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.

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”.

Pregnancy is a period of significant life changes for families, requiring adaptation and coping with new challenges. Social workers, due to their expertise in social services, play a key role in providing comprehensive prenatal care. However, there is no comprehensive research in Iran on the role of social workers and their theoretical approaches during the prenatal period. This systematic review aimed to identify these roles and approaches by examining 17 international articles published between 2010 and 2023. The results indicate that social workers utilize a variety of theories, particularly interactional and social theories. This study also emphasizes that social justice is a core principle of prenatal social work. Using theories such as feminist, racial discrimination, and empowerment, social workers strive to reduce social and health disparities and promote the well-being of mothers, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The findings of this research highlight the importance of multi-faceted and community-based approaches in prenatal social work interventions. Furthermore, interprofessional collaboration between social workers and other healthcare professionals is essential for providing comprehensive and effective services to mothers and infants. The findings of this study can serve as a basis for improving service quality and developing intervention programs in prenatal social work in Iran.

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.

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".
