Introduction
Television and satellite channels, in addition to other forms of social media, have facilitated the rapid and widespread transmission of foreign lifestyles, social relationships, culture, art, beliefs, and values to Iranian society. As a result, satellite networks with their diverse capabilities have become capable of affecting all aspects of human life, particularly altering the daily lives and lifestyle choices of people from all sectors of society, particularly the youth. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Persian-language satellite networks in shaping the lifestyles of young people and from the perspective of Bourdieu's indicators by means of the data envelopment analysis model.
Materials and Methods
The research method employed is case-driven and context-specific. In order to implement the model, a library study was initially conducted to evaluate the impact of TV and satellite networks on youth lifestyles according to Bourdieu's perspective. Based on the opinions of experts in the field, the input and output indices of the study were determined. To account for the non-deterministic nature of many indices, the Rough DEA model was used, which converts non-deterministic variables to intervals using the "α" level and results in an interval data envelopment analysis model. Using the MRA ranking method, the efficient intervals were ranked and compared. Then the efficiency of each evaluated network was determined through a sensitivity analysis performed at different "α" levels. Finally, each of the networks was ranked.
Discussion and Results
Based on the data collected and analyzed, the "Man o To" network was found to have the greatest influence on the lifestyles of young people. The "Persian BBC" network ranked second, followed by the "Nasim network" in third place, and finally, the "GEM" network placed last. These results suggest that there are significant differences in the impact of satellite networks on the lifestyles of young people, and that the "Man o To" network has been the most effective at shaping the lifestyle choices of this demographic.
Conclusions
Based on the research findings, it is recommended that the administrators of domestic Persian-language satellite media produce high-quality and appealing content in the fields of information, news, entertainment, and educational programming. This strategy will help boost the lifestyle indicators among the youth. Additionally, it is suggested that individuals with greater social capital and trust consume media resources from these aforementioned fields.

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.

The purpose of this study was to measure the impact of virtual social networks on lifestyle and analyze the components that explain and influence the lifestyle and virtual social networks. In the beginning, 13 papers were selected from the selected papers that showed the purpose and approach of the research. The criteria used in this meta-analysis are the reviewed theoretical approaches, the theoretical frameworks used, research methods, methodological paradigms, the investigated networks, data analysis methods, statistical tests, theorizing, population, sample size, age range The sample members were sampling method, reliability, analytical level and researchers. The results of the meta-analysis showed that despite the strengths, the research has been influenced by theoretical and methodological weaknesses that could explain the differences and contradictions in the results of these studies. Dispersion and inconsistency in lifestyle indexation, Different perceptions of the concept of virtual social networks, Technological retardation toward theoretical frameworks, Lack of attention to tool reliability, generalization of results despite the use of non-probabilistic sampling methods, impact assessment Subjective social networks and lack of testing hypotheses by distinguishing indicators are one of the weak points that can be observed in research.

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.

Nowadays, there is a dramatic increase in the excessive use of mobile social networks such as Telegram, Instagram, etc. This is while enough attention has not been paid to the social impacts of the long term use of these social networks. These mobile social networks have quickly turned into a form of addiction among many teenagers and young people, and have exacerbated some social problems. Everyday life of the younger generation is tied to mobile social networks. For this reason, the present paper studies the relationship between the use of mobile social networks and the changing lifestyle of Iranian youth aged 15 to 29. To this end, utilizing the multi-stage cluster sampling method, a researcher-made questionnaire was distributed among 384 young people aged 15 to 29 years living in Tehran. The results revealed that there is a relationship between the amount of time spent on mobile social networks, and the components of lifestyle, such as how they are dressed, their eating habits, their make-up styles, their choices of decoration and home furnishings, their style of shopping, their leisure and leisure practices and their face to face interactions and communications. As the hours of using these networks increase, changes in each of the components of lifestyle also increase.
