The questionnaire was used for data collection and the validity of the data was formal validity and its reliability was measured by Cronbach's. Analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, multivariate regression and factor analysis were used for the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The results show that there is a significant and direct relationship between the independent variables of social control, social support, social trust and the dependent variable of social security. Multivariate regression analysis shows that independent variables (0.22) explain the percentage of changes in social security.

Social health as a complex phenomenon is a combination of mental, individual and collective health that potentially has a significant impact on the environment. Now, no matter how happy and healthy this environment is, it will make the citizens, especially the youth, have a proper motivation, and as a result, the society will be happy and healthy. Marginalization as a growing environment after the mass migration of young people to urban society, especially large cities. Therefore, this study intends to scientifically investigate the impact of marginalization on the basic components of youth social health in East Mazandaran. The research method is quantitative, survey and the statistical population includes young people living in the eastern suburbs of Mazandaran province. Using the table and based on cluster and simple random sampling method, 384 people were selected as the sample size. The research tool was a questionnaire that was analyzed with Spss software version 22.        Marginalization has a positive effect on the components of youth social health (tendency to violence, mental disorders, feelings of social insecurity, social isolation, social distrust and social alienation).

One of the most common methods to identify and represent oneself, especially in contemporary era, is cultural consumption. In cultural consumption, people often consume a variety of valuable goods and symbols, not because of their material value but due to their cultural one in order to create desirable images of themselves in the minds of others.

The results suggested that, there is a relationship between independent variables (religiosity, cultural capital, social capital and socio-economic status), and the consumption of cultural goods. The output of the model also indicates that the variable of cultural capital (0.32) has explained the highest amount of variance of cultural consumption. Moreover, the variables of social capital and religiosity explained 18% and -18 %t of the variance of cultural consumption in the workplace.

This study examines the experience of living and understanding the perceptions of prostitutes. The research in terms of the purpose is exploratory, in terms of the implementation is qualitative and based on the interpretive paradigm, in terms of the results is applied and in terms of the criteria of the time is Cross sectional research. From a systematic analysis of deep interviewing with 16 participants (prostitutes, pimps, and customers) the grounded theory was conducted based on Strauss and Corbin's approach. After the open and axial coding, 80 sub categories and 20 main categories was extracting. Ultimately based on the selective coding, the central phenomenon was formulated in the form of "prostitution, conflict resolution in the cycle of poverty, insecurity and exploitation". The results of the research showed that the central phenomenon was influenced by a set of underlying conditions including "deficiency in household and women-related laws" and "instability in socio-economic conditions" and interventional conditions including "deprivations from traditional culture", "inappropriate marriage", "addiction and acceleration in the propensity to prostitute", "domestic violence", "weak social skills", "shaky family" and "educational background", and causal conditions has included "social insecurity", "the prosperity of the market for exploitation" and "the increasing poverty of the household." Prostitutes also use strategies such as "active compliance with existing status" and "cross-sectional/non-enforced resistance" that results in "incapacitated risk aversion", "continuous exposure to violence" and "family dedication of everyday life.”

The present study analyzes and explains the effects of duration, amount, and location, type of use and level of Internet users' knowledge on national identity among students of Sari Azad University in the 1390-91 academic year. The field section, which is in the form of a survey, measures, describes and analyzes the data using a questionnaire technique. A sample of 372 students was selected by simple random sampling. The results and findings obtained through the experimental process of this research indicate that the overall purpose of the research has been achieved. Correlation between the two variables of national identity and the amount of daily use of the Internet (-0.19) two variables of national identity and duration of use Internet (-0.16) and between the two variables of national identity and the amount of familiarity with Internet (-0.13) was the inverse. There is a significantly inverse relationship between the use of the Internet at home and their national identity. Familiarity with the use of the Internet has the greatest impact on national identity, and the effect of the duration of use and the amount of use are equal to each other. They also showed that the effect of the Internet on the national identity of the students of this university is moderate to high. Also, the result of multivariate linear regression of independent variables with leisure time shows that among the independent variables, the rate of user use, users' familiarity with the Internet and the duration of Internet usage of the users have a significant effect on national identity. Comparison of betas shows that the variables of daily use of the Internet and two variables of familiarity with the use of the Internet and the duration of Internet use, together with beta multipliers (-0, 22) and the other two variables (0, 15) have the strongest and weakest effect on the dependent variables of national identity.

The purpose of this study was modeling of emotional intelligence and English language anxiety with English language learning. The present study was one of studies using structural equation modeling. The population included all bilingual adolescence students in third grade of guidance school on Golestan province that speaking Turkmen language, and 321 students were randomly selected among them.

Also, the information about learning English language of students was gathered through scores of students in English language lesson at end of academic year. Results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that models of measuring latent variables have a good fitness. In addition to direct effects, emotional intelligence can affect learning English language indirectly through English language anxiety. Therefore, increasing of emotional intelligence can reduce language anxiety, and consequently, increase language learning.
