To select the interviewees, parameters such as a long history of presence in the political scene, media activity, ‌especially ‌virtual media, or familiarity with ‌media advertising techniques ‌, party communication, have been taken into consideration. After identifying them, they were invited to interview by sending an invitation letter. Further, by using an in-depth interview and in the form of a panel, the opinions of the participants were evaluated and questioned.

The strategies were: 1- personal bio strategy 2- bio-organizational strategy 3- bio-communication strategy 4- bio-social strategy. Although different nominal indicators were obtained in the process of interviewing and coding, all the resulting strategies and indicators refer to the basic components of media literacy and the goals and expectations that have been addressed and discussed by scholars in various research. Is; Therefore, in naming ‌these strategies as a functional road map of Iranian political elites, the title of life in measuring media literacy has been used, Media literacy is a means of living in a new ecosystem where today's political elites are engaged in providing political and social activities at the community level. One of the strategies of the ‌upcoming research is "bio-individual strategy" ‌. This strategy deals more with the media literacy ‌of political elites based on analytical understanding ‌. Analytical understanding is one of the ‌basic components in media literacy ‌, which lead ‌ to content production, and finally, through content production, functional and intellectual distinction in media literate elites. ‌"Bio-organizational strategy" is one of the results of acquiring media literacy ‌in the political elites, which mostly refers to the organization, formulation, guidance, and management of ‌media flows ‌and public opinion under the political goals of the country's political elites. "Bio-communication strategy" is one of the ‌most important manifestations of media literacy ‌in political elites. The nature of the extensive communication of politicians in the media environment ‌and the resulting products are included in this strategy. The strategy of "social life" is another important strategy in the study of media literacy ‌of political elites. This strategy looks at ‌different political and social aspects, ‌their roles and functions social and political activities ‌. To increase the media literacy of political elites in four strategies: 1- personal life strategy, 2- organizational life strategy, 3- communication life strategy, and 4- life strategy, the following measures are necessary: Ability Use From Technology Day Including Computer To Processing And Production Information; Ability conclusion ‌, At item Relationships Ali And disabled, between Reports ‌, media And reaction General; Ability diagnose the effect of distortion, stereotyping, Advertising, And Violence At The media‌ visual; Ability diagnosis interpretation And To Existence to bring Pictures visual; Ability Consumption critical And No passive From media; Ability to analyze social, political, And Economic The media‌ Keywords: media literacy, social media, political elites.

Overall, the findings underscore the crucial role of enhancing parents’ media literacy—particularly the moral dimension—in mitigating digital media addiction among adolescents. Additionally, the results highlight the influence of parental demographics on the extent of students' media addiction, suggesting that targeted educational interventions for parents, especially those with lower educational attainment, could be effective in reducing digital media addiction among high school girls. Extended Abstract:IntroductionIn recent years, the rapid growth of digital technologies and widespread access to new media have significantly changed how adolescents obtain information and interact. Smartphones, social media, online games, and other digital tools are now essential parts of young people’s daily lives. While these technologies provide valuable opportunities for learning and communication, they also pose risks, such as the rising problem of digital media addiction among high school students. This addiction, marked by excessive use of digital platforms, can harm academic performance, mental health, and social relationships.Addressing digital addiction requires identifying key mitigating factors, with parental media literacy playing a crucial role. Media literacy refers to the ability to critically access, analyze, and evaluate media content. Parents with higher media literacy are better equipped to understand the risks of media consumption and guide their children toward healthier usage patterns.Potter’s media literacy theory highlights four key dimensions—cognitive, emotional, aesthetic, and moral—that influence how individuals interpret media messages. Improving parents’ skills in these areas can enhance their monitoring and communication with adolescents, thereby reducing the risk of digital addiction.Given the increasing dependence on digital media among students and the prevalence of addictive behaviors, it is important to study the link between parents’ media literacy and students’ digital addiction. Understanding this connection can inform effective strategies to reduce digital dependence and promote healthier media engagement among youth.Materials and MethodsThis applied study used a quantitative descriptive survey design to explore the relationship between parents' media literacy and digital media addiction among female high school students. The population consisted of all female secondary school students in Qom province in the year 2024. Based on Cochran’s formula, a sample of 257 students was selected to ensure representativeness.Data were collected using a 20-item questionnaire adapted from Yang et al. (1998) to measure digital media addiction. Parents’ media literacy was assessed according to Potter’s framework, covering four dimensions: cognitive, emotional, aesthetic, and moral literacy.The questionnaires were distributed to and completed by the participants. Data analysis involved using Spearman’s correlation to examine the relationships between media literacy dimensions and digital addiction, and Chi-square tests to assess the impact of parental age and education on students' media addiction levels. A significance level of 0.05 was used for all tests to ensure reliability. