The expansion of cyberspace and the use of its tools such as Telegram has brought about many changes in the lifestyle and interaction of citizens. Considering that students are one of the most vulnerable sections of the society in this field, this research examines the pathology of the role of Telegram on the isolation and disruption of students in social interactions. Method: The research method used in this descriptive research is correlation, and by using the calculated correlation coefficients, a structural model was developed. The statistical population of the current study includes all high school students in Tehran in the academic year 2017-2018 and the sample size was selected based on the Cochran formula equal to 384 people. Spearman's statistics and Lisrel's structural equations to determine the abundance percentage, density percentage, etc.) have been used to confirm relationships and hypotheses. The world of technology is made up of different parts. Its goals are to improve and accelerate and facilitate communication between people in the society. One of the most used parts of communication technology can be mentioned virtual social networks. The public has become accessible and easy.
Today, virtual social networks have gained a lot of popularity among young people. While these networks are spaces where they find new people and friends or keep their old friends informed about the changes in their lives, the place are for the exchange of ideas in which young people share their opinions and views. This ability for a young person to communicate with other people in the countries of the world makes these networks become a place where New ideas are introduced and discussed. Of course, along with these great advantages, one should also think about its hidden dangers. In this space, new opportunities for displaying personality are provided to users, and this space allows the individualization of ways. It has fueled the lives of young people and has set new boundaries in the formation of values and identification, especially the values related to familiarity and romantic friendships, which are among the harms of social networks. The issue of virtual social networks The main preoccupation of users in the world and consequently Iran has been. These virtual networks brought with them personal, social and cultural changes and had their impact on various social institutions such as family, friends, education, etc. has left, while this phenomenon will be effective in the individual and social behavior of humans and has caused people to distance themselves from real communities and close to virtual communities. virtual networks occur, increasing the importance of the issue and considering the rapid expansion of Internet users in Iran and the high composition of its young population compared to the recent past, this network seems important that the works and its consequences in different aspects, including the psychological, social and cultural effects of these virtual networks, as well as its effects on disrupting interactions and increasing isolation, should be investigated and explored. In this research, after studying several definitions of social networks and its effect on interaction, and in addition to that, examining the different theories of theorists in the field of social networks (advantages and disadvantages or challenges), we can reach the conclusion that the spread of virtual space and social networks Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc., on the one hand, can help the dynamics and growth of the society and the youth, as well as the communication of different communities with each other, and can also cause harm to the members of the society. Especially the youth and teenagers.
Findings: The findings of the research show that the harmful factors of social networks and the increase of social isolation are effective with emphasis on the role of Telegram in social interaction or social isolation among high school students in Tehran. Also, the harmful factors of social networks and disruption in social interaction with emphasis on the role of Telegram in social interaction or social isolation among high school students in Tehran are influential. And finally, the results showed that there is a significant relationship between students' isolation and disorder and the use of the Telegram social network. Conclusion: The use of the Telegram social network has an effect on the formation of social isolation among Tehran students, and due to reasons such as the lack of proper management and the weak culture of using Telegram, some social deviations and isolation have occurred in Tehran students.

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 article was to study The Relationship between the Use of Virtual Social Networks and Changes in Students' Social Capital Dimensionsl of students of Mohaghegh Ardebil University who study at this university in the academic year of 2018-2019. In this study, the survey method has been used. The statistical population of the research consisted of the students of Mohaghegh Ardabili University in the same year, of which 383 were selected as the statistical sample based on the calculations by the Cochran formula. Sampling method is a randomized class. The findings of the research showed that among the six hypotheses that considered for research, three hypotheses, "Relationship between students 'use of virtual social networks and students' self-confidence" "The Relationship between the Use of Virtual Social Networks and Students' Religious Beliefs " and "Relationship between students 'use of virtual social networks and students allegiance from society norms and rule"did not have meaningful relationship and the intensity of their relationship was weak. This means that the students have stated that despite having spent too much time in these networks, their self-confidence has not increased significantly due to this presence. Also, presence in these networks has not reinforcement their beliefs and their following of norms . three other study hypotheses, which include the variables of interactive relationships, social confidence and participation and cooperation have a meaningful relationship. This means that more presence in virtual social networks has increased the number of these cases among students.

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.

The use of internet in all areas, is increasing. Students are among the main users of the Internet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of internet parenting styles on the actual use of the Internet by students at home. For this purpose, 300 parents of ninth grade students were selected using cluster sampling. They responded to a questionnaire consisting of parents and children characteristics, use of the internet, and internet parenting styles with two dimensions: parental control and parental warmth. The results showed that the majority of families have access to the Internet at home (78%) and the authoritative parenting style was dominant (43.7%). Parents’ access to the internet at home is related to their age and education. As well as parenting styles influenced by gender, age, education, experience and attitude of the parents. Internet parenting styles also affect students’ internet usage. The highest child usage level is perceived when parents adopt a permissive parenting style and the lowest level is observed when parents adopt an authoritarian parenting style. Education, control, experience and gender of parents predict internet usage of students at home (R2= .21). Finally, it was concluded that internet parenting styles is a new factor to explain and predict the acceptance and use of the Internet by students.
