Political awareness is a skill that can be learned and developed, and it is not separate from the subject (human social life), the goal (knowledge and ability to make decisions about collective affairs) and the destination (finding or building ways for human happiness in society) of political science. Therefore, political awareness is not a side product, but one of the main features of political science. Considering the importance of citizens' political awareness as a stable national capital, this article has been made with the aim of drawing a model of the role of political science in public political awareness by using foundational data theory. For this purpose, 18 specialized semi-structured interviews were conducted with political science professors dominated in the field of political awareness, whose text analysis in the open coding process led to the emergence of 426 initial codes related to 136 abstract concepts in the form of 25 categories. According to the findings of the article, causal conditions including political science human resources, the nature of political science, scope of action, political science groups, communication channels, professional specialties and psychological factors have the greatest impact on role-playing promotion strategies. Political science contributes to public political awareness. These strategies are secondarily affected by the components of external origin, such as the society and the government and their subcategories, which are classified as contextual and intervening factors.

Along with the developments leading to Constitutional Era, other social developments were emerging, which played a significant role in public awareness and liberation. This process which significantly formed in the area of critical literature in the form of humor and in the realm of press and literature, provided for the enlightenment of graduates` thoughts, intellectuals, carriers and agents of change, and in the final analysis, the general public.

With the spread of the so-called "network society", individuals in society became more and more integrated into an interconnected structure. This connection caused their behaviors to be influenced by this society in various aspects. In the meantime, not all of their behaviors are "normal" and "anomic" behaviors have been affected by these networks. In this study, we examine the effect of new social media including WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram and Twitter on anomic behaviors. Social media use is an independent variable and vandalism is a dependent variable, and political awareness is considered a moderating variable.

The issue of political socialization of women has been one of the most important concerns of the intellectual, cultural, social and political circles of the Third World in recent decades. Although this phenomenon is one of the achievements of modern culture and Western civilization, but today it has become a global concern that does not belong to other Western societies and the reason for this is its globalization and expansion. The present study was an attempt to answer the main question: to what extent is the extent to which political sociability is realized among educated women in Tehran? And what factors are considered as variables affecting it as an independent variable. For this purpose, to measure political sociability, according to studies and backgrounds conducted abroad and at home, he has used the three main indicators of political awareness, political attitude and political participation, and the sum of these three indicators makes our dependent variable. The research method of this research is survey, which has surveyed 384 educated women in Tehran using the Cochran's formula as a sample population, using a questionnaire. The reliability of the research questions was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha with an average value of 0.819.

Today, with the mediation of politics, a significant part of political activities is done through the media and especially online spaces. This study aimed to study the relationship between the variables of political socialization, political awareness and political effectiveness on online and offline political participation among students of Shiraz University and using structural equation modelling. Accordingly, 390 students completed a questionnaire using a stratified random sampling method appropriate to the selected volume and questionnaire. In all three models, the relationship between political awareness and total political participation and participation in online and offline space was not significant and there was only an indirect effect. But on the other hand, the relationship between political effectiveness with total political participation and online participation is significant, and here the political effectiveness of the mediating variable has affected the relationship between the two variables. The results of the research model test show that political socialization had the highest significant relationship with the dependent variable (political participation) (Beta = 56%). Also, the test of the research model indicates that the sum of independent research variables could explain 45% (R2 = 45%) of the changes in the research dependent variable, ie students' political participation

Comprehensive development has required increasing human capital and the maximum participation of different layers of society, especially women, who are about half of the population. To achieve this development model, we must know the process, nature, structure, and performance of the political-social system and be aware of the conditions and situation of the global communication networks and intelligent management of development programs. Since digital media provides the necessary conditions for the active presence of women in both private and public realms, it is a suitable tool for gaining awareness, provided that people know the skills to use it. These skills are called media literacy which is the ability to understand, evaluate and use media. This study examines the relationship between media literacy and political awareness components of Tehran women. The questionnaire of this research to investigate political awareness includes these indicators: important political events and developments of today, political literature (political terms and concepts), familiarity with national and transnational political groups, organizations, and factions, their rules, principles, and goals, recognition of prominent personalities, opinionated, influential, or having significant political and administrative positions), political patterns (set of principles, concepts, ideologies, and overt or hidden political tendencies in policies and their implementation), and political analyzes. Moreover, to better achieve the objectives and independent variable of this research, the media literacy component, including digital competence, digital usage, and digital transfer, has been considered.The research method was the survey and documentary. The statistical population included all Tehran women over 20 years old. The sample community was selected from the urban community, regardless of women's economic and social status. The number of women in Tehran was 4369551, and the sample size was 384. Questionnaires were distributed by random cluster sampling. Data were analyzed using SPSS by the Correlation coefficient, standard regression model, t-test, variance analysis of variables, and demographic statistics (marital, age, education, employment). The websites, web portals, and social networks were samples of digital media in this study. The study of the relationship between media and political awareness in previous research is mainly based on measuring people's practical behaviors and participation. Internal research focuses on studying the dimensions of political awareness based on individual or social characteristics of different layers of society, and research in other countries focuses on the use of political awareness in the field of public services. This research aims to identify the relationship between media literacy and political awareness of Tehrani women to expand women's activities in the public and developmental sphere of the country. The main question is, what effects media literacy skills of Tehrani women have on increasing their political awareness? The results show a significant (direct) relationship between digital media literacy and political awareness of Tehran women, especially in their knowledge and understanding of political concepts, patterns, and political schools of the day. At the same time, increasing women's political awareness can facilitate their political interactions and, if participation continues, provide a platform for the information of numerous new discourses in society. The demographic findings of this research based on the level of education, age, marriage, and employment show that Tehrani women, despite being more present in the community compared to previous years, do not have the development of skills appropriate for communication and information technologies. Furthermore, having media literacy skills regardless of age, employment and marital status of Tehrani women has a positive effect on achieving their political awareness of the duties and functions of agents and officials of the political system.The results indicate that there is a direct relationship between the level of education of women and the acquisition of media literacy skills, so the higher the level of education of people, the greater their familiarity and mastery of media literacy skills. Of course, it should be noted that women’s mental beliefs about the existence of male socio-political structures, legal inequalities, and even providing for the family's livelihood needs and activities in businesses outside the public domain of society, reduce the sufficient opportunity for the necessary motivation for the development of these skills. Considering the direct relationship between media literacy and political awareness, it can be said that women's political awareness has not significantly increased compared to the time and advanced information tools. It appears that spreading education on media literacy as a means of preventing the occurrence of irrational behavior in digital media, and improvements in political-social interactions among women through the education system of the country, are among solutions that should be considered for implementation in Iran.

