A number of studies have examined some forms of child labor, but there are no studies that systematically address the various forms of child labor, their contexts, characteristics, and consequences. In this study, using a qualitative method, the forms of child labor in Tehran have been studied. The study was conducted using the grounded theory method. The study population consists of three groups of children, their employers and child specialists. In order to analyze the findings, a three-step coding method was used to construct the theory of child labor. Findings show that children in Tehran work in various forms of work, including the worst form of work. The relations of these works are divided into three categories: kinship, employer and organized. The main causes of child labor are the development gap in the country, the war and poverty in Afghanistan, the poverty of families, the culture of some communities about children and child labor, the informal labor market and the legal framework and law enforcement. Also, the reasons for children and their families to work are to cover part of the household expenses, to learn skills in the absence of a link between education and employment. The main strategies of children and their families are a number of actions in order to promote and increase income and reduce work risks. In addition to being exploited, children in various forms of work, depending on their circumstances and characteristics, harms their physical and mental health and disorder their effective socialization.

The present study aimed to review the studies related to successful aging in Middle Eastern countries using a systematic review method and a Meta-summary approach to identify the factors affecting successful aging. Forty-three different studies conducted in various Middle Eastern countries over ten years ending in 2023 were subjected to systematic review. After assigning codes and conducting a holistic analysis of the reviewed articles, the extracted cases were analyzed, synthesized, and combined. The results showed that six individual, religious, economic, lifestyle, social, and cultural factors are effective in successful aging. The relevant theories on successful aging that existed in the reviewed studies were studied, and important points such as successful aging theoretical models and the disengagement theory were highlighted as theoretical findings of the research. The findings indicate that physical and mental health, social relationships and support, being with family, having savings and insurance, relying on spirituality, and having a healthy lifestyle are the most important indicators of successful aging in the Middle East.

AbstractThe main purpose of this study was to explain the positive attitude towards addiction through a mechanistic model based on variables such as label, exclusion and feeling the need to use drugs. From a methodological point of view, this quantitative study was an explanatory survey. The statistical population was all the women undergoing treatment in addiction treatment centers of Golestan province in 2021, and 187 valid questionnaires were collected by available sampling method. The test of the research model was done by relying on the structural equation model (Amos26).The results of the hypothesis process showed that the social label directly leads to an increase in social exclusion, then social exclusion has a significant effect on the feeling of needing to use drugs. Furthermore, the feeling of needing to use drugs has a strong influence on the positive attitude towards drugs. In general, the mentioned variables explain 0.69% of the variance of the positive attitude towards drugs. Therefore, a positive attitude towards addiction is a function of feeling the need to use drugs, which itself is a function of exclusion and social label.

The purpose of this research is to identify the conditions leading to recidivism in prison. An ethnographic method was used to achieve this goal. Information was collected through interviews with 20 male prisoners with a history of returning to prison as informants, field observation, and the study of documents. The findings showed that the prison has an official mechanism for dealing with the prisoner that operates at five levels: meeting the prisoner's biological needs, receiving and evaluating, providing training, support, and care, and improving the prisoner's social relations. Also, the analysis of the interviews led to the emergence of five main categories: the prisoner label and the experience of social exclusion, the density of prisoners, the lack of protective classification of prisoners, the inefficiency of support and care systems, and inefficient and ineffective education. The ward provides informal support and training as a center for receiving official biological and support services. Male prisoners returning to prison are practically aligned with the informal socialization system, and the official system does not have the necessary efficiency to communicate with this group of prisoners. The existing official mechanism is also unable to achieve its set goals.

This study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the social dimensions of mourning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The sources or statistical society of this research includes all the qualitative and quantitative research, published both in the Persian and in English, conducted on the social dimensions of mourning during the Covid-19 between December 2019 and May 2023. Based on the entry-exit criteria of the articles, 287 articles were obtained, and after searching, screening and qualitative evaluation of the studies, at the end of the final synthesis, 28 articles were selected. According to the findings of this research, 71.43% of the selected articles were done by qualitative methods and 28.57% by quantitative methodologies. The most used tool was the interview with which 60.71% of the articles had been done. Regarding the practical solutions and suggestions extracted from the studies, the highest frequently suggested approach was the emphasis on the necessity of developing a culture of condolence and virtual mourning and memorial ceremonies to support the survivors (32.14%). Also, the highest level in the distribution of categories was related to the category of disruption in the process of mourning rituals which was 21.43%. The results of this research show that people's reaction to bereavement during the Covid-19 pandemic is closely related to social and cultural aspects, and despite the importance of the social aspects of bereavement and health, more attention has been paid to its psychological and physical aspects.

