The synergy between tourism and social networks has become a megatrend; To the extent that the two are unbelievably interdependent. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the behavior of e-loyalty of tourists in this megatrend and its influencing factors. The statistical population of the study is the user tourists on social networking sites (SNSs). The statistical sample was 1599 persons. An electronic questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS25 and Lisrel8.5 software packages. The finding confirms the impact of the e-servicescape on e-trust, e-satisfaction, e-commitment, and e-loyalty. E-trust has also influenced e-satisfaction and e-loyalty. In addition, e-satisfaction has influenced e-commitment and e-loyalty. Based on the findings, it can be suggested that SNSs’ managers pay more attention to elements of the e-servicescape such as visual appeal, value for fun, usability, customization/personalization, and interactions. Also, other practical suggestions were made. Also, other practical suggestions were made.

The desirable and harmful effects of cyberspace on different aspects of life especially education and schooling have always been a subject of debate. Thus, the main purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of lifestyle influenced by cyberspace on academic engagement of students. The statistical population consisted of high school students (junior and senior) of the city of Dehloran (Ilam Province, Iran) in the academic year 2018-19., 360 of whom were selected as the sample through cluster random sampling. The necessary data were collected by two standard questionnaires, i.e., Reev’s (2013) student engagement questionnaire and Taheri’s (2014) questionnaire. Cronbach’s alpha was used to measure the reliability of both questionnaires (α = 0.88). The correlation coefficients showed that there is a significant negative relationship between lifestyle influenced by cyberspace and academic engagement (r=-0.39, p≤0.001). Analysis of structural equation modeling (SEM) with AMOS also indicated that the lifestyle influenced by cyberspace variable and its six dimensions (knowledge acquisition, communication, identity, services, enjoyment seeking, and outcome) were able to predict 51% (R2=0.51) of the variance in the academic engagement variable (β= -0.53 and p≤0.00). The results showed that lifestyle influenced by cyberspace had a negative effect on academic performance of students. Therefore, it was concluded that such lifestyle needs to be modified with a view to attain maximum benefits and minimum costs.

Social media have provided brand-new capacities for affecting users and leading them toward social action. The aim of the current research was to develop a model of factors affecting the opinion leadership of social media users in creating social action. To this end, a correlational design was adopted to describe the relationship between predictor variables of leader’s reputation and attractiveness, expertise, normativity, social status, similarity to users, official media, message characteristics, the users’ influenceability, and criterion variable of dissemination of calls for social action, and simultaneous social action on Instagram social media. A researcher-developed questionnaire whose validity and reliability were confirmed, was filled out by 393 participants. Cronbach’s Alpha for all sub-scales, except for one, was greater than.70. The present research findings showed that opinion leadership on social media did not directly affect the simultaneous social action of users, rather, its influence was mediated by opinion leader’s “reputation and attractiveness”, “users’ influenceability”, and “dissemination of calls for social action”. Also, “message characteristics” had the greatest effect on the opinion leadership. The findings can be employed by educational and scientific centers, and institutions responsible for content production and dissemination, to create simultaneous social action through opinion leadership.

This article to the analysis performance of celebrities in the face of violence against women in the published content of their pages. Instagram is a central image social network that today is a favorable platform for communication between celebrities and their audiences, regardless of official restrictions. With the general public perception of this group and the impact of their actions on directing collective thought and behavior, their performance in the face of all forms of violence against women is worth considering. using qualitative research method and content analysis approach, the posts published in the accounts of these people with the focus on violence against women were examined. 145 pages of active celebrities on Instagram were monitored and recurring topics of acid spraying, self-immolation and acts of violence against women were selected. 74 image posts form of photos, videos and graphic designs were analyzed according to the gender element in the content and the owners of the content analysis page. The results show that the republishing of violence by celebrities is a kind of accompaniment and empathy with public opinion and awareness of different groups and in a way, it can be considered part of the social responsibility of this group. Celebrities do not seek to reproduce the line of violence by publishing content containing violence against women. Gender-based violence has made female celebrities more sensitive, and the group has published more posts on the subject. The emphasis on gender elements is palpable in the content of published images.

