Content in Iran's cyber space is one of the most challenging policy issues in this area, and different and sometimes contradictory approaches have been proposed regarding the way to deal with this phenomenon. In a situation where the speed of cyberspace developments is so high that there is no consensus on a single issue yet, new issues arrive one after the other, futures studies for the internet content policy through knowing the paths ahead and making proactive decisions to prepare for the future is a policy necessity.

This article uses delphi, future wheels and backcasting methods for futures studies. First, the desired future of the content in Iranian cyberspace was identified with the participation of 32 experts through the Delphi method. The future wheel method was then used to determine the main axes to reach the desired future to provide the basis for backcasting. Backcasting is preparing the mind for future images as a basis for decisions. In this approach, unlike forecasting, instead of looking from the present to the future, we look from the future to the present time, and with the image of the desired situation, which is fundamentally different from the current situation, the base for transformation is provided.

After determining the desired future, the most important axes that need special attention to realize the desired future were identified: the position of governance among content production and distribution players, the balance of power among content production and distribution players, the circulation of content in cyber space whithout restrictions and capabilities of content monetization. The target time horizon of this research is 2025, and in the framework of backcasting, steps are proposed to realize the desired future.

For each of the four axes, time is broken into four steps. These desirable situations have a staggered relationship that the occurrence of any distant future first requires the occurrence of the nearer future. In general, it can be said that reaching the desired future in the field of cyberspace content in Iran can be achieved to a large extent by using the futures studies approach in policy making.

Public relations are the beating heart of every institution and organization and they carry heavy duties and serious missions in different parts from communication with the media to responding to doubts and criticisms and honoring the clients. According to experts, informing and informing, persuading, encouraging, promoting and promoting, conducting social research and opinion polling and linking it to the resources of the organization and the general public are among the most important tasks of public relations. Public relations are not a job, but love, and as a communication bridge and a mirror of the whole view of any organization, it plays an important role in effective and purposeful communication between people and officials. This job knows neither time nor place, and a public relations officer must be accountable to the person in charge and the organization and most importantly to the people in any situation. In recent years, with the expansion of the virtual space, there have been many changes in the field of information and the duties of public relations, and in this space, sometimes some activists in this field appear as a reporter and produce news ahead of the reporters, take pictures and They. Today, mobile-based social networks are a platform that is both a tool for informing and finding information and can fulfill part of the communication needs of public relations. This is a golden opportunity for public relations to manage their communications and many affairs. Most of the people who use mobile phones use smartphones, and many consider mobile social networks to be an inseparable part of their daily life communications, in this case, is it possible to ignore and ignore this unconditional information portal.

The emergence of cyberspace as one of the defining features of the modern era has transformed the world, creating a networked society that is deeply integrated into global life. While cyberspace itself is not inherently negative, its misuse can profoundly impact individual and societal relationships, thoughts, and behaviors. In many countries, cyberspace has become an essential part of daily life and a vital tool for various activities. However, the unique nature of the internet—its privacy, lack of oversight, and ease of access—has facilitated the spread of immoral and pornographic content, particularly in the Western world. Over the past few decades, the normalization of sexual topics and the proliferation of media tools, especially the internet, have contributed to the growth of the pornography industry.One of the most alarming aspects of internet pornography is the depiction and distribution of child pornography, a severe form of child sexual abuse. Child pornography represents a significant online threat to children, often involving the exploitation of minors through grooming, trafficking, cyber prostitution, or the production of sexual content. The pornography industry in Western countries has created an environment in cyberspace that not only facilitates sexual deviance among users but also enables the commission of sexual crimes against children globally.Given the profound impact of this technology on public morality, addressing the ethical and legal dimensions of child pornography is of paramount importance. This study seeks to answer the question: What legal and ethical mechanisms exist to combat virtual child pornography? By examining the necessary ethical and legal frameworks, this research aims to provide a foundation for addressing the challenges posed by this issue more effectively.

The research employs an integrated strategy, utilizing methods appropriate to each topic. Two primary methods were used: library studies and content analysis of laws. Data was collected through the review and analysis of books, articles, and legal sources, with a focus on existing laws criminalizing pornography.

