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 present research aimed to predict high-risk behaviors based on positive youth development and positive psychological capital in adolescents.

This study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population consisted of adolescents in the city of Tehran in 2020, from which 298 people were selected using the convenience sampling method. The tools used in this research included the questionnaires of Iranian adolescents' risk-taking, positive youth development, hope, resilience, self-efficacy, and optimism. Pearson's correlation and stepwise regression were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that the dimensions of positive youth development and positive psychological capital were significantly associated with high-risk behaviors and attitude towards substance use in adolescents. The results of the regression analysis also indicated that the components of positive youth development and psychological capital explained 45% of the variance of high-risk behaviors.

According to the obtained results, positive youth development and positive psychological capital (hope, resilience, self-efficacy, and optimism) play an important role in predicting high-risk behaviors in adolescents. Positive youth development and positive psychological capital can reduce the occurrence and continuation of the tendency to high-risk behaviors in adolescents. Therefore, the design of interventions based on the improvement of these characteristics is suggested as a basis for reducing high-risk behaviors in this group of people.

From the beginning of life until reaching the age of puberty, a human goes through several stages of growth, which requires having desirable biological and psychological characteristics and successfully entering social life and aligning with accepted values, norms and patterns of social behavior. He will go through the stages of growth in a favorable way. If the factors related to growth are disrupted in different stages of his development, the child and adolescent are at risk of deviating from the path of conformity with accepted values, norms and patterns. Childhood is a time full of future-making moments.If the conditions for healthy growth are provided for the child, this growth will be positive and if such conditions are not provided, the child is at risk of deviating from the path of healthy growth. Considering the various rights stipulated for children in international documents and investigating the situation of delinquent children and teenagers and the violation of many of the aforementioned rights regarding them, it shows that the violation of the rights of proper development puts children at risk of committing crimes. All aspects of the child's development, including his sociability and control, are related to the family in some way, and disruption in any of the family's functional areas; It puts children and teenagers at risk of delinquency.

The present study aimed to compare addiction readiness components among adolescents with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and normal peers.

This research was a descriptive, causal-comparative study. The statistical population consisted of all male high school students aged 13 to 18 years in the city of Tabriz in the academic year of 2022-2023.

Data were analyzed by t-test of two independent groups in SPSS software. The results showed that adolescents in cyberspace had a dual identity in religious, family, sexual, national, ethnic and cultural dimensions. Adolescents' identities were more structured, coherent, and real in real space, and more mobile, unstable, and unstable in cyberspace.An identity that, according to some characteristics, can be called a modern or rethinking identity. Adolescents, in addition to trying to preserve traditional sources of identity in the real world, portrayed themselves as pro-global or cosmopolitan in cyberspace.

Parents greatly influence their children lives, as children imitate their parents’ behaviors and attitudes. Improving parents' interactions and behaviors can lead to positive changes in their children's social skills and maturity. This study examines the relationship between social maturity and social skills of teenagers in Yazd city and their parents' social adequacy and acceptance. 

Methods and Data: 

The method is a correlational study with a sample of 150 mothers with teenage children in Yazd.
