Although development of communicative technologies has formed online network communities on the cyberspace and has deeply affected people’s individual and social behaviors, there are very few empirical studies of how such newly emerged networks connect and influence the participation behaviors of citizens in political affairs. The present research addresses the following question: can virtual social networks affect students’ political participation? The research hypothesis was put to an empirical test through questionnaires presented to students of the University of Qom. The validity of the questionnaire is based on Cronbach’s alpha statistic. The data were analyzed through SPSS software under Windows. The statistic population was studied given a division of social networks into horizontal, vertical, and social solidarity, and given five aspects of political participation; that is, electing (first level), political monitoring (second level), being elected (third level), participation and engagement in inner structural reforms (fourth level), and measures taken to bring fundamental changes in political institutions (fifth level). Our findings show that horizontal networks are the most influential, and vertical networks are the least influential in political participations of the users of virtual social networks. The present research is a correlational study, with the method of data collection of the post-event variety.

Although political development, which means promoting participation of all people in determining the fate of political entities, can be achieved through a variety of methods, it is the common goal of all developmental viewpoints. Elections as the most prominent method and manifestation of that participation have been of great importance to theorists of social and political science and also to politicians. An important question for both groups has been to explain the election behavior of people and various social groups. Study of election behavior has been also a serious concern for researchers in relevant fields in the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially during the past decade. The main question of this paper is what norms and criteria shape election behavior of university students which is among main indices of political development, and what role is played by social networks in setting and directing those norms? The goal of this paper is to study the relationship between social networks and election behavior of students at Isfahan University. By dividing social networks into three categories of vertical, horizontal, and qualities of social networks, and also by focusing on four dimensions of political participation, namely, subjective, official, unofficial, and objective dimensions, it has become clear that horizontal networks have had the highest impact on the political participation of students with the lowest effect proven for the qualities of social networks.

As the problem of the article, could be relationship between sexuality and text interpretation or subject analysis? For responding this question, this planned hypothesis is examining that understanding national and international security (as a subject or text) would be done by post positivism method and for solving sexuality irregularity. For examining this subjective guess it is primarily necessary to explanation of the feministic cognitive method(in its diverse perspective) and then exploring its main deliberations such as expanding the meaning of the security, considering the social frame, and the focus replace on change for continuity, to analyzing the national and international security. With criticizing the fashionable approaches in methodology, the feministic cognitive method prescribe four main points: introducing social security as the national security base, interactions versus independent, pay attention to software of national security dimensions and the last, supporting the continual and evolution improvement plans versus the violent and revolution ones. These differentiated the feminists from the positivists.