The study highlights that, despite the 2020 Law on the Protection of Children and Adolescents in Iran, which aims to safeguard minors from sexual crimes such as pornography, the legislation has been largely ineffective in prevention and enforcement. The law lacks specific protective policies addressing child pornography and fails to consider the profound and lasting impacts of such crimes on victims. While the Islamic Penal Code prescribes punishments for certain sexual acts, it does not adequately address the unique vulnerabilities of children or the irreversible harm caused by the production and distribution of pornographic content.The legislative approach to protecting children's rights in cases of pornography is insufficient, particularly in light of the rapid advancement of technology. Legal protections have not kept pace with technological developments, leading to gaps in the safeguarding of public morality and chastity. This disconnect between technological capabilities and legal frameworks has resulted in inefficiencies and contradictions in addressing child pornography.In conclusion, the current legal structures for combating child pornography in cyberspace are inadequate. There is an urgent need for comprehensive legal reforms, enhanced preventive measures, and a stronger focus on the ethical implications of this issue. Effective solutions must address both the technological and cultural dimensions of the problem to ensure the protection of children and the preservation of public morality.

Audience research is a cornerstone of effective health communication programs. Neglecting audience research can diminish the effectiveness of health initiatives and pose significant risks to public health. This study aims to identify the factors influencing audience behavior in health communication programs within Iran's health system. Using the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) method and the gap analysis technique, the study formulates optimal strategies by assessing the current state and identifying gaps to reach the desired state. Sampling was conducted using a purposive non-probability method among experts in health and communication sciences.The findings reveal that the health system's strengths include the existence of a health network in cyberspace for public awareness, the production of educational content with a prevention and self-care focus by the Ministry of Health, and ongoing training for healthcare providers in effective communication. However, weaknesses such as insufficient attention to cultural differences in health guidelines, the inability of domestic messaging platforms to compete with foreign ones, and low communication literacy among healthcare professionals hinder the system's effectiveness. These shortcomings can lead to a lack of diversity in communication methods, inadequate evaluation of program effectiveness, and limited audience participation.Health communication is vital for improving public health and managing diseases. With the advent of new communication technologies, such as social networks and digital media, audience interaction has become more complex. While the Ministry of Health has developed numerous health communication programs, their implementation and audience targeting remain unclear. Effective communication programs require careful consideration of audience characteristics and communication components. This study explores the elements influencing audience behavior in health communication programs and evaluates the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in transitioning from the current to the desired state.

This study employs the SWOT method to formulate strategies based on strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, complemented by gap analysis to assess the disparity between the current and desired states. Data was collected through purposive sampling among experts in health and communication sciences.

The study identifies several strengths of the health system, including the presence of a cyberspace health network for public awareness, the production of preventive and self-care educational content by the Ministry of Health, ongoing training for healthcare providers, and an online news and information platform. However, weaknesses such as insufficient attention to cultural diversity, the inability of domestic messaging platforms to compete globally, low communication literacy among doctors, and inadequate audience analysis in message design hinder effective communication.Opportunities include interactive communication between social network users and health experts, the health system's focus on self-care and patient education in cyberspace, and the existence of health-oriented online platforms. Threats include low information literacy among users, the spread of misinformation online, the use of unclear language in health communication, and public misconceptions about health-related news.

The health system plays a critical role in disseminating health information and influencing behavior change. Effective communication is essential for promoting health, reducing disease burden, and ensuring the success of public health programs. Drawing on Giddens' structuration theory, this study highlights the complex interplay between individual actions and social structures in shaping health behaviors. Understanding audience characteristics before implementing health communication programs enhances the effectiveness of health messages and fosters greater audience participation. 

In this paper- which is one of the parts of the philosophical research on the digital age - I evaluate a point of view that considers the claim of "the end of the current era" and "the beginning of the transition to a new era" as a kind of mythological and unsubstantiated view of the current situation. The words of the Internet world, the world of social networks, the world of computer games, the digital age, etc., are frequently used on the tongue and pen. In this area, I present a point of view that a student does not know the meaning of these interpretations, beyond the mythological meaning or newspaper usage. This objection is presented in three categories: 1. Criticism of political economy on the mythical view of the digital age. 2. Criticism of information history approach and 3. Criticism of computer ethics. The first two groups have similar principles and tone in criticizing the myth of the digital age, and the third group has emerged from the tradition of analytical ethics philosophy. Critics believe that there is exaggeration and exaggeration in the analysis of new favas, and there is nothing unique about this technology, and in treating the digital age as a myth, the thinker's relationship with history and politics has been severed. In Persian language, no research work has been written in criticism of the frequent term digital world or internet age. The English-language texts can be divided into three categories on this topic: 1. Exaggeration in the use of the word age or world 2. General opposition to its use 3. The moderate point of view that reaches a fundamental change with both exaggeration in use and lack of attention. Asr is the opposite. This article reflects the second and third views.

