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.

AbstractThe violent actions of students at the school level have become one of the main issues of the education system in recent years, as we witness bitter and violent events at the school level every day. This research was carried out with the aim of Analyzing and gaining knowledge about the phenomenon of adolescent violence in school using a qualitative and ground theory method in the academic year of 1400-1401. The participants in the research were 32 students with violent behaviors and 4 students who were aware of these behaviors, and a total of 36 male students of the second secondary level of Karaj city were interviewed. Sampling was purposeful and with maximum variety, and interviews were conducted individually and based on semi-structured interview format, according to the participants' experiences, and analyzed using MAXQDA 20 software. Based on Strauss and Corbin's model, the variables "authoritarian parenting style", "economic problems", "bullying identity display", and "family disorder" as causal conditions and the categories of "virtual bullying" and "prejudice" as background conditions. "Inefficiency of schools" and "decrease in the level of resilience" were determined as intervening conditions. The strategy of teenagers with violent behavior includes bullying, denial of violence and dialogue (discussion in order to resolve conflict), which have been faced with consequences such as "psychological injuries", "punishment", and "regret and regret". The central category of the research is named "violence as a person's reaction to nervousness".

Population is one of the important and vital issues in any country, and fertility and childbearing are considered as its main components. The present study aims to understand the perception of women regarding the impact of incentive policies on childbearing. This research uses a qualitative research method and a case study approach, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. To achieve the research objectives, 17 married women with different educational and occupational levels living in Tehran were purposively selected, and the interviews continued until data saturation was reached. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis method. The research findings are categorized into two main themes: “Barriers related to fertility and childbearing” and “Perception and understanding of women participating in supportive childbearing policies”, which include sub-themes such as “Financial and economic challenges”, “Marginalization of maternal values”, “Changes in values and norms”, “Lack of maternal skills and capabilities”, as well as themes like “Perception and understanding of supportive policies”, “Advertising and information dissemination”, “Implementation of incentive policies”, “Childbearing as a religious and national duty”. Overall, the research findings indicate that the demands and desires of the interviewed women for desirable policy-making in the field of childbearing incentive policies can be categorized into two groups: “Providing maternal facilities” and “Making job integration and women’s affairs compatible”. It is necessary for policymakers to pay special attention to these demands and desires of women in addition to the supportive policies provided.

The main purpose of this qualitative study is to analyze causes, contexts and consequences of erlay marriage from standpoint of married school- girls. The conceptual framework of this study refers to the sociological Theories about family. The present study is qualitative (field) one. In this study, based on purposive and theoretical sampling methods are selected 16 married female school- girls in Sardrood section of Razan city as sample; the criterion of determining the sample size is theoretical saturation. Data are collected via open-ended questionnaires and in-depth individual interviews. They are divided into 3 main categories, 8 sub-categories and 27 concepts, which analyzed and interpreted with contextual analysis technique. The results of this qualitative study show that from standpoint of the students who got married at the young age, they are two main reasons for erlay marrige, personal and family. Married girls consider the individual reasons for early marriage as “individual competition”, “reducing the risk of singlehood”, “lake of a clear future (other than marriage), “obtaining the patental consent”, and the family reasons as “control and domination over woman”, “strengthening the kinship ties” and “take care of childern”. According to married girls, the cultural contexts of early marriage are social and religious values of marriage” and its social contexts are “collapse of the family”, “social networks”, and “flexibility of the law (prohibition of marriage with children)”. The consequences of early marriage are “early adulthood”, “loss of women's subjectivity”, “incompatibility of roles”, “enclosure of women in private sphere” and “social status”.

This study aims to identify the factors influencing the tendency toward singlehood among employed women in executive agencies in Tehran, with an emphasis on modern lifestyle indicators. A qualitative research method with a grounded theory approach was employed, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 experts in the field of family studies. The findings reveal that the tendency toward singlehood among employed women is influenced by three main categories: social transformations, financial and economic dimensions, and cultural and identity-related characteristics.In the domain of social transformations, the redefinition of values and social attitudes, parental acceptance of new lifestyles adopted by their children, and broader shifts at both macro and micro levels were key influencing factors. In terms of financial and economic aspects, women’s participation in the economy, rising marriage costs, and increasing economic uncertainties have driven many women toward choosing a single lifestyle. Additionally, in the cultural and identity dimension, family-based cultural capital, changing patterns of leisure activities, and evolving feminine values have played a critical role in shaping women’s attitudes toward marriage.The results of this study indicate that the tendency toward singlehood among employed women is not merely an individual choice but is closely tied to structural changes within society. Shifting social attitudes, increased participation of women in economic and academic activities, economic pressures, and cultural changes have led to delayed marriages and a growing desire for independence. These developments highlight the need for social policies that align with the needs and priorities of employed women.

