The dispersion of study results reveals the need for research on the consequences of social support to achieve a relatively comprehensive picture of the findings and challenges. The purpose of study is classification of the variables related to the consequences of social support in Iranian society. The method used is systematic review. The statistical population included published scientific articles addressing issue of social support and its consequences. Related articles were searched in Iranian scientific databases. Based on the inclusion criterion, the most relevant articles with the objectives of the study (40 articles) were selected. To access the data of the articles, the data extraction worksheets were designed and adjusted in the form of twelve indicators and were completed based on the coding and annotations of each worksheet. After reviewing and comparing the worksheets for each article, the obtained data were collected and analyzed as well. A systematic review shows that the variable of social support as the variable studied in this study has been studied in relation to 18 variables; The variables identified as social support consequences in the reviewed studies are classified and summarized in four types of physical consequences, psychological consequences, social consequences and cultural-attitudinal consequences. Psychological, social, and cultural-attitudinal variables separately have the highest frequency in 12.5% of cases and physical variables in 2.5% of cases have the least importance among the authors of the researched researches. Mental health and quality of life were the most repeated among the consequences of social support in the reviewed articles.

Hope for the future in recent social science studies indicates a positive assessment of the improvement of economic and social conditions. Evaluation of one's future is greatly influenced by evaluation of past trends and the current state of society. In fact, respondents' assessment of the future is a kind of critique of the current and past situation and policies; A kind of reflection evaluation and critique of the continuity and stickiness of current policies. This perception is reminiscent of the historical nature of the issue of hope. In this paper, society’s assessment of the future is reviewed based on data from the National Social Health Survey. In this survey, which was conducted in 2018, the respondents' assessment of the future situation was sought in eight economic and social areas: welfare status, happiness, moral and religious values, economic status, status of empathy, housing status, health status, and employment status. One question is asked about each of these, and the three options "gets better", "does not change", and "gets worse" are presented to the respondents. Putting the data of this survey with the two surveys of Iranians 'values and attitudes and social capital over time shows the declining trend of Iranians' hopeful assessment of the future. Using the data in the analytical and statistical reports of related areas such as poverty, unemployment, regional inequalities and the status of the provinces, etc., the relationship between the survey data and the actual situation of the society is explained.