This research aims to identify and explain the opportunities and challenges of religion in new media, particularly in the context of Instagram.

This study is qualitative, utilizing "thematic analysis and data visualization techniques," based on "semi-structured interviews." It is developmental-applied in nature and employs thematic coding for data analysis. Data were collected through individual interviews with 15 experts and scholars in religion and media, using purposive sampling and a snowball method. Ultimately, the most significant opportunities and challenges of religion in the new media of Instagram were identified and explained, along with proposed solutions to address them.

The most important identified opportunities include foresight in content production, management of the active presence of religious institutions in cyberspace, and leveraging the capabilities of Instagram. The primary challenges in the realm of new media include weak religious presence in cyberspace, superficiality of religion and doubts about it, exploitation of cyberspace by the West, and the targeted destruction of Islamic and Iranian values.

Media managers and those involved in religious advertising can utilize the findings of this research. Media managers should particularly emphasize foresight in content production and active presence in cyberspace, striving to strengthen and promote robust and profound religious discussions in this space.

The current research was conducted with the aim of "providing a model to empower social network users in the field of cultural security". For this purpose, a qualitative method based on foundational data theory including open, axial and selective coding was used, using the systematic approach of Strauss and Corbin. In this regard, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted using theoretical sampling with professors in communication sciences, sociology, management, law and information technology. In this context, 39 interviews were conducted and data collection continued until information saturation. The main phenomenon of this research was empowering users. The causal conditions of this research included: communication behavior of users, characteristics of messengers, individual and personality characteristics, cultural security in virtual structure, etc., and background conditions included: cultural information, cultural adherence, strengthening of cultural symbols, cultural infrastructure of users and ... was identified from the perspective of the participants. Also, the intervening conditions of the research included: use of native language, consequences of banning users, cultural threats, cultural damages, etc. In the following, the existing strategies include: promotion of intellectual culture, persuasion of emerging ideas, awareness of soft war, self-centered education, etc. were identified. Also, its consequences include: the effectiveness of user empowerment, the effectiveness of content production, the future research of technology, cultural luxuries, etc. were expressed in the form of a paradigmatic model of the underlying theory.

The virtual space serves as a powerful tool in today's world, particularly in sports, playing a significant role. Instant communication, news sharing, and interaction with fans are among the positive features of this space. However, there are also anomalies that can negatively impact the management and performance of athletes and sports teams. This research examines and analyzes the management and performance of athletes and sports teams concerning anomalies in the virtual space and the challenges managers face in controlling controversies and crisis management.

This study is exploratory-applied in nature, employing qualitative research methods and grounded theory following the Strauss and Corbin approach. Data collection was conducted through interviews. Given the lack of comprehensive studies addressing the performance management of athletes and sports teams regarding anomalies in the virtual space, this strategy was deemed appropriate. The statistical population consisted of 12 experts with scientific and practical expertise in sports management (including senior managers from the Ministry of Sports and Youth and university faculty members in sports management). Participants were selected through theoretical sampling and shared their opinions on the research topic and interview questions. Sampling continued until theoretical saturation was reached. According to the systematic grounded theory design, qualitative data analysis was conducted in three stages: open, axial, and selective coding, resulting in a concrete representation of the generated theory. To ensure the validity of the research, actions such as member checking, peer review with three colleagues, collaborative research, and pluralism were implemented based on the criteria established by Creswell and Miller (2000). The reliability of the conducted interviews was calculated using inter-rater agreement (over 86%).

According to the participants' views, causal conditions, the main phenomenon, contextual conditions, intervening conditions, strategies, and outcomes emerged as shown in the table below.According to the systematic model of Strauss and Corbin, the findings of this research are illustrated in Figure 1. Causal conditions: 1 Structural factors, Management factors, Financial resources, Human resources, The nature of cyberspace.  Context conditions:Internal factors, cultural and social factors, legal and regulatory factors, organizational structure, technical infrastructure and communication platform   Intervening conditions:Political obstacles, insufficient knowledge about cyberspace, legal issues and restrictions, socio-cultural sensitivities   Figure 1. Paradigmatic Pattern for Managing the Performance of Athletes and Sports Teams Regarding Anomalies in Virtual Space.

