The Method Of Present Research Is "Process Tracing", Analysis Unit Of "Iranian Society After Revolution 57", Inferential Logic and Analytical Tools " Bayesian Inference Logic" And "Empirical Tests Straw-In-The-Wind, Hoop, Smoking Gun and Doubly Decisive", Empirical Observations And Within-Case Evidence "Causal Process Observations" And "Evidence Pattern, Sequence, Trace, Sequence And Account" Information Sources And Tools For Collecting Them "Documents, Archival Reports, Media Sources, Historical Research, And Interview". The Result Of Research Indicates That Based On The Deductive Approach And Existing Analytical Theories, Process Of The Effects Of Cultural Globalization On The National Identity Becoming Problematic in Iranian Society After The Revolution Of 57 Can Be Conceptualized, Operationalization And Evaluated Of Through "Causal Mechanism Of Rethinking Identification In The Compactness Of The World".
