Abstract: Status-based identity uncertainty (SBIU) is the extent of instability in an individual’s understanding of their socioeconomic status (SES). This study aimed to adapt and validate the SBIU scale within the general Iranian population. We translated this scale into Persian and collected data from 162 Iranian adults. Corrected item-total correlations and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (.85) supported the reliability of this instrument. Factor analysis yielded a two-factor model consisting of status doubt and status instability. Convergent validity was confirmed by establishing the unique association of SBIU with SES and income. The distinct factor loading of SBIU from self-concept clarity also provided support for its discriminant validity. Overall, this study establishes the reliability and validity of the SBIU scale for measuring status uncertainty in Iran