Today, the spread of dependency on drugs in the national and international scope imposes a lot of costs on governments, and it is essential to carry out social and research to reduce these costs. This research uses a structural perspective to answer the questions. What is the state of fighting against drug addiction in Iran? Furthermore, the research compares Iran with some other countries to reveal the weaknesses and strengths of fighting against drug addiction in Iran. The research has made use of the secondary analysis method. The written documents and the existing statistics available in international organizations have been employed to answer the questions. The findings were analyzed in four segments including comparing the situation of drug abuse in Iran and other countries, drug abuse and some indicators of human and welfare development, general policies in solving the problem of drug abuse in Iran and the world, and finally the dynamics of the drug market in the world. the research showed that drug abuse is increasing in Iran and the world, and psychedelics are dominant over drug abuse. In this path, policies based on fighting the reduction of supply and demand of drugs just increase the costs of drug addiction in society if they don’t consider strengthening the economic and social infrastructure of the society. Therefore, the policy-making experiences of countries with low drug abuse show that solving drug abuse requires culturalization and strengthening of the socio-economic foundation of the society. In other words, fighting against causes not effects.

Migration is not always associated with a purely positive result and has various consequences. The purpose of this research was to Evaluation the psychosocial challenges of Afghan immigrant adolescents living in Rafsanjan. In the spring of 1402, 14 people from this group, who had lived in Rafsanjan for at least two years, were selected by purposeful sampling. The method of this research was descriptive phenomenology and data were obtained using semi-structured interviews and 2 final interviews were conducted to ensure data saturation. The content of the interview was coded with the seven-step method of Claysey. And finally, 72 sub-themes and 17 main themes were extracted and these items were placed in five core themes "psychological problems, cultural-communication challenges, job challenges, problems related to lifestyle change and family challenges". The findings of the present study showed that the hardships of the immigration process, along with bad memories and the challenges of adapting to the new culture in this age range, made adolescents vulnerable to mental health problems and social harms. Therefore, in order to have healthy and empathetic people, our society should have more cultural acceptance of this group and mental health services should be provided according to them.

Previous researches about the relationship between religious belief and morality have reached conflicting findings and this shows that the effect of religious belief on morality cannot be direct. Therefore, for the pathology of religious belief, it is necessary to see which characteristics of religious belief can contribute to which forms of immorality under which conditions. The present study hypothesized that attribution to God makes it easier to justify passive immorality (omission of actions) and makes passive immorality seem more acceptable. With the purpose of testing this hypothesis and in a correlational design, 499 participants (230 men) with an average age of 37 years were selected among 30,000 subscribers of Hamrahe Avval and Irancell living in Tehran and Karaj and were randomly assigned into two groups of passive immorality (who read six stories about passive immorality) and active immorality (who read six stories about active immorality). Religious belief was measured with the Supernatural Beliefs Scale (Jong, Bluemke, & Halberstadt, 2013), and attribution to God and acceptance of immorality were measured with a researcher-made questionnaire. Regression analyses showed that the subjects who had more religious belief attributed passive immorality to God more than the subjects who had less religious belief, attribution to God predicted the acceptance of immorality, and religious belief had a negative relationship with the acceptance of immorality after excluding the variance of attribution to God. Also, the Moderated Mediation Model showed that attribution to God can explain why religious believers accept passive immorality more easily. These findings show tha

present study is a qualitative research that was conducted with the using grounded theory method with the aim of identifying the risk factors affecting recidivism. Researches has shown that if a person has certain risk factors, these factors will increase her or his chances of becoming a criminal. Using targeted sampling and then theoretical sampling,individuals with criminal records of more than two offenses (as sample units and observation units) were included in the research. Based on the analyses conducted in open and axial coding, the total causal conditions of crime repetition include 7 major categories and 17 subcategories, including: 1 -harmful compensation of lacks 2-unmet basic needs 3-individual-social disclusion 4- self-imprisonment 5-ineffective justice system 6-problematic redefinition of self-concept 7-criminal subcultural capital. Finally, we reached the core category of the sustainability of deprivation. which has multiple dimensions .individuals who engage in repeat offending, do so due to the continuity of a set of deprivations and that deprivation is not only caused by the individual actions of activists or due to the structure of society, but both of them have been effective in causing deprivation.Keywords: recidivism - risk factor - protective factor

