identified and finally, universities should review their cultural programs according to these findings.
