Adolescents today live in a cultural world whose boundaries are more blurred than ever before due to their constant presence on social media. The media and technological means of communication have increasingly provided indirect exposure to other cultures. And this situation puts the adolescent in a situation where he has to face challenges over his identity and definition. The identity formed in each person has a specific type and style, which is called identity styles. Identity styles are the scale and degree of distinction that can be made between individuals. In this regard, Brzezinski (1992) considers identity styles to include information, normative, confusing, and commitment.In this regard, the present study seeks to investigate the relationship between attitudes toward social media and identity styles in adolescents aged 12 to 18 years using online survey method and a statistical sample of 1065 people. It was 0.82.The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between confused identity and commitment and attitude to social media and the hypothesis of a relationship between informational and normative identity style with attitude to social media has been rejected