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software.FindingsThe study revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between all four dimensions of parents’ media literacy—cognitive, emotional, aesthetic, and moral—and the level of digital media addiction among female high school students. Among these dimensions, the moral aspect demonstrated the strongest inverse association with digital addiction (Spearman’s rho = -0.312), followed by the emotional (-0.257), cognitive (-0.145), and aesthetic (-0.117) dimensions. These results suggest that higher parental media literacy across these domains corresponds with lower incidences of digital media addiction in adolescents.Moreover, the analysis identified significant relationships between parental demographic variables and students’ digital media addiction. Both parents’ age and educational level were significantly associated with addiction levels, with a p-value of 0.002. The Chi-square test further indicated that parents’ educational attainment (χ² = 46.035) had a more pronounced correlation with students’ digital media addiction compared to parental age.Collectively, these findings underscore the critical role of enhancing parents’ media literacy—particularly the moral dimension—in mitigating digital media addiction among adolescents. Additionally, the influence of parental demographics, especially educational background, highlights the importance of tailored educational interventions for parents as a strategy to reduce digital media addiction among high school students.Discussion and ConclusionThis study found a significant negative relationship between parents’ media literacy and digital media addiction in female high school students, with the moral dimension showing the strongest effect. This highlights the vital role of ethical awareness in preventing addictive behaviors, consistent with prior research on moral education.Parental education and age were also significantly related to students’ addiction levels, with education having a stronger influence. This suggests that more educated parents may be better equipped to monitor and regulate their children’s media use effectively.The findings underscore the need for targeted educational programs to enhance parents’ media literacy, especially the moral dimension, to empower them as effective supervisors. Such programs are particularly important for parents with lower educational attainment to help reduce digital addiction among adolescents.School administrators and relevant institutions should develop ongoing, structured family education programs—including workshops, seminars, counseling centers, and initiatives—to improve parents’ knowledge of digital technologies and media risks. Raising awareness and providing tailored guidance to families can reduce digital addiction and strengthen parental monitoring.In summary, improving parents’ media literacy is essential to combat digital addiction in high school students. Future studies should explore the long-term impact of family-centered interventions promoting healthy digital media habits.

Read More This study aims to develop a model for an effective domestic messaging application by focusing on users' media literacy, employing a literature review to identify 66 initial indicators which were refined through three rounds of fuzzy Delphi analysis with 14 media experts and university professors, resulting in 51 validated indicators categorized into seven key dimensions: (1) data protection and privacy, (2) user experience and capabilities, (3) support and sustainability, (4) social networking and collaboration, (5) technical advancement and compatibility, (6) performance and efficiency, and (7) access and usability. The findings reveal that developing an effective domestic messaging application requires prioritizing accessible resources and social collaboration tools, followed by enhancing technical performance and user adaptation, while also ensuring service stability, quality, and robust data protection. Practical recommendations include creating media literacy education platforms, conducting training workshops and webinars, implementing regular application updates, and establishing strong cybersecurity measures to safeguard user privacy and data security. Extended Abstract: Introduction This study develops an optimized model for domestic messaging platforms by focusing on users' media literacy as a critical success factor, addressing the growing national need for reliable local messaging services amid increasing digital communication demands. As messaging applications become essential tools in Iran's digital ecosystem, the research identifies key performance indicators and integrates media literacy components to propose a comprehensive development framework for domestic platforms that balances technical quality with user education. Importance and Necessity of the Research Messaging applications have become indispensable digital tools, serving critical functions in information dissemination, social communication, and commercial transactions. In Iran's unique digital landscape - characterized by widespread reliance on foreign platforms alongside growing privacy concerns and access restrictions - the imperative for developing robust domestic messaging solutions has intensified. Yet existing local platforms continue to underdeliver on user expectations, largely due to their failure to incorporate media literacy principles as foundational elements in platform design and development strategies. Media Literacy and Its Role in Domestic Messaging Platforms Media literacy encompasses the competencies to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media content, enabling users to critically interpret messages and engage with them intelligently. Within domestic messaging platforms, this literacy extends beyond content comprehension to include responsible content creation. Users require the skills to leverage messaging features effectively while mitigating risks associated with misinformation and harmful material. This study systematically identifies and categorizes the critical indicators influencing both platform efficiency and user media literacy development in domestic messaging environments. Research Methodology This study employed a descriptive-exploratory research design utilizing the fuzzy Delphi technique, beginning with a comprehensive literature review that identified 66 preliminary indicators of messaging platform efficiency, which were subsequently refined through three iterative rounds of expert evaluation involving 14 media and communications specialists to yield 51 validated indicators categorized into seven core dimensions that collectively influence both media literacy development and platform effectiveness. Key Identified Indicators Data Protection and User Privacy:As a fundamental requirement