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.

The effects of new media, which expand Virtual space, on thinking and identity of the audiences at ethnic and national levels, are among most controversial issues about which numerous studies have been conducted. In 2000s and early-2010, the number of studies regarding this issue had grown remarkably across research and academic circles. Thus they were analyzed using a meta-analysis using integrative review method. َََArticles, which had been accepted and printed at scientific Iranian journals, were selected. The effect of Virtual space was investigated as the effect of a new media on identity of Iranian audiences. Articles were extracted using web-browsers, among them articles have been selected which were compatible with essay framework, and common variables “Virtual space” and “Identity” were selected for meta-analysis. Research findings were classified into two groups: Descriptive findings and explanative findings. Descriptive findings across Research method, Population and theoretical framework of analyzed articles were reviewed. This research aimed at answering this question “would new media contribute to national convergence or divergence, considering its rapid growth among new generation? And therefore monitoring and conducting security measures by a constraining framework for securing national goods and establishing national security against these media isn’t necessary. Although surveilling and monitoring such media is an accepted procedure across all societies.