In this study, 143 open codes and 29 categories (selected codes) were extracted from interviews with 12 experts in the field to develop management and performance of athletes and sports teams regarding anomalies in virtual space. Overall, the results indicate that the identified model can serve as a guide for preventing anomalies in the virtual space related to sports (athletes and sports teams). Effective management of athletes' performance in virtual space requires a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach that includes education, legal support, and strengthening technical and human infrastructures. By adopting appropriate measures, it is possible to improve the social and psychological conditions of athletes and prevent anomalies in virtual space. This model helps athletes and sports teams become familiar with causal factors, contextual conditions, intervening conditions, and appropriate strategies for using virtual space and the relationships among these elements, leading to economic, individual, social, legal, and cultural outcomes. Additionally, if communication and media managers, athletes, and sports teams adopt this model, it is hoped that a better attitude towards the use of virtual space will emerge.It is recommended that media and communication officials and senior managers of sports teams change their negative perceptions of virtual space and social media platforms. They should focus on creating regulations for identity verification and validation, establishing legal consequences for deviant behaviors in virtual space, defining and drafting legal approaches for managing crises arising from anomalies in virtual space, penalizing violators in virtual space, and enacting laws to protect athletes and sports teams in virtual space to prevent future occurrences of deviant behaviors. Identifying and prioritizing the educational needs of athletes and sports managers regarding virtual space and crisis management, analyzing effective methods for managing negative feedback and criticisms in the virtual space of athletes and sports teams, or developing coping skills for athletes to manage social pressures and reduce crises arising from virtual anomalies can help future researchers gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in managing athletes in virtual space, thereby improving the social and psychological conditions of athletes and enhancing the quality of management in virtual space.Keywords: Sports teams, virtual spaces, performance management, virtual anomalies, athletes.

Religious propagators in cyberspace face various ethical conflicts, and making appropriate decisions in these cases requires careful consideration of the rational and religious arguments surrounding the doubts and conflicts. The aim of this paper is to resolve four cases of ethical conflicts faced by propagators in this space. 

Data collection and identification of ethical conflicts were conducted using field and library methods. To address these conflicts, an analytical-ijtihad approach was employed, relying on reasoning and inference. 

This article examines four cases of ethical conflicts encountered by religious propagators. The first conflict arises between the necessity of conducting flow analysis for doubt resolution and the need to avoid dubious spaces. The second conflict is between the necessity of religious propagation and responding to doubts, and the need to avoid mingling with non-mahrams in private spaces. The third conflict involves the necessity of religious propagation and the need to prevent wasting time and life. The fourth conflict occurs between the necessity of content creation and exploration in cyberspace and the need to avoid obscene images.

By examining the arguments surrounding each conflict, it was concluded that the first conflict is hypothetical and does not occur in practice. In the second and third conflicts, the necessity of propagation takes precedence over its common harms, and practical suggestions are provided to mitigate these harms. The fourth conflict can also be resolved by clarifying the ruling on looking at such images.

The purpose of this research is to "study the perceived understanding of first and second high school girls about the issues of teenage students" in the fields of identity, maturity, virtual space and family and society structure. This study was conducted in the framework of qualitative method and data through interviews with 12 female students from different regions of Iran and finally it was coded and analyzed with thematic analysis method.The findings indicated that teenagers in this period seek to discover their identity. Whenever a person does not have a clear answer to his questions, an identity conflict and ultimately an identity crisis occur. The importance of the discussion of maturity is related to the roles that teenagers will accept in the future; Also, there are many issues and problems related to the virtual space from the students' point of view, and it shows that the correct way of being in the virtual space in order to reduce the harm caused by being in this space has not been taught. Regarding the family structure, what was important in the eyes of the participants is the gap and the generational gap that has become the basis for a deep gap between teenagers and the family, and it should be resolved.Finally, to proper social development and planning; Therefore, it is very important to provide suitable conditions for effective policy making to solve the problems of girls.