The purpose of this research is to investigate the social and economic causes of the formation of the prostitution market and the consequences of the entry of prostitutes into this market. The research implementation method is grounded theory and based on interpretative paradigm, which is practical in terms of research results and in terms of cross-sectional study time (1398-1399). From the systematic analysis of in-depth interviews with 21 people from the prostitution market (prostitutes, pimps and clients) and experts in the field of prostitution in Bojnurd city, 33 subcategories, 15 core categories and finally based on the selective coding of the central phenomenon in the form of " Prostitution market, a thriving market based on forced provision of sexual services" was formed.". The results of the research showed that the central phenomenon identified was influenced by a set of factors including: "social helplessness", "abundance of demand", "high income for pimps" and "escalating poverty that leads to consequences including "intensification of vulnerability to dangerous factors", "continuous exposure to violence", "defamilization from everyday life" and "sexual exploitation of poor and socially disadvantaged women". Also, "active adaptation to the existing situation" and "intermittent/discontinuous resistance" are considered as the most important strategies facing prostitutes in this market.

This research has investigated the effectiveness of the family-based task centered model on the functioning of the working children's family. The importance of the present research is that for the first time in Iran, the family-based task centered model in social work interventions has been scientifically investigated and a protocol based on the task centered model for family-based intervention in working with the families of working children has been developed. The title of one of the vulnerable groups has been compiled and regulated.The current research is of an experimental type (pre-test-post-test with a control group), 30 families from the families of working children of "Talashegaran Yari Hamdel" Institute were sampled from among 50 families of the statistical population; In such a way that among the target statistical population, the families whose family performance scores were lower were determined and randomly placed in two experimental (15) and control (15) groups. Then, using the family-based task centered model, during 10 sessions, social work intervention based on the "family-based task centered model protocol" was implemented on the experimental group. Two methods of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used for data analysis and analysis was done using spss software.Based on the obtained results, the average scores of the experimental group after the implementation of the intervention in the family function variable and its dimensions show a significant difference.

The present study is a quantitative and survey research that has examined the relationship between physical activity, social isolation and depression among the elderly during the Covid-19 epidemic. The statistical population of the elderly (60 years and older) is in Ahvaz city, where 384 people were selected by simple random sampling. Also, the collected data were analytically analyzed using descriptive statistics and tests such as simple regression, correlation coefficients and path analysis using structural equation tests in the form of pls-smart3 and spss software. Based on the background and purpose of the study, it was found that there is no significant relationship between more physical activity and less depression in the elderly during the outbreak of Covid-19 disease. Also, more social isolation leads to more depression. For the method, the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, the Depression Scale for the Elderly, and the Promis social Isolation Scale were used. In this regard, path analysis was performed to assess the relationship between physical activity, social isolation, and depression. The results showed that out of 384 surveys conducted, according to the theoretical model of the research, higher social isolation had the highest impact factor on depression in the elderly (0.408). It was also found that the relationship between variables such as age and education with social isolation was not confirmed.

The life of people in the form of "homeless life" is one of the consequences of the development of the city, especially in Tehran metropolis. For this purpose, preparing and creating centers under the title of Madadsara (homeless shelter) is considered as one of the ways to empower and deal with this social phenomenon. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to investigate the perception and mentality of homeless people (sample number 12 people) from the Madadsara in the railway neighborhood of the 11th district of Tehran using the qualitative-phenomenological research method. According to the findings of the research, the average age of the participants of this research was 37.58 years. In this research, 16 structural categories were extracted from semantic and textual clusters that refer to the dimensions of daily life, identity elements, attitude, expectations, and lack of acceptance of homeless men towards shelters. The results of the research show that the formed structure of a homeless person's identity causes this person to show his rough life in the form of sleeping in heaven and earth, avoiding the framework, addiction in the form of vagrancy and vulgarity in the streets and alleys. From the point of view of homelessness, shelters are usually restrictive, poorly organized and poorly functioning. Therefore, it can be said that the causes of homeless men's lack of acceptance towards Madadsara are three important categories: "creating interference in the homeless life process", "weakness of facilities and equipment" and "weakness of human interactions".

