Goal: 

This research aims to conduct a data mining analysis on the mental models of addicted women in Shiraz.

The logic of the research is of an applied type that utilizes a qualitative approach and employs a theoretical foundation. Through theoretical and purposive sampling, 17 participants were selected.

Through the analysis of interviews, 65 codes were identified, which were transformed into 34 concepts and ultimately into 15 categories. Personal factors such as experience, self-awareness, ostracism, and disapproval of addictive behavior have led women towards the quitting process. They have chosen a strategy of rethinking to break free from addiction. However, for women, these concepts have a cyclical effect and have made the quitting process more challenging due to family, societal, and cultural pressures compared to men. The presence of these categories in women's lives has made the quitting experience more difficult, and they have experienced multiple unsuccessful attempts. Consequently, the core category of "failure in quitting" has been considered for women, which reflects their inability to quit. The categories of relapse triggers, fear, personality breakdown, marginalized lives, and depressed minds are the consequences of the quitting process among women. Therefore, the categories have shown that the quitting process is experienced differently by women, and breaking free from addiction is much more challenging for them than for men. Social, familial, and cultural conditions have made it difficult for women to be accepted as addicts, and they have less potential to break free from the addiction cycle.

International migration is a growing phenomenon with diverse causes and motivations. Amidst globalization and new information/communication technologies, a rise in nationalism has been observed. The emergence and expansion of the internet and virtual platforms have given a new dimension to nationalism studies, introducing the concept of "digital nationalism". One issue facing modern immigrant-receiving societies is that even as immigrants settle in a new country, they may be still strongly identified with their homelands, hampering their socialization in the host society. A key factor in this is the presence of new technologies that allow immigrants to maintain strong links to their countries of origin. One such group is Afghan immigrants in Iran. Afghans have migrated to Iran in large numbers in recent decades, often for political reasons. This influx has posed challenges for the host Iranian society, with identity issues hindering the integration of Afghans. This study aimed to examine the phenomenon of digital nationalism among Afghan immigrants in Shiraz, Iran - a context not extensively covered in prior research on the digital-nationalism nexus, which has tended to focus on national borders or the actions of governments and political parties.

This study employed a quantitative survey research method. The target population was Afghan residents of Shiraz, Iran, aged 18-64 years. The total Afghan population in this age range in Shiraz in 2023 was estimated to be 83,587, with 54,932 men and 28,655 women.Cochran's formula was used to determine the sample size. A sample of 320 Afghan men and women aged 18-64 years living in different areas of Shiraz were selected using a multistage cluster random sampling approach. However, due to some incomplete or missing questionnaires, the final sample size was increased to 500 participants. Sampling involved multiple stages. First, all 11 districts of Shiraz were considered as clusters and several districts were selected from among them based on size and likelihood of containing Afghan residents. Within each selected district, 3-4 blocks were then randomly chosen. Data were collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire. Statistical analyses appropriate for the measurement levels of the variables were conducted using SPSS software, version 26.The sample consisted of 449 Afghan residents of Shiraz, of whom 50.1% were male and 49.9% were female. The majority (56.1%) were aged 18-27 years, while only 0.2% of them were 48-57 years old. Most respondents (60.9%) were married, while 39.1% ones were single. In terms of education level, the largest group (23.7%) had only elementary schooling and the smallest group (2.2%) had post-diploma qualifications. A high proportion (39.8%) reported having no income, while only 0.2% earned 15 million tomans or more per year. Bivariate analyses showed significant differences in digital nationalism between men and women and between single and married individuals. Moreover, greater access to and use of new technologies were positively and significantly associated with digital nationalism at over 99% confidence. Multivariate regression modeling revealed 6 key predictors of digital nationalism: frequency of phone calls with other Afghans (in Iran and abroad), years lived in Iran, access to the internet and mobile phones, use of various digital platforms, employment status (daily wage worker), and presence of paternal family in Iran. Together, these variables explained 30% of the variance in digital nationalism.

This study investigated the relationship between modern digital media, particularly social media and the internet, and the expression of nationalism among Afghans living in Shiraz, Iran. The findings indicated that access to the internet, primarily through smartphones and the use of various online platforms had facilitated communication between Afghans both within Iran and with those in Afghanistan. This ability to stay connected and discuss shared issues related to Afghanistan had contributed to strengthening of digital national identity among the Afghan diaspora in Shiraz. Specifically, factors, such as frequency of phone/video calls with other Afghans, length of time lived in Iran, access to the internet and mobile phones, use of different digital platforms, employment status, and presence of paternal family in Iran, were all positively and significantly associated with levels of digital nationalism. These contextual variables appeared to play an important intervening role in how new communication technologies influence the expression of national identity. In conclusion, the study provided evidence that digital media had facilitated the maintenance and expression of national identity among Afghans living in the diaspora. Access to transnational communication channels had enabled this population to stay engaged with their homeland and fellow Afghans, thereby reinforcing their sense of shared national belonging despite physical distance. The findings highlighted the important sociocultural implications of new information and communication technologies in shaping identity and community dynamics, especially for immigrant and diaspora populations.

About half of the world's population are women, and their attitudes toward the environment play an important role in the sustainable development of society. This study aimed to investigate gender differences in environmental attitudes. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data via the survey method. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha, and construct validity was assessed through Factor analysis. The statistical population comprised all students of the humanities faculties at Shiraz University, with a sample size of 400 cases estimated using the Cochran formula and selected through stratified sampling. The study integrated theories such as ecofeminism, the Theory of Planned Behavior, the Magic Bullet theory, and Parsons' theory for model development. Results indicated no significant difference in environmental attitudes between male and female students. While there was no significant relationship between environmental attitudes and the use of environmental awareness sources, there was a notable difference in environmental attitudes among male students based on marital status, with single men exhibiting stronger environmental attitudes. Additionally, a direct and significant relationship was found between social responsibility and the dependent variable. There was also a significant difference in environmental attitudes based on educational level, particularly among female MA students who showed stronger environmental attitudes. Consequently, gender differences in environmental attitudes were evident when considering various social and background factors. The results of the multivariate regression analysis highlighted that social responsibility and marital status (being single) had the most substantial impact on students' environmental attitudes, collectively explaining 48% of the variance in the dependent variable. Overall, there appears to be a trend of gender convergence and dedifferentiation in the attitudes of male and female students toward the environment.

However, there was no significant relationship between reflection and life satisfaction. In conclusion, the overall score of rumination was negatively and significantly related to life satisfaction, and ultimately, perceived stress is not a significant predictor of life satisfaction.