 The media in general and in recent years the virtual space has been significantly exploited by Salafi Jihadi-Takfiri movements. These extremist groups, due to their high pragmatism regarding the surrounding realities, have always used the most up-to-date media and artistic methods to spread their message globally. The present study, with a comparative look at the role of media and cyberspace in disseminating the discourse of the three generations of Salafi Jihadi-Takfiri groups, seeks to answer the main question of how the three generations of Salafi Jihadi-Takfiri groups use the media and cyberspace to disseminate their discourse. Have you used them to make selfie subjects? The findings of the research show that the use of the media in the first and second generation is much less than the third generation, and ISIS, as the third generation of Salafi Jihadi-Takfiri group, has been more successful in using the media and virtual space than its counterparts. . The effectiveness of these media for this group has been as a "weapon" in "asymmetrical battles" and in line with propaganda to spread the basics of the Salafi Jihadi Takfiri discourse, invitation to the war fronts and recruiting members to carry out suicide operations

Today, with the advancement of information and communication technology, the issue of the function of cyberspace has gained special importance, and its role in introducing religion cannot be ignored. The present research, titled "Explaining the Underlying Factors for the Emergence of Harm in the Virtual Propagation of Religious Teachings," aims to pathologize the hardware and software of the propagator, the time of propagation; social and cultural pathology of the audience in using cyberspace and the factors that prevent the realization of the goals of virtual propagation of religious teachings and challenge it. Harms that may not be observable but threaten the process of virtual propagation.

This research has used the library method and referred to written and documentary sources, using two categories of hardware and software resources, and has used the descriptive-analytical method to collect data and information.

The research findings can be stated in two categories of individual and social factors underlying the emergence of harm. The individual factors, which revolve around the propagator, are stated under three titles: cognitive weakness, skill weakness, and moral weakness, and the social factors are stated under two titles: managerial weakness of officials and enemy infiltration.

The main conclusion of the research is that the propagation of religious teachings in cyberspace is an undeniable necessity, but it is accompanied by harms, the prevention of which is the recognition of the underlying factors.

This qualitative research focused on exploring the meaning of entrepreneurship and analyzing how women entrepreneurs operate within the context of the Instagram social network. To achieve this, in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 women entrepreneurs, each possessing an active Instagram presence. The collected data underwent thematic analysis, revealing three overarching themes: "(1) Instagram and the presentation of women's skills," "(2) Instagram online shops conducive to women’s multifold roles," and "(3) Instagram as a novel platform for women's expressive societal engagement." Along with the three overarching themes, seven organized themes were recognized: "Instagram shop," "customer-centric approach," "rapid business expansion," "work-life balance," "simultaneous progress and presence," "occupation suitability with feminine character,” and “prospects for women's personal development and creativity.” The findings of this study revealed that the virtual space, particularly Instagram, has established a secure, dynamic, and adaptable intellectual and action-oriented environment for women entrepreneurs to exert a socio-economic impact. Through this platform, women entrepreneurs can effectively attract and connect with customers while shaping their viewpoints and behaviors.

Women are part of the vulnerable sections of the society. Today, with the expansion of the virtual space, where some of the realities of human society have been transferred, some people use the image of women to pursue goals such as extortion, threats, making money, insulting their dignity. This issue has put women in a situation where if the right to their image in the virtual space is not protected, it will cause serious material and spiritual damage to different dimensions of their personality. This research has been written using documents and library sources, in a descriptive-analytical method, as well as by examining a number of cases and judgments issued by judges of the judiciary. The obtained results show that only in paragraph b of article 5 of the law on the method punishing persons who engage in unauthorized activities in audiovisual matters, approved in 2016, the right to the image of women is directly supported in special circumstances. Also, what has attracted the most attention of courts is the publication of obscene and vulgar images of women. In the judicial decisions, the legal protection of the right to image of women is more in direction of determining criminal punishments.

Managing cultural changes in the virtual space is inevitable since it is a place of conflict between power flows, especially the reputation system. Achieving desirable and sustainable cultural changes requires attention to changeability requirements. It means that ignoring these requirements can affect the process and content of changes. Based on this, the purpose of this article is to investigate and answer the question: What are the requirements of cultural changes through the fame of celebrities in the virtual space? The research is based on Husserl's descriptive phenomenology as well as Colaizzi's method (1978). The research population is those who are active in various fields of science, art, sports, and virtual space activism. Semi-structured and in-depth interviews were conducted with 16 people as a research sample using the criterion-dependent purposeful sampling method until the level of data saturation. The data were validated through external auditors, returning to the interviewees, and in-depth descriptions. The findings showed that the requirements of cultural changes through celebrities in the virtual space can be found at structural and content levels: in the dimensions of optimal networking, control of structural resistance, family changes, and social capital building in the form of structural requirements, and in the dimensions of cultural flow, cultural leadership and attention to social status in the form of content requirements. The results, in addition to showing the role of celebrities in cultural changes, emphasize the factors facilitating the influence of celebrity culture in the Iranian society.

