The elderly are one of the target groups of social workers.The experience of aging, from the point of view of the elderly, on the one hand reveals the facts that are hidden to us and on the other hand provides us with a deep, inclusive and meaningful understanding of the socio-cultural status of aging in society. On this basis, a deeper understanding of the issues and needs and challenges that the elderly face is essential to adopt and develop appropriate programs to achieve dynamic and health-centric agingThis study is a qualitative study using phenomenological approach to study the life experience of elderly people in Isfahan. The sample was saturated in the target-based theoretical sampling method in 20 cases and then no new data were obtained, thus, by the logic of qualitative research sampling, the same number was sufficient, until a semi-structured interview was conducted.Interview data were analyzed using Phenomenological method in Colaizzi method. According to the findings of this study, the problems, needs and harms of old age perceived by the elderly in four physical, economic, emotional and emotional contexts (disrespect and disregard for the elderly, feelings of loneliness and exclusion, deprivation of children and social domination) and social (Lack of familiarity with modern space and curiosity, the problem of leisure time), as well as the perception of the elderly of these times, were identified in two categories: the feeling of dissatisfaction and appreciation (majority narrative) and the feeling of non-biological satisfaction in aging (narrative of the elderly).

Abstract Based on traditions of qualitative research and grounded theory, the present research tries to study the dimensions of parent abuse (children’s violence against their parents) which is often kept secret by parents. Results of previous research suggest that considering the causes, context of the formation and consequences of this violence as well as its prevalence, parent abuse should be considered a social problem. Based on in-depth interviews conducted with 40 parents in Tehran, the instances of violence against parents were classified in three categories: emotional, physical, and financial aspects which in turn led to reactions from parents toward themselves, towards the child or towards a third person. The causes of violence were grouped in micro, meso and macro levels which could have implications for individuals and their families. Parental strategies against this phenomenon were categorized in two active and passive strategies. At the end, findings were articulated in a concept model. Although this study can have certain theoretical contributions to the field of family violence which has been neglected earlier, due to the small sample size, the generalizability of the results is not possible. Keywords: Domestic Violence, Fatherhood, Motherhood, Generations, Violence Against Parents

purposive sampling strategy. In order to achieve the reality reconstruction, the interviews were analyzed in a process consisting of multi-step ordering, coding, pattern revealing, and typology. Despite some vulnerabilities, the results show that 16 types of power for children are discoverable which one can classify into two major categories of acquisitive and transmitted power. Primarily, these types of power are of the dependent, conditional, temporary, potential, illegitimate, instant, exhibitive, and short-rang essence, and they should be considered in the power-dependency network and the need for parents.

Teenagers’ Power Balance at Home with Regard to ICTS as a Social Problem: The New Power Types and Activism Amplification[1] Soheila Sadeghi Fassaei[2] , Iman Erfanmanesh[3] Received: 17/6/2017 Accepted: 14/10/2017 Abstract During the past decade, the intensification in the trend of domestication of ICTS, as a newborn social problem, in Iranian families has created a new experience and perception of everyday family life in the aspects of assignments and rights, imagination and expectation of roles, surveillance, as well as the parent-child relations. One of the most significant achievements of this problem has been the amplification of the activism potency and the potential dormant abilities of adolescent children as a result of adopting technological gadgets as a booster. The authors have investigated the analysis of the mentioned factors by conducting a field research in Tehran (regions 3, 6 & 11). For this purpose, the multi-dimensional theoretical and analytic approach was adopted concerning the relationship between technology and elements such as power, consumption, individualism, socialization, as well as language. The theoretical framework was inspired by the Structuration paradigm generated by Anthony Giddens. Furthermore, applying the semi-structural interview technique, 120 cases of 13-17 year-old adolescents were interviewed according to the theoretical and [1]. This article is from the Ph.D. thesis.