for messaging platforms, this dimension encompasses: (1) end-to-end message encryption, (2) compliance with international security standards (e.g., ISO/IEC 27001), and (3) robust user data protection protocols. These measures collectively address growing user concerns about personal information security in digital communication environments. User Experience and Features:An intuitive user experience with efficient features - including a user-friendly interface, robust multimedia file support, and advanced communication capabilities - serves as critical factors for both attracting new users and maintaining long-term engagement on messaging platforms. Support and Stability:Reliable technical assistance and consistently stable service performance constitute fundamental requirements for ensuring user satisfaction in messaging platforms. Networking and Social Collaboration:Platform capabilities including group management systems, channel-based communication, and integrated social tools actively foster meaningful interactions while enhancing user engagement metrics. Technical Advancement and Compatibility:Effective messaging platforms require continuous upgradability to meet evolving user demands while maintaining robust adaptability to technological advancements and industry shifts. Technical Performance and Efficiency:Optimal operational efficiency – characterized by seamless performance, uninterrupted stability, and high-speed responsiveness – constitutes essential requirements for sustaining user retention in messaging platforms. Accessibility and Usability:The messaging platform must ensure universal usability by accommodating diverse user needs, varying access requirements, and comprehensive accessibility features for individuals with disabilities. Research Findings The study identifies critical success factors for developing effective domestic messaging platforms: (1) Primacy of user security and privacy through strict adherence to international standards like ISO/IEC 27001, (2) Optimization of user experience via intuitive interfaces and efficient functionality to drive adoption and retention, and (3) [additional factors from your research. The study emphasizes media literacy education as a critical component for responsible platform engagement, recommending structured training initiatives - including workshops and skill-building programs - to enhance users' critical evaluation capabilities. These measures directly correlate with improved trust metrics and satisfaction levels in messaging platform utilization. Implementation Recommendations Based on the research findings, the study proposes these key measures for enhancing domestic messaging platforms: Educational Development: Conduct workshops and training programs to strengthen users' media literacy skills Security Upgrades: Implement advanced security mechanisms to safeguard user data and privacy Experience Enhancement: Deliver regular platform updates and improved technical features to increase user satisfaction Social Features: Develop integrated platforms for effective group interactions and social networking Conclusion This study establishes that effective domestic messaging platforms necessitate integrated attention to four critical dimensions: (1) robust security protocols, (2) optimized user experience, (3) reliable technical support, and (4) comprehensive user education. The research particularly highlights media literacy as a pivotal factor enhancing both platform efficacy and user safety, with demonstrated positive effects on engagement metrics. Implementation of the proposed framework can facilitate development of capable domestic messengers that simultaneously address core communication requirements while advancing users' digital media competencies through built-in educational components.

Read More Today, adolescents exist in a complex global society, encompassing both its positive and negative aspects, as well as their real-world society. This dual existence is largely attributable to their extensive and prolonged use of media, particularly cyber space and social media platforms. The most significant challenge posed by this situation pertains to the threat of conflicting values and culture. It may initially appear that this challenge, which is both global and ubiquitous, can be addressed through media literacy. The efficacy of media literacy in building resistance against the threats posed by media messages and the necessity to further strengthen or enhance it are crucial considerations. This study aimed to explore the correlation between critical thinking skills and religious commitment with media literacy in a sample of 205 final year high school students. The findings indicated that, based on the multiple regression model, there is a significant correlation between the research variables with a significance level above 0.05 and the adjusted coefficient of determination (0.58) also reveals that the data fits well and the research hypothesis is accepted. Therefore, to enhance the effectiveness of media literacy, critical thinking and the cognitive and value systems can be used as valid approaches. Furthermore, the relationships between the variables in relation to the research's theoretical framework reveal that critical thinking holds a procedural nature, religious commitment possesses a value-based and criterion-based nature, while media literacy embodies a structural nature.Introduction For a considerable period, media literacy has been the primary means of empowering audiences to counteract the threats posed by media messages. Media messages persistently influence every audience in myriad aspects, even affecting their reasoning and logical system by creating both overt and covert connections between data and messages. In contrast, the primary protective response of the audience is automatic data processing. Automatic and involuntary processing acts as the first line of defense against the overwhelming flood of data and information. Consequently, the question arises: is this automatic reaction sufficient?Enhancing the audience's intellectual capacity and their ability to generate meaning in pursuit of truth is achieved through media literacy. This objective is realized through the critical thinking skills and the audience's cognitive system, which encompasses a valid, standard, and valuable set of principles. These two crucial elements form the "face" and "substance" of a person's cognitive structure within the "audience empowerment platform." Both of the aforementioned elements possess an independent nature and are outside the scope of media literacy. In fact, media