One of the most fundamental issues facing today's societies is the social identity that has undergone major changes with the advent of virtual networks. The virtual world is relatively separated from the real world with features such as inability, transcendence, multiplicity, accessibility, synchronization, and so on. Fundamental to the formation of social identities is human interaction. In fact, when one interacts with another, one finds his/her identity as a member of society. Identity is defined in the context of social interaction. In Iranian society, identities have become fluid and changeable. Traditional identities are gradually being questioned and new identities emerging that do not have previous integration and stability. Mass media is one of the most important sources of identity change in today's society, including in the area of women's lives. The research method was quantitative and data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical population of this study is women in Tehran. The results show that all aspects of Tehranian women's social identity (family, national, ethnic, and religious) are weakened.

Mobile social networks facilitate connections through mobile devices, and users of these networks can use mobile to access, share and distribute information. With increasing the number of users on social networks, the large amount of shared information and the dissemination of created information cause some problems such as rumor propagation and access to incorrect information. The most powerful tools for validity of received information is based upon the trust value which is assigned by the others. However, considering the subjective and perceptive nature of the concept of trust, the mapping of trust in a computational model is one of the important issues in computing systems of social networks. In addition, there may be various communities on social networks and all users will not be directly connected to each other, which leads to a more complex process of calculating trust. In this research, using user characteristics in social networks, a fuzzy classification approach is proposed, and the trust is computed between users in a class using a computational model. Also trust is gained between users who are not directly connected, using the combination, transition and aggregation processes. By comparing the results, it can be seen that the proposed method recognizes trustworthy people with high precision.

The emergence of any communication medium in the society has interwoven positive and negative applications, overlooking any of which can cause serious damages in the society. Mobile social networks are no exception. This study has tried to explore new communication styles in the cyber space in order to understand such positive and negative aspects. We have used surveying to reach the statistical population, being the residents of the city of Tehran, who are 15 years or older and use mobile social networks. The results show that mobile social networks act as complementary and supportive means of human communications and play a significant role in the openness of the users. Moreover, based on the results of this study the users face limitations in their interactions and they are deprived of constructive features of communication such as face-to-face interaction as well as reading books and doing exercise.