AbstractToday, the concept of citizenship as one of the concepts of the modern world guides sustainable human interactions. Citizenship represents the relationship between the individual and society in the form of rights and responsibilities. On the one hand, solving urban problems, urbanization crises and improving the behavior of citizens, the existence of a suitable culture of citizenship and urbanization, such as urban responsibility; Lawfulness of citizens, and normality are among the patterns of urbanization and these categories are among the necessities of urban life. So all the components of urban life, considering the role of culture in the social relations of the city, urban facilities, transportation system, the body of the city, and urban users, should try to create the necessary balance. The basic point in explaining the studies related to citizenship is that citizenship cannot be considered only from the perspective of law, or only from the perspective of the relationship between citizenship and the government, investigating the issue of identity, with the advancement of technology, it has found different ways to manifest itself. Currently, various services and applications allow their users to share their daily life and identity in different ways with their mobile phones. Since identity is a variable thing that changes during the social experience and with the formation of new communication methods, new social networks can build people's identities by providing new possibilities. But it seems that Instagram, as one of the largest virtual communities of Iranians, is an important identity-building tool that has led to the creation of an interactive space between users and has influenced their citizenship and national identity as a dynamic phenomenon. According to the statistics of the National Management Center for the Development of Modern Social Networks, more than half of the Iranian people have access to social networks, including Instagram. This capacity of communication and information created regarding modern social networks including Instagram has brought effects and consequences in the identity of Iranian citizens, including Isfahan city, and the basis of the form of the question at the beginning of the present research is: What role does the Instagram social network play? Do they play a role in the citizenship identity of the citizens of Isfahan City?ContextThe present research was done to determine the effect of using the Instagram social network on the citizenship identity of Isfahani citizens.

Information and commun Virtual social networks have become the most similar to human society with the process of information explosion that they have undertaken and have become an important and influencing factor in couples' relationships. The aim of the present study was to identify the role of virtual social space in the relationships of couples referring to the family court, especially its effect on the functioning of the family and their mental health. The current research was among qualitative researches and three types of open, central and selective coding were used to analyze the data. The statistical population of the current study included couples referring to family courts, who were purposefully sampled and interviewed. The tool used in the present study was a structured and semi-structured interview. From the analysis of the conducted interviews, 207 open codes were obtained, among which 8 main themes were extracted to express the lived experiences of the interviewees, which included: "Internet addiction", "covering the emotional and mental void", etc. The result of the study showed that social-virtual space plays an important role in the process of socialization and re-socialization of couples; which, along with other factors, stabilize different attitudes and thoughts and also have a significant impact on their mental health. In summary, it can be concluded that excessive use of media, especially social virtual space, can cause many harms, including excessive dependence on technology, separation and loneliness, internet addiction, depression and boredom, psychological, physical, economic, etc. be in pairs.and boredom, and psychological, physical issues in couplesIntroductionInformation and Communication Technology (ICT), particularly social media networks, has significantly enhanced its influence on family dynamics, owing to its evolving utilization objectives and its ever-growing penetration. The significance of these platforms is highlighted across the family unit, owing to their extensive presence. In fact, virtual social networks, with the exponential growth they have experienced, bear a striking resemblance to the human society at large, and thus, exert a significant influence on marital relations. Studies have demonstrated the pivotal role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the structure and daily routines of couples. In particular, its importance emerges in areas of communication, relationship development, education, work-life balance, leisure time, parenting styles, and others. In light of this, concentrating on identifying shortcomings, gaps, and risks associated with ICT usage in relation to the performance and functioning of couples becomes exceedingly pertinent.Literature ReviewNowadays, families face a myriad of technologies, particularly the introduction of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to their homes. Stevenson (2011) acknowledges that its initial introduction is for educational aims, yet it soon extends to other spheres of socio-cultural life. While the multipurpose nature of ICT enables ease of life, it also breeds disputes among family members. Ghazanfar et al. (2015) assert that the application of ICT can modify the institution of the family itself, as well as its phases of development. Stress and other health-related concerns, safety issues, privacy infringements, access to inappropriate content, reduced social interactions, decreased family gatherings, and changes in dietary habits have become a frequent occurrence in the structure of modern families, arising out of their extensive reliance on Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The number of users of this medium had been estimated at a threshold spanning between 150 to 180 million people in 1999. The figure elevated to over 200 million people in 2002, surpassing 1.5 billion people in 2008 and surpassed 2.4 billion people in 2012, exceeding 2.7 billion people in 2016, and surpassed 3.5 billion people by 2018. Thus, social media platforms have reached a state of widespread adoption and proliferation across all facets of society, culminating in the emergence of new patterns within marital relationships.MethodologyIt is necessary to understand the impact that social media networks have on the relationships of couples attending family courts. In this context, the present study constituted qualitative research and adopted thematic analysis to analyse the data collected. The initial sampling pool consisted of 27 couples (15 males and 12 females) attending family courts, among whom 24 individuals ultimately participated in the study. For this study, structured and semi-structured interviews were utilized as the main tools for data collection. The key questions are:How have social media platforms impacted the functioning of couples?What are the background factors associated with excessive usage of social media networks?What could be the repercussions of the excessive utilization of social media networks?ResultsUpon analysing the transcribed interviews, a total of 207 open codes were derived. These open codes were grouped into seven essential themes, each depicting the realities that the interviewees experienced, namely: "Internet addiction"; "Covering the emotional and mental void"; "Non-recognition"; "Online sexual activities"; "Expansion of entertainment through social networks"; "Psychological and sociological problems" and "Distorted perception of reality.The results of the present investigative study reveal a wide array of positive and negative impacts of extensive usage of virtual social media networks on interpersonal relationships. While digital platforms can enable communication and enhance communication for partners, such networks can, simultaneously, cause a loss of trust and communication between them. In addition, the results revealed that the availability and ease of accessibility of social media platforms can increase the likelihood of engaging in extra-marital online sexual activities, which can generate feelings of betrayal and distrust, causing an eventual breakup. Internet addiction, furthermore, was recognized as a significant drawback of virtual media networks in family functioning, and it is associated with adverse psychological and social repercussions, such as depression, anxiety, and decreased social support. Social media platforms can also lead to distortions of reality and unrealistic expectations within a relationship. Curated online profiles may lead to the presentation of idealized and filtered images and details about one's life, creating unrealistic expectations and feelings of inadequacy among partners. This, in turn, can lessen satisfaction and increase tensions in the relationship. The results of the present study revealed that virtual social spaces can contribute to the process of socialization and re-socialization of couples, and this, along with other factors, can potentially result in altering attitudes and perspectives and can also affect mental health.ConclusionThe widespread and multidimensional advancement of internet communication has introduced various challenges and issues to our contemporary existence. In spite of providing numerous benefits, such platforms can pave the path for the dissemination of misinformation, leading to the challenge and subversion of basic values. Social media networks, with their insidious influence, have altered human relationships to an unprecedented extent, enabling the control and manipulation of public opinions, fostering social unrest, and even instigating conflicts and crises. Excessive usage of media, primarily of virtual social platforms, has the potential to spark and exacerbate a plethora of harmful effects on marital relationships, including excessive reliance on technology, separation, and feelings of loneliness, internet addiction, depression, and boredom, on top of causing personal, familial, relational, emotional, psychological, physical, economic, and other difficulties within couples.

