The Internet and virtual space are significant parts of our lives and have greatly altered human relationships. Theoretical Framework of This research is based on the Use and Gratification theory. The basic assumption of use and Gratification theory is that audiences are more or less actively looking for content that provides the most satisfaction. According to this theory, the tendency towards virtual space goes back to the social and psychological roots of individuals and their needs. This research mainly focuses on the psychological factors affecting the tendency to virtual space. The present study seeks to investigate the role of psychological factors (loneliness, social anxiety and communication needs) on students' tendency to virtual space. In this study, the survey method was used to achieve the research objectives. The statistical population of this study includes the students of Islamic Azad University, North Tehran Branch, and 380 students were selected using Cochran's sample size formula. The results showed that there is a correlation between feelings of loneliness, social anxiety and communication needs and tendency to Virtual Space. Regression analysis revealed that two variables (feelings of loneliness and communication needs) remained in the model and explained 58% of the dependent variable changes.

The cyberspace filtering as a immunization element is a fixed governmental policy of Islamic Republic of IRAN, but it is a challenging problem between policymakers and stockholders, especially after appearance of social networks. The main question of this article is what are the solutions of cyberspace filtering in Iran? This article by usage of interview with experts and thematic analysis suggests three model for improving the cyberspace of filtering. 1-“meta-policies of filtering,” 2-“decentralized governmental filtering,” and 3-“cultural-communicative converged filtering” (3CF-PAHFA). The first model emphasizes the need for the survival of governmental filtering, while it necessitates correction and conceptual development of the filtering. Accordingly, the second model includes suggestions for publicizing filtering such as user-based filtering rating, enhancing public surveillance, and indexing the criminal contents, etc. The third model in a proactive approach, while redefining the filtering and developing its concept, suggests policies such as: self-filtering, parental filtering, soft filtering by virtue of promoting indigenous content production, and local service, and establishment of content rating system.

The purpose of writing this article is to study the action of a group of "improved homeless women" as part of the social inferiority on Instagram. Although the group has less access to official media, they have the opportunity to show themselves and their daily lives on social media and social media. Therefore, in this article, the content shared by this group on Instagram was studied. With these questions, what topics do these women share on their Instagram posts? In these images, how does the transition from homelessness to homelessness occur? And in general, what capabilities and opportunities does this social network provide for them as tools and strategies for living their daily lives?This research was conducted with a qualitative approach and the method of thematic analysis and study of 140 Instagram posts from page 10 of the homeless women. Based on the findings of the present paper, three categories of topics including "adorned appearance", "social presence" and "search for peace" were identified in the posts. Despite the lack of past displays in the transition from homelessness to homelessness and the viewing of images of women without a past in these posts, it seems that displaying a new "self" on Instagram has a compensatory function; Such as politics and resistance, which are discussed in Bayat's theory of "quiet progress" and the concept of "tactics of coping."

The object of the present research is to deconstruct interpersonal communication and its basic concepts such as dialogue and sympathy by using psychoanalytic perspective and Lacan’s theory of discursive subject. By emphasizing on Lacanian subject who is constituted as the discontinuity between his real intention and the discourse bound up with the signifying chain of language, every message has an unconscious and hidden connotation which truly the addresser is not aware. This standpoint stands in opposition to common theories of communication that believes communication is a conscious and intentional process which leads to an effective communication by dialogue and sympathy. According to the fundamental gap between “what one says” and “what one truly wants to say”, the main question is how reciprocal understanding could be accomplished in a dialogue? Four discourses of Lacan are used in order to analyze the interpersonal relations and answer to the research question. To put my theoretical discussion into evidence, “My Brother Khosrow” movie is considered as a case study, to illustrate the possibility of investigating dialogy in Lacan’s discursive theory. In conclusion I illustrated how Naser and Khosrow’s dialogue takes place in the master discourse without leading to reciprocal understanding, but the dialogue between Naser’s wife and Khosrow in the field of the analyst discourse actualize sympathy in communication.
