This article aims to examine the relationship between membership in social networks and the risky behaviors carried out. The research method was survey with cross-sectional design. The statistical population consisted of all undergraduate students of Payame Noor University of Gonbad-e-Kavos center with 2000 students. By using Cochran formulas, a sample of 313 students were selected using stratified random sampling. The instrument includes three questionnaires: demographic, virtual social networking questionnaire and standard risky behaviors questionnaire. Using SPSS software for data processing and analysis, the findings showed that there was no relationship between the use of virtual social network and the occurrence of risky behaviors (sexual deviation and suicide) with respect to meaningful value (0.20 for sexual deviation and 0.62 for suicide) (values less than or equal to 0.05). But in two risky behaviors of violence and drug abuse, this relationship was significant. So that the meaningful value in both behavior was 0.000. Regarding the correlation coefficient, the severity of these two low risky behaviors was moderate (for the violence variable, the coefficient is 0.39 and for the drug variable, the coefficient is 0.24). Also, the results of regression analysis showed that the type and amount of use of virtual social networks can predict the occurrence of risky behaviors.

This paper examines the difference between the fame in real versus virtual world, aiming to introduce and develop new methods of studying the net and analyzing the extent to which the media-effect theories are applicable in an age when new issues are being born and expanded in virtual atmosphere. Moreover, the paper tries to compare and contrast the ability of different media on creating individual fame. In order to do that, Google has been chosen as the basic tool for generating a list containing the most famous people who share a similar first name (i.e. Mohammad). Using Schulman and Lamport’s method for quantifying the fame, a coefficient named as fame index has been then calculated for any of the people whose names are mentioned in the list and the numbers have been compared with the data gathered through a survey which was set to examine their fame in the real world. In the next step, the findings have been explained by cultivation theory. The findings indicate that the fame index and its ranking are significantly different in real and virtual atmosphere and different types of media have different capacities for promoting fame. In the other words, this shows that there is a difference between “what and who people want to know about” and “what and who people actually know about.”

Gender Issue has been a neglected concept in the sociology of religion until the second half of twentieth century. Higher religiosity of women in compare to men، their position in the hierarchy of religious authority and their involvement in religious communities have been controversial contemporary issues in this area. The emergence and expansion of new communication technologies including internet and the presence of religion on virtual space، especially virtual religious communities have made this issue more complex. This study is a part of a virtual ethnographic study which aims to explore the type and level of women''s religious participation in the virtual religious community; and whether using internet and cyberspace by women is promoting their position in the virtual religious community. Data was gathered from Imam Reza''s club on cloob. com by using webnography method and a long-term online participation، and data was analyzed by content analysis. The results of this study showed that women are more active and have higher level of participation in all types of religious activities in compare to men. They also have a good position in hierarchy of religious authority in the community. It seems that women not only have empowered themselves with the proper use of cyberspace facilities to pursue their religious interests regardless of the gender constraints of actual religious communities، but also have challenged patriarchal religious authority of religious communities. It seems that the virtual religious communities in compare to actual religious communities are more egalitarian and without gender constrains.

This research aims to study and utilization of the new communication theories in the field of psychology and media psychology. Therefore, it can open a door through a new subject on cyberspace and cyber-psychology in an interdisciplinary perspective. In this regard, upon completion of the theoretical studies, an investigation was conducted to explore the relation between blog usage and attitude towards blog virtual relationships. So, 310 undergraduate students of University of Tehran based on spending time on blogs were divided into three major groups, each one includes two subgroups based on gender. All groups were asked to complete one questionnaire: Attitude towards Blog Virtual Relationships. The results show significant Pearson correlation between attitude and the time spent on blogs.Furthermore, it assessed the value of participants’ reliance to virtual relationships and its relation with blog usage through Rely Index. The results showed no significant Pearson correlation in this matter.

Presence at virtual space and use of the net, particularly constantly and permanently versus secondarily , and or with professional and semi- professional motivation versus entertainment montivations would have various and profound effects on the different aspects of identity as well as life style of Iranian users, especially  youth –as a largest group of people engaging through he space- in terms of the features , facilities and opportunities of this space and the social, cultural and ecomomic state of youth in transition metropolitans. In fact, Iranian users regarding their subjective and objective in their real world and also their kind and degree of usage of the net would receive different and broad changes gradually. In this paper we study the social effect of presence at virtual space and use of the net –as a new communication technology- on the various dimensions of identity, attitudes, and positions of Iranian users. The findings have been gathered through qualitative method and some techniques like in – depth interview, field research among 10 professional users as well as participative observations and content analysis of some weblogs. The study reveals that constant use of the net and especially interaction and exchang of information with other users will lead to constituting of modern and reflexive identity among the users. Meanwhile, the rate, kind and way of use and also the management of the self by Iranian users at virtual space will affect the quality and quantity of identity change of users .
