Study of factors related to the feeling of individual anomie among students (Case study of Tehran University students)

According to the sociology of emotions, one of the most important issues in managing micro-issues is paying attention to the feelings of people in society. Hence, the feeling of individual anomie, which is one of the influential factors in people's actions, needs to be studied. This study investigates the extent of individual anomie among students of the University of Tehran. In this research, the theories of Ferdinberg, Leidenberg, Seaman's theory of social alienation, and the theory of disorganization have been used in the theoretical framework of the research. The method of this research is survey and the research sample (300 people) was selected by stratified sampling. Statistical processing and analysis of information was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics (including correlation tests, multivariate regression). Findings show that 18.5% of students feel low anomie, 5.65% moderate and 16% high, which indicates a moderate to high anomie. The results indicate that factors such as social trust, individual trust, institutional and generalized, powerlessness, social capital and life satisfaction are related to the feeling of anomie, so that there is a correlation between these factors and the feeling of individual anomie. Except for the powerlessness variable, which has a positive relationship with the individual anomie feeling, all other variables have a negative relationship with the dependent variable. There is no relationship between social participation, gender, socio-economic status and the feeling of individual anomie. According to the regression model, the variables of feeling powerless and individual trust were the most important in explaining the feeling of individual anomie.