Twitter is one of the social networking media that allows everyone to interact widely in the global arena. Twitter is also of special importance in Iranian public opinion and is considered as an elite media and on the other hand in the field of social, political and cultural activists is the focus of most young people in Iran and the world. The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior of Twitter activists and its role on the decrease or increase of participation in political protests among the youth of Tehran in the November 1398 protests following the announcement of an increase in gasoline prices. The type of research is descriptive survey and the statistical population of the study was all Twitter users in Tehran who were selected by sampling method and the research tool included a questionnaire. The findings of the study indicate a positive relationship between the use of Twitter and the political activism of Tehran youth in political protests in the protest event. Due to the growth of Twitter users in Iran, the need for proper training and exploitation and support for domestic media content producers in the face of rumors and media espionage and the development of dialogue in such a comprehensive and effective social media in the country can To be useful and effective in preventing or controlling protests and political and social crises such as the protests of November 2019 in Tehran.

The purpose of the current research was to reconstruct the narratives and experiences of teenagers in order to identify the duality of identity in the virtual and real space. The research method was qualitative and reconstruction type, which was conducted with interview participants. The statistical population of the research was all secondary school students of Ardabil province. The sample size included 16 students who were selected by purposive sampling and based on the principle of theoretical saturation. Semi-structured and in-depth narrative interviews were used to collect data, and for its reliability, the method of re-reading the narratives and re-referring the entire written narrative to some school counselors was used. The data was analyzed based on thematic analysis. The results of reconstructing the narratives of teenagers showed that real and virtual space has led to the formation of different and sometimes dual identities in teenagers. This identity duality can be seen in religious, family, sexual, national, ethnic and cultural dimensions. The identity of teenagers in the real space was more formed, coherent and real, and in the virtual space, it was relatively mobile, unstable and numerous. An identity which, according to some features, can be called a modern or re-thinking identity. In addition to trying to protect traditional sources of identity in the real world, teenagers showed themselves to be in favor of a global or cosmopolitan identity in cyberspace.

The theories of globalization and the global village, underpinned by the digital infrastructure, have induced profound and substantive transformations at both micro and macro levels, influencing societal cultures and the lives of the world's youth. The transition from static, traditional societies to dynamic, modern ones has accelerated, and religious authorities' conventional methods of religious proselytization have undergone significant changes. Amidst the turbulence of modern society, we have witnessed the emergence of mystical and spiritual movements that have rapidly transcended national boundaries, leveraging the power of digital platforms to infiltrate cultures and shape identities.A substantial portion of today's youth have become disengaged from traditional religious indoctrination and are instead influenced by the cultural and spiritual teachings disseminated through digital spaces. The digital realm has facilitated unprecedented opportunities for connection and cultural penetration, and if not managed effectively, it poses significant challenges and threats to the younger generation.This research aims to critically analyze the impact of new-age spirituality and mysticism on youth culture within the digital context. Employing a qualitative, library-based, and analytical-descriptive methodology, this study reveals that the digital space offers opportunities for new-age spiritual and mystical movements to flourish while simultaneously presenting associated threats. The combined effects of these positive and negative influences on youth and national cultures have been subjected to a critical analysis. The study concludes by proposing practical recommendations centred around three key areas: strengthening youth culture, safeguarding national identity, and managing mystical and spiritual movements, which are crucial in addressing the issues raised.

The main purpose of this study is to identify parenting mediation experiences in the relationship between their children and cyberspace, and therefore the main question of the study is what strategies do parents use to mediate and regulate their children's use of the Internet? To answer these study questions, "mediation" has been used as an approach in media studies. The samples of this study were the parents of children aged 9 to 12 years who were selected by purposive sampling method and the sample size was based on sampling to theoretical saturation. The transcripts of the interviews were thematically analyzed using MaxQUD software after implementation, and the data were presented under three headings: Parents' Attitudes, Parents' Strategies, and Parents' Challenges. The key finding of this study is that each parent uses a wide range of mediation strategies that are directly related to parents' gender, age and perceptions of their children's maturity. Parents' limited awareness of the dangers of cyberspace has led to an increase in proactive mediation among parents. In addition, the digital literacy gap between them and their children causes some of them to adopt a release strategy at a later age, knowing that their children are incapable.