literacy serves as a structured and flexible framework aimed at standardizing critical thinking skills and methods for evaluating messages with the goal of discovering truth and defense against threats. It also functions as a set of standards and underscores three primary requirements: information diversity, value system, and message analysis system as its fundamental components. These requirements respectively pertain to the enhancement of cognitive domains, the development and reinforcement of a valid value system for the audience, and the skill of message analysis (Masterman, 1980: 21). In essence, these requirements provide the foundation for a secure encounter between the audience and media, in the face of the dense volume of information and threats posed by media. The question arises: what relationship exists between media literacy and the aforementioned two elements, namely critical thinking and the valid criteria of the audience, and how should this relationship be analyzed and interpreted?The central inquiry of this study concerns the relationship between critical thinking and religious commitment with media literacy. Consequently, the subsequent hypotheses were examined:There exists a significant correlation between the level of critical thinking and religious commitment with the level of media literacy.There is a significant relationship between the level of critical thinking and the level of religious commitment.There is a significant correlation between the subscales of critical thinking, religious commitment, and media literacy.MethodologyIn this study, a survey methodology was employed with an explanatory approach and a correlational statistical method. The dependent variable in this research is media literacy, while critical thinking and religious commitment serve as the independent variables. For this study, three quantitative tests were conducted using the scoring method based on the Likert scale:1- Worthington's religious commitment test comprising 10 items with a total score of 50; it has two subscales: intrapersonal commitment and interpersonal commitment.2- Ricketts' critical thinking test with 33 items and a total score of 165, containing three subscales: creativity, maturity, and commitment.3- A media literacy test encompassing 22 items and a total score of 110, spanning five subscales: understanding, awareness, selection, criticalThe research tests were administered to 203 final-year high school students in the fourth educational region of Tehran. To facilitate comparison of the test results, scores were normalized as a percentage. The obtained scores were subsequently evaluated to analyze the subjects' performance. The internal validity of the researcher-developed questionnaire was determined by soliciting the opinions of 35 professors from across the country, utilizing the Lawshe model. This evaluation led to the confirmation of 22 items, demonstrating an overall reliability ratio of 0.36. The reliability of the research questionnaires was assessed through the calculation of Cronbach's alpha using SPSS software. The resulting Cronbach's alpha for media literacy, critical thinking, and religious commitment were 0.88, 0.85, and 0.94 respectively, indicating satisfactory reliability across all three variables in this study.DiscussionIn line with the cognitive theory of media literacy, audience intelligence and their ability to control optimally hinge entirely on cognitive growth and development in various domains. These domains encompass a hierarchical progression, from the lowest to the highest level. The standards, requirements, and key principles of media literacy function as a structured, standardized system to guide practical patterns of analysis and reasoning. Subsequently, while critical thinking is widely regarded as an established scientific discipline in its own right, it can be effectively integrated within the framework of media literacy's structure, prerequisites, and standards. This integration serves to enhance the recognition and promotion of the effectiveness of media literacy. Alternatively, the social theory of media literacy holds that media literacy cannot exist independently and detached from the social and institutional structures of the society in which it functions. Hence, beyond media literacy and critical thinking, it is imperative to give due consideration to possessing a cognitive system rich in "reference values and criteria". Such a system should align with the social structure of the audience and uphold the principle of "shared meaning-making" in media literacy.ConclusionsThe outcome of the hypothesis test in this research reveals that critical thinking bears a stronger association with media literacy compared to religious commitment. This finding emphasizes the importance of applying the principles and rules of critical thinking skills to augment the effectiveness of media literacy. Additionally, the values accepted by the audience exhibit a direct and relatively strong relationship with media literacy, regardless of the general and partial divergences among them. It is likely that the relatively weaker relationship observed between religious commitment and media literacy, in contrast to the association with critical thinking, reflects the absence of a robust and inherent value system within the structure of media literacy. This absence may impede the reliance on a standard value system for the study and analysis of media literacy.Each subscale of religious commitment, along with the total score, displayed a direct correlation with media literacy in this study. The degree of correlation exhibited between the subscales of religious commitment (intrapersonal commitment and interpersonal commitment) and media literacy indicated that the weakest intensity of the relationship revolved around the subscale linked to awareness. Consequently, the Pearson correlation coefficient between the specified subscales and the subscale of awareness of hidden objectives in media literacy equates to 0.11 and 0.07, respectively, which corresponds to weak and insignificant correlations. Moreover, the findings of the tests reveal that the weak relationships of these subscales are associated to aspects that rely on active and volition-based training. These concerns pertain to cognitive domains and awareness that is contingent upon the learning process. Aspects such as possessing knowledge of principles, familiarization with methods, rules, and standard doctrines, might not appear plausible without systematic training and instruction, as acquiring knowledge and expertise spontaneously seems implausible.