The purpose of the present study is to review the relationship between stratification components and students’ awareness and political participation emphasizing on the students of Shahid Chamrān University in Ahwāz. The research method is descriptive-analytic and the results showed that in the qualitative part, seven traditional and modern components for stratification were recognized by the research experts through content analysis. According to the results, those who have a more active political participation are from higher social stratification. In other words, those who are raised in families with high political participation and awareness, get more involved in political activities. The hypothesis testing results revealed that components of social stratification have a significantly positive impact on the students’ political awareness and participation. Besides, there is a significant relationship between independent variables (education, social status, power, and wealth) and dependent variables (familiarity with political characters, acquaintance with the duties of internal and international political institutions and organizations, and political participation). The correlation coefficient results showed that the relationship between the students’ economic-social status and their political participation is 0.741 which is significantly positive. Moreover, the correlation between their economic-social status and political awareness is calculated to be 0.618 which is positive as well.

As a global widespread issue, corruption has deep roots in history of human being and human institutions and organizations. The World Bank states that corruption plays a cancer-like role that could kill the entire community. Understanding the importance and necessity of research about corruption would be made clearer by taking into account its effects, since corruption has adverse economic, social, political, and environmental consequences in all aspects of human life (e.g. political, economic, and social, to name a few). There are different indices to measure corruption: The Corruption Perceptions Index is one of several ways in which the International Transparency Organization systematizes corruption-related information. This index has been the most popular and applicable tool for measuring corruption. In this study, corruption perceptions index was used to measure the corruption in Sarpol-e-Zahab City.

This article was conducted using the quantitative method. The purpose of the research was descriptive-analytic and the method used in this article was survey. The statistical population used in this study was people of Sarpol-e-Zahabcity. The sample size was 400 people and cluster sampling was used in this regard. The data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the research were assessed using formal and structural validation, and Cronbach's alpha test, respectively. The dependent variable in this study was the perception of corruption, which was measured in three dimensions: attitude to corruption, trend of corruption over time, and prevalence of corruption in offices. Independent variables were: media consumption, political awareness, value orientation, and economic base. In addition, in this study, gender was examined as a contextual variable.

 The results showed that corruption has mostly occurred in the municipalities. However, the least corruption was seen in universities. According to results, the embezzlement increased in the community over the past ten years, while there has been little change in the level of bribery and gambling. In addition, men's perception of corruption was significantly higher than women. The results showed that perceptions of corruption differed between the two existing political trends in the country; in fact, the perception of reformist corruption was greater than the perception of fundamentalist corruption. The results of Pearson correlation test showed that Corruption Perceptions Index had a positive and significant relationship with the variables of political awareness, media consumption and modern value orientation, but corruption perception was not significantly correlated with socioeconomic status. Finally, based on the results obtained through path analysis, it was recognized that the variable of political awareness had the highest role in explaining the perception index of corruption.According to the results, the prevalence of corruption in all organizations was not equal; in fact, there was less corruption in cultural organizations. In addition, there was the highest corruption in organizations dealing with economic activities. An important point to note is the respondents' awareness of the state of the corruption process in the last ten years. This level of awareness seems to be influenced by the expansion of access to the mass media, a matter that was confirmed in this study. According to theoretical literature, there is a strong relationship between the perception of corruption and the actual rate of corruption in society. Looking at the statistics obtained in this study, it can be seen that in the last few years there has been a great deal of embezzlement. The mechanism of the link between political awareness and the perception of corruption is that individuals are better able to respond to the functioning of government by becoming aware of the political process. But, more importantly, there was the perception of corruption in political tendencies. Reformists are usually critical of the political system, but in contrast, the fundamentalists are in line with the political system. This is why, according to the reformists, corruption is high in the country. In explaining the relationship between the modern value orientation and the perception of corruption, it can be said that the tendency to modernize increases the tendency for transparency and rationality. Thus, with the increase in the level of modernization, people are becoming more sensitive to corruption and administrative transparency. Explaining the difference between men and women in their perceptions of corruption requires further investigation. However, in any case, gender still seems to play an important and influential role in the society. Another important and noteworthy point is that the socio-economic bases have no relation with the perception of corruption. However, the results of previous research contradict this finding. So, there is a need for more research to better understand this matter.