Rumor and its impact on human social life have always been important. In recent years, with the expansion of cyberspace, the conditions for spreading rumors have been facilitated. This study has analyzed the narrative of the Yazdian youth from the prevalence of rumors in cyberspace. This study was qualitative research and performed according to grounded theory. The participants were the youth of Yazd, 24 of them were purposefully selected and studied through interviews, and open, axial, and selective coding was used to analyze them. Based on interviews with young people, 43 concepts, 20 first categories, 14-second categories, 5 core categories (rumor prevalence, rumor belief, rumor credibility, rumor enhancement, and rumor attenuation), and the phenomenon of "The razor's edge of the news malfunction in cyberspace" is constructed. It turned out that shows paradoxical space and so-called two edges of function and malfunction information in cyberspace. The results showed the negative view of young people on cyberspace and news published in this context, and the best way to reduce the impact of rumors and their dissemination is to inform and promote media literacy of the audience.

Abstract
Copyright grants authors and artists, exclusive rights to protect authors and artists, on the one hand, and to protect community rights on the other hand. The author can, for a temporary period of time, earn from the commercialization of his work and register his name as the creator forever in the history and culture of humanity. National and international legislatives have provided these rights to authors in a way that prevents them from abusing this right and restricting the community's rights. One of the examples of community rights is the right of access to information. At first glance, copyright seems to limit this right of society, but in conclusion, with a look at the foundations of intellectual property, in general, and at the foundations of copyright, in particular, as well as careful scrutiny of national and international regulations, not only does this monopoly guarantee the intactness and originality of information and cultural materials, and is in line with the public interests, but also the limitations and exceptions to it impede the copyright restrictive role on the right of access to information. In addition, the prediction of the moral right of the author leads to originality and authenticity of information and enables the community to enjoy original and authentic information with a definite and certain source. In this respect, the provisions of Article 19 of the Bill on the Protection of Literary and Artistic Property and the Articles 2 and 2bis of the Berne Convention at national and international levels are significant.

