Introduction
The fast growth of cyber networks has exposed students to various kinds of information and applications and created numerous changes in different aspects of their lives, including their identity and culture. In todayʹs Iranian society, cyber networks have created a new situation for users and defined new boundaries with respect to the formation of youthsʹ subcultures, values and identity. Anonymity, communication speed and fluidity of cyber networks have conveyed broad messages with regard to the communication patterns of youths (Zokaee, 2010, pp 2-3). Students are regarded as the biggest group of cyberspace users and audience. They become familiar with the cyberspace at university since they have access to the internet there. The cyberspace affects the cognitive, emotional, cultural and practical orientation of students, influencing all aspects of their lives, including their identity, subsequently. This fact has led to putting the focus on the cultural identity of students exposed to the cyberspace. Given the pivotal role of cyber networks in changing the identity of youths, especially their cultural identity, the current study seeks to examine the relationship between exposure to the cyberspace and cultural identity of students at Esfahan University. The study will also cover the relationship between the reasons and goals behind using cyber networks and the cultural identity of students also show relationship between demographic variables (age, gender, and education degree) and cultural identity.

The questionnaires were used for gathering information by made with researchers that validity and reliability of it was confirmed and consisted in 3 parts that part 1 Demographic information, part 2 related to motivation, goals and amount of usage of cyber spaces and part 3 about cultural identity. Data was analyzed with SPSS software in descriptive and inferential methods.
Discussion of Results & Conclusion
The results of descriptive analysis showed that the students visited the cyberspace 1-2 hours per week in average. Social, communicative, personal, and cultural goals were the main reasons for using cyber networks for the students. The inferential analysis of the study indicated that there was a significant relationship between using cyber networks and the cultural identity of the students. This finding could be attributed to the fact that a new type of life has taken shape in the cyberspace with the advent of the internet, transforming communication methods and affecting social relations undeniably (Amir Barani, 2012). Another finding of the research indicates that there was a significant relationship between the goals behind using cyber networks and the cultural identity of students and important goals of usage cyber space was social, communication, personal and cultural. The results also revealed a significant relationship between the motive for using cyber networks and cultural identity. Using demographic variables (age, gender, education degree), a significant relationship was observed between the cyberspace and cultural identity. Features of electronic communication in the cyberspace have created different conditions than face-to face communication for users. Speed, anonymity, etc. have created equal conditions for cyberspace users disregarding their gender, class, ethnicity, race and location, providing them with different experiences. Interactions taking place in the cyberspace provide users with a new mentality and tendency that could slightly change their behavior and interactions in real life (Morteza Noormohammadi, 2004). So, it is suggested that relevant planners and managers identify the needs of youths, manage the cyberspace properly, and produce proper and healthy content in attractive formats fitting the needs of youths in virtual networks. Besides, proper cultural grounds should be provided so as to pave the way for students to use cyber networks for higher goals.