The precise question of this article is,” How did imprisoned male prisoners experience family and school? Did these experiences lead them toward social deviance? ether the prison can stop the cycle of returning to the prison of male prisoners. This research was conducted using the qualitative approach of grounded theory. Data were collected through observation and semi-structured interviews with 20 male prisoners aged 35 to 50 who had experienced committing a crime and returning to Prison. In this review, the theories of Foucault, Sutherland, Gottfredson, and Hirschi were considered for theoretical sensitivity. The research findings show that the male prisoners who have returned to prison often fall into two paradigms of "disoriented youth" and "ambitious without tools.” The result of both paradigms is imprisoned. In the first paradigm, family and school, as the primary socializing institutions, are not prepared to face the intense sexual desires of these young men. The young men were categorized as violented people against the rules. In the second paradigm, the young man goes through the excitement of adolescence more quickly, but at the same time, he is not ready to face newer challenges in the family, job, and education. The important thing is that all the people admitted to prison did not necessarily appear from within the delinquent subculture. Still, the inefficiency of family and, school, led to the fact that the person's lack of preparation to face the ups and downs of life is incomplete and ineffective.

Research has categorized the data by coding categorical steps to uncover hidden meanings.The result of the research with the categories of what is harassment, the result and its characteristics, why the phenomenon, the type of intruders and solutions to solve it, harassment is caused by the difference in socio-economic location of perpetrators and victims. According to respondents, intruders are of low social level, uneducated, lacking skills and have people who are trying to make up for it with street harassment. Harassment can have such features based on the background and social type of the perpetrators, with mutual respect and equality of both sides. Social relationships beyond gender and the relationship between the two sexes are the main cause of the phenomenon of street harassment, and the way to reduce it is equality for everyone in access to basic needs, including marriage.

Although, the police are the main responsible for the prevention of drugs and psychotropic substance, due to the complexity and prevalence of this phenomenon, efforts are being made to use the capacities of the society like the youth to prevent this social pathology. This survey has investigated the youth participation in the prevention of the drugs and psychotropic substance and to examine its relationship with responsibility, police performance, awareness from the drugs consequences, problem solving skill, and some demographic variables. Population is the youth aged 18 to 30 in Yasouj, Gachsaran, and Dehdasht, that 332 cases were selected using the multi-stage random sampling method. Research instruments for measuring the participation in the prevention of the drugs, responsibility, police performance, and awareness from the drugs consequences are the researcher-made questionnaires, that their validity and reliability were assessed using the content validity and the Cronbach’s coefficient respectively. Furthermore, to measure the problem solving skill, the questionnaire prepared by D’Zurilla et al (2002) was employed. The descriptive findings showed that, the youth participation in the prevention of the drugs and psychotropic substance is on average and in particular, in the formal dimension (interaction & cooperation with police) is low. In addition, the analytical findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between police performance, awareness from the drugs consequences, problem solving skill, and the residency in Gachsaran, and the youth participation in the prevention of the drugs.

Caregivers have a unique role in the development of children, and this becomes even more important when the children living in residential child care facilities are addressed. The present investigation aimed at exploring the caregivers' experiences in taking care of children living in residential child care facilities (RCCF). In this qualitative study (1401), 19 caregivers were selected using maximum variation sampling. Private and public residential child care facilities in Tehran, Iran, were involved in the study. Unstructured interviews on caregivers' experiences in taking caring of children were employed to collect the data. The interviews were recorded, handwritten, and analyzed according to the "Klaizi" method. The obtained categories included drowning in work (subcategories of the spread of awakened parental feelings to all existence and suffering from children's pains), opportunity for growth (subcategories of opportunity for spiritual growth, care as raising children, opportunity for personal growth and taking caregiving seriously), and main categories of problems of upstream systems (subcategories of problems caused by the macro-social system and problems of the welfare organization system) and problems caused by the nature of the work (with subcategories of working with injured children and communication management difficulty). The experiences of caregivers participating in this study indicated that the job of caretaking, especially with such an audience, is a sensitive situation and easily goes beyond the job and involves all aspects of the caregiver's life. Therefore, supporting the caregivers is inevitable.