Since the use of mobile social networks is prevalent among the students, the present study is aimed to predict the degree of dependence on social networks through the goals of using these networks among students of the 9th regional universities. The research method is descriptive-correlational. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire with questions about research variables and its validity and reliability were confirmed. The statistical population consisted of all universities in 9 countries (11 universities), among which 6 universities were distributed and collected in a Stratified random manner through a researcher-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS software. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis (one sample t-test, Pearson correlation, simple linear regression and multiple regression). The results showed that social network dependency was higher than average and positive correlation was found between leisure time goals, communication with relatives, diversity in service use, and record sharing in the likes. There is a score of 0.37 and these goals predict 14.3% of students' affiliation to mobile social networks. therefore, suggested that by using extremist social networks, responsible agencies design and run programs to raise awareness of the diverse services of these networks to fill students' leisure time usefully.

For many years, western countries have been attempting to offer western lifestyle as the correct model of life to people from all over the world, including Iran. Of the 32 satellite entertainment channels specifically aimed at promoting a particular lifestyle, Manoto TV and Gem TV, as the most important, popular, and influential channels with an entertainment and recreation function in promoting western lifestyle in societies, were analyzed using quantitative content analysis and the chi-squared test. According to the results, Manoto TV produced programs dealing with individual, family, cultural, social, and religious domains more than Gem TV, with the frequency of 300, 1103, 256, and 38, respectively. Among these domains, the majority of productions were related to the cultural domain, whereas religious programs ranked the last. "Shopping and consumption patterns" and "leisure" ranked first in the cultural lifestyle domain, with "clothing and makeup" showing the highest frequency. In the cultural domain, diversity, entertainment, and recreation were more important than other lifestyle components in program production. Presentation of western models in the purchasing and consumption management of individuals and society, with an emphasis on determining the type and extent of clothing and makeup, has encouraged the female audience to be nude or semi-nude, demonstrating the western media's efforts to promote nude and semi-nude clothing in the Iranian society as the correct lifestyle.

“Social Media” has emerged as new phenomenon in the scope of research and academia since 2005. Using Meta-Analysis (Scientometrics Approach) as a research method, the purpose of this study was to review over the past trends of Research & Development (R&D) in the area of “social Media”.The population of this study was all scientific documents indexed in Web of Science (WoS) databases from 1970 until June 2019 with the keyword of “Social Media” as a subject (all together 40,471 documents with “Social Media” as a subject and 15,038 documents with Social Media” in the Titles). To find out the conceptual transformation, all collected documents have been divided into three categories based on their frequency: 1-from 2005 to 2011, 2- from 2012 to 2015 and 3- from 2016-2019. The “theme analysis” of the documents in this study shows that a significant conceptual transformation can be highlight in R&D from 2005 to 2019 in the area of “Social Media”. in addition, even though US, UK, China and other western countries were the first nations who start R&D in the area of “Social Media”, it was noted that especially after 2015, many new and emerging countries like Malaysia, Qatar, Jordan, U.A.E., Pakistan, Kazakhstan and etc. in the developing countries also came to the picture in establishing international R&D networks to also contribute to the body of knowledge in this area.

This article shed light on perspective of Iranian digital games. Since early 21st century we confront many researches about digital games in field of media studies as well as psychology and educational studies. Some these researches are recognized digital games as just media and some of them investigate them and their effect as new media. In this article we used case study approaches to analyze digital games made in Iran technically and aesthetically. In our analytical approach we used comparison between Iranian digital games and corresponding foreign digital games used by Iranian gamers. We investigated “Garshasb, "Eighth Combat 2” and “Murders in The Streets of Tehran” as case studies and respectively compared them with “Dante’s Inferno”, “Battelle Field 3” and “Still Life”. Our finding demonstrates that Iranian digital games used low quality graphic pictures and unreal movement, then they would have failed in front of foreign digital game industry. it is because of lack of transparency of medium and intimacy with gamers. These problems result in low immediacy for involving the gamers. Then they prefer the foreign game instead. Furthermore, using real native narrative in Iranian game should be accomplished by applying real Iranian character with real Iranian goals and morality.

