The purpose of study was to determine the role of personality traits in distinguishing virtual social networks users and non-users. The present research design was a cross - correlation. The sample research consisted of 194 student users and 76 non -users in virtual social networks (270 people in total), who were selected using multi- stage cluster sampling among undergraduates and graduate students of Tabriz University. To collect data, short form of the NEO Personality Inventory, a demographic questionnaire and for data analysis, discriminant analysis method was used. Data analysis showed that personality factors extroversion, conscientiousness and openness to experience, in order of preference, have a significant role in distinguishing users from non-users in virtual social networks (p< 0/001). Extroverted people are sociable and have more tendencies to establish intimate relationships with others. In addition, people with high levels of openness to experience are curious about the inner and outer world and their life is full of experience, thus the use of virtual social networks is a new approach to communicate with others. Accordingly, the unstructured environments of this network causes that, people with low conscientiousness feature due to lack of impulse control more use them more.

Nowadays, many Iranians are using smart phones. Also, the digital divide problem remains an important issue in contemporary urban Iran. Thus, doing research into the relation between these variables is necessary to provide a better understanding of the problem. Using Van Deursen and Van Dijk theory, this paper aims to clear if smart phone usage causes some new kinds of digital divide or not. Furthermore, we measured the correlations between some socio-demographical variables with digital divide. We surveyed 273 of Tehran citizens to answer the research questions and test the hypotheses. Finding shows that the main divide occurs in skills acces also there is a divide in material access but. In addition, class and education have the most effect on digital divide. Class affect the all kinds of accesses and education have effect on 2 of them, while other variables such as age, gender and ethnicity don not have significant effect on different levels of access.
