Kajian ini bertujuan meneliti tahap jati diri pelajar institusi pengajian tinggi awam (IPTA) terpilih di sekitar Lembah Kelang. Komponen jati diri yang dinilai dalam kajian ini ialah bahasa, adat, budaya, agama, patriotisme, integriti, idealisme dan sumbangan institusi. Semua komponen tersebut diteliti manifestasinya melalui pengetahuan, tingkah laku, emosi, nilai dan kepercayaan. Reka bentuk kajian ini menggunakan kaedah tinjauan melalui pendekatan kuantitatif. Borang soal selidik merupakan alat pengumpulan data kajian. Alat ukuran jati diri dibina oleh kumpulan penyelidik. Seramai 800 mahasiswa lelaki dan perempuan dari empat IPTA terpilih dengan pelbagai tahun dan aliran pengajian dan terdiri daripada tiga etnik utama terpilih sebagai responden kajian ini.

Kesimpulannya, tahap jati diri sampel kajian adalah agak membimbangkan. Ini menunjukkan bahawa pihak berkuasa harus mengambil tindakan serius supaya ia tidak mengancam integriti nasional negara. usaha berterusan perlu dilakukan untuk mengukuhkan jati diri rakyat negara ini.

The identity components measured in this study are language, tradition, culture, religion, patriotism, integrity, idealism, and institutional contribution. The manifestation of the components were analysed via knowledge, behaviour, emotion, value, and belief. This study was designed to utilise a quantitative approach with survey method. A survey questionnaire was constructed as a research instrument to collect data for this study, and an identity measurement tool was also developed by this group of researchers.