Accessing the right sample and engaging the participant in research collaboratively in helping professions that deals with individuals’ deeper issues is a sensitive subject. Qualitative psychologists are therefore increasingly using the internet as a medium for interviewing. The purpose of this study is to present a model of virtual research in helping professions based on ethical standards. The research method was qualitative and content analysis. The study population consisted of literature on research ethics and articles written on cyberspace research and the sample included articles published over the past 20 years. The analysis continued until data saturation and then combining the themes, the ethical model of virtual research presented based on seven components: preparing the researcher (fostering a positive attitude to virtual research, recognizing instant messaging capabilities, preparing questions, inviting participants, setting time), Teaching the interviewer the research procedures (text interviewing and its features, simultaneous interviewing for spontaneity, reviewing participants responses when writing their next response), Establishing rapport (expressing goals, principles of confidentiality, obtaining informed consent), providing basic information to participants (expressing goals and rights, how to deal with unpleasant emotions, emphasizing confidentiality), teaching procedures to participants (emphasizing Simultaneous interviewing, emphasizing volunteering Interviewing, non-imposing), recording and storing data (transferring the conversation to a Word file, editing the file, re-reading it), and research reporting (inserting a password for conversations, changing the participant's identity information before the final report). Following the ethical standards mentioned above, virtual research is a useful and cost-effective way in helping professions.

Romantic love, a modern product of the Western world, has gradually entered Iran and is known as a major concern among students and the younger generation today. One of the most influential factors influencing the importance of love between today's young generation is the type of animation broadcast during their childhood. Animations are one of the most effective programs for shaping the best interests, values and patterns in children's minds and throughout their lives. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to represent the concept of love in the favorite animations of Ferdowsi University undergraduate students; Thus, a questionnaire was given to select the animators and after reviewing the two animations, Babalang Daraz and Cinderella were identified as the favorite animations of the students. It was then analyzed using John Fisk's content analysis and semiotics approach. The important results of the research showed that the representation of love in these two animations has become the main focus of the story. Love is represented in two ways in one look and friendship and knowing each other to achieve the perfection of love, marriage. One of the most important issues raised in these two animations is the role of the boy's support and financial support for a girl at a lower social and economic level as the angel of salvation and liberation from the past problems and difficulties of life.

The present study aims at extracting the indexes of Iranian users’ of sense of security, using the triangulation method, in the social cyber networks during September 2016 to December 2018. Social networks were included domestic networks such as Soroush, Etâ, etc. And the foreign networks as telegram, WhatsApp, etc. The findings were obtained through documentary studies, in-depth interviews with experts and active users, focus group techniques, and content analysis of cyber-user references and press interviews of officials. The result of this research show the extraction of indexes of the sense of security and the determination of its dimension in the Iranian users’ cyber space. we determined and finalized 66 indexes in 5 dimensions (including economic, political, cultural, social and legal dimensions) with 11 Categories (including the financial Exchanges, occupational Opportunities, political opinions, national power, moral Principles, cultural norms, religious beliefs, emotional, family Connections, privacy, and citizen rights).The Iranian users’ sense of online security, although manifested in varying degrees of offline security, is affected by the state-citizen relationship in the real community. The concerns of users are more focused on mental dimension and micro-security levels, where the privacy of users is sign. Double-edged sword of technology and the New Age fluid surveillance, in addition to creating freedom and promoting awareness, is in service of political system objectives and this is the main concern of Iranian users. The theories of Turkel (2011) and Wellman (2012) are good insights in explaining the status of the components of online security

This study examines the visual messages Iranian women shares on Instagram in order to perceive how they are represented on the social network. The research applies John Berger’s Ideological approach, and considers every single picture as a report on the users’ view about their personal and social identity. After an introduction about the investigated users, and a general and brief evaluation of their posts, some selected pictures is analyzed based on the ideological approach. Moreover, in the conclusion, we try to connect the research findings to the existing discourses about the women’s role and position in the Iranian society. Based on the Research findings, some pictures indicate a part of female users’ resistance against social pressures to be a normative woman. In return, other pictures show that some users represent themselves consonant with the common social norms and values in their visual narrative about their everyday life, and consequently reproduce and reinforce the hegemonic values of the Patriarchal system they have grown up in.