Cancer is a distressing and difficult experience for women. Despite the numerous challenges posed by this disease, especially for married women, few studies have examined these challenges. The present study was conducted with the aim of explaining the challenges experienced by women with female cancers, using a qualitative method and thematic analysis technique. The study began in December 1402 and data collection and study lasted until June 1403. Purposeful sampling was conducted on 24 married women with female cancers living in Qom; participants were aged 20 to 65 years.In total, 9 main categories and 33 sub-themes were identified, and the final theme of “multifaceted dysfunction” was extracted as a summary of the participants’ lived experiences. The main themes in the first stage were the initial painful encounter with the disease; In the treatment phase, the threat to the role of wife, mental turmoil, emotional vulnerability, decreased family support, structured limitation of services, quality of service provided by the medical staff; and in the post-treatment phase, the threat to the role of wife-motherhood, psychological and material anxiety of the disease returning. The results showed that married women with female cancers face various challenges from the moment they are informed of the disease until after treatment. Understanding these challenges can provide a proper understanding of the issues of this group of women at each stage so that specialists, in addition to medical treatments, can design more effective and comprehensive assistance programs to improve their health status in all aspects.

Accordingly, the aim of this study is to analyze mothers' performance in the process of shaping their children's cultural capital and to identify the challenges they face along this path. This study employed an ethnographic approach, using semi-structured ethnographic interviews and observations for data collection. The participants included 20 mothers aged 33 to 48 . The findings indicate that mothers, through their emotional capital, utilize various resources to establish strong bonds with their children and cultivate traits that society values as cultural capital. They achieve this through self-sacrifice and by dedicating significant time to direct education or by enrolling their children in various classes to equip them with diverse skills, thereby shaping their cultural capital. However, mothers encounter several challenges in the process of generating and accumulating cultural capital for their children, including: 1) The dilemma of being an "adequate" or "perfect" mother; 2)The conflict between motherhood, employment, and professional advancement; 3) A perceived lack of cultural capital. The research findings indicate that mothers, by leveraging their emotional capital, use resources to establish a strong bond with their children in order to cultivate qualities in their children that are valued by society. They spend time teaching their children or equip them with various skills by taking them to different classes, thereby shaping their children's cultural capital. In the process of producing and accumulating cultural capital in their children, mothers face challenges that entail both negative and positive outcomes for them.

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.

Nowadays, access to the Internet and virtual space has spread among all sections of society and has affected various aspects of life. The purpose of the research is the relationship between the use of virtual space and the social capital of people with disabilities. The research method is a survey and the statistical population of people with physical, mobility, vision, hearing, sound and speech disabilities is covered by the welfare of Tehran province. Using Cochran's formula, 383 people were randomly selected as a sample size. The social capital questionnaire of Nahapit and Ghoshal (1998) was used to collect data. The findings showed that the use of virtual space by people with disabilities had a direct and meaningful relationship with interpersonal trust, generalized trust, institutional trust, cooperation, social support and social cohesion. But the use of virtual space had an inverse and significant relationship with social participation and social relations. In general, 63.8% of the variance of social capital is explained by the use of virtual space. The educational and research use of virtual space compared to other variables has had the greatest impact on the social capital of people with disabilities covered by the welfare of Tehran province. The result is that although the use of virtual space has reduced the participation and face-to-face social relations of people with disabilities. But more use of this space, especially in the educational aspect, has led to cooperation, support, trust and social cohesion of people with disabilities.

The studied community includes Trans people of Marivan city, 13 of them were selected through purposeful sampling and based on the principle of saturation. The data collection tool was in-depth interview. The credibility of the findings was achieved through the continuous presence of the researcher in the research field and performing all the steps according to the developed research program. And the transferability the findings was achieved through writing memos and thick descriptions and comparing the findings with research findings and conceptual framework. The obtained findings confirm that at a micro level, Trans people have considered being trans as: the dissolution of a non-same-sex soul in a person's body, a limitation, disorder, and conflict. At the middle level, families have considered their child's being Trans as a stigma and a fake and unreal product. At the macro level, society has defined being transgender as a sexual deviance and as a sexual object that is sexually abused. Transsexual is a condition that is accompanied by stigma and social exclusion, and Trans people are also fighters who try to conquer their identity territory and accept it to society in an unequal war.

social development of societies, is a process of integration of the individual in the community, which is formed by expressive and moral actions.During the formation of this component, many social and cultural factors such as religiosity, ethnic identity, feeling of relative deprivation, etc. are influential.The purpose is to investigate the factors affecting the social cohesion of the youth of Ahvaz city. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of method.The statistical population is young men and women aged 18 - 29 in Ahvaz city in 1402 with a population of 1,245,237 people.According to Morgan's table, the sample size was 384 people, which was distributed in a three-stage cluster sampling method;The data collection tools were social cohesion questionnaires by Flensberg (2006)(22 items), religiosity by Glock and Stark (1965)(29 items), relative deprivation by Lehsaizadeh (2011)(6 items)and Hajiani's ethnic identity (2018)(15 items).The data analysis shows that the citizens had a medium level of social cohesion,ethnic identity and feeling of relative deprivation and a high level of religiosity. Inferential findings have also confirmed the hypothesis of the effect of religiosity and ethnic homogeneity on social cohesion and rejected the hypothesis of the effect of feeling of relative deprivation on social cohesion. By strengthening religiosity and ethnic identity and weakening the feeling of relative deprivation in the studied society with the special feature of ethnic and cultural pluralism, it is possible to strengthen social cohesion and, following that, national cohesion.

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.
