Social support is one of the studied variables in psychological and social sciences. Social support promotes the mental health and well-being of individuals by influencing various individual and social areas and helps the individual to face problems. This study was about identifying the themes affecting social support from the perspective of psychotherapists. This research is considered as a qualitative research in terms of applied purpose and method. The research sample consisted of 18 psychologists and therapists who were working in Qom province in 1400. Sampling was done purposefully. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather information. Data collection continued until theoretical saturation and no new findings were found. Thematic analysis method was used to analyze the interviews. The results showed that the factors at the therapist level (skill elements), at the school level (educational elements), at the community level (social-legal elements), at the family level (interactive elements) at the parents level ( Interpersonal-subsistence elements), at the individual level (personality elements) were the themes affecting social support from the perspective of psychotherapists. Discussion: Social support from different dimensions and angles of human life can be analyzed and evaluated and the need to pay attention to this component from the perspective of experts and thinkers in various fields related to human beings is essential.

Using an analytical approach and proposing the question: How is the convergence of social policy and social work possible? this study aims to investigate the role of social work in social policy development and the effect of welfare ideologies, and consequently social policies on social work. This paper identifies and conceptualizes the areas of interest to express this relationship in two axial roles: 1) the minimalist role in which the social worker is only the executor of social policy. In this situation, the social worker appears in the role of social policy executor in organizations and centers that provide social services, and 2) the extremist role in which the social worker acts as the social policy reformer. In this situation, the social worker embarks on a plan to analyze the existing problem, to present a research proposal, and even approve the policy at the same time with implementing the social policies to determine the agenda for implementing or preventing the implementation of a policy. In this role, the social worker both helps with developing the effective social work in a two-way interaction with social policy and help with the dynamicity and evolution of the social policy in an organic connection; the synergy interaction which is considered as a necessity for up-to-date social work and applied social policy in Iran.

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).

The aim of this study was to predict self-harming in adolescent girls based on irrational beliefs, emotional dysregulation and social support. The statistical population of this descriptive-correlational study included all 12- to 19-year-old self-harming female students in Tehran in the academic year 2019 who they were studying in public schools, from which 150 people who scored a standard deviation above the average in the Inventory of Statements About Self-Injury were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected using the Jones (1968) Irrational Beliefs Questionnaire, the Gratz and Roemer (2004) Disacceptance of Emotional Responses Scale, and the Zimet et al.'s (1988) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. There is a positive and significant relationship between helplessness against change, expecting approval from others, avoiding problems and emotional irresponsibility with self-harming; there is a positive and significant relationship between non - acceptance of emotional responses, limited access to emotion regulation strategies during pressure, difficulty in performing targeted behaviors during pressure, lack of awareness, emotional clarity and difficulty in controlling shocks under pressure with self-harming and there is a positive and significant relationship between between family, community and family with self-harming (p<0.05). In addition, components of expectations from others are the ability, limited access to emotional regulation strategies, the difficulty of controlling the ability to predict self - harming (p<0.05). This study seems to have an important role in the relationship between self - harming with irrational beliefs, emotional dysregulation and social support in adolescent girls.

Most psychologists believe that happiness is having too much of pleasant emotions and too less of unpleasant ones, but according to Aristotle, humans are happy if they have the emotions that they want to have, even if those emotions are unpleasant. With the purpose of examining this theory of Aristotle, the present study tested the hypothesis that the discrepancy between the emotions that the individual have and the emotions that he wants to have, has a positive correlation with depression and a negative correlation with well-being. In a correlational design, a call for participation in this study was sent to 30,000 subscribers of the Hamrahe Avval and Irancell in Tehran, and 1410 (564 men) people with an average age of 26 years participated in the study. The research tools were a researcher-made questionnaire to measure the desired and experienced emotions, the Center of Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Correlation and regression analyses showed that the absolute discrepancy between desired and experienced emotions (which showed that how much each participant has experienced his/her desired emotions), can predict more depression and less well being, even in participants that experienced more pleasant and less unpleasant emotions than they desired, and even after statistically controlling experienced emotions. Therefore, happiness is not just the pleasant emotions, but any emotion, if desired, can increase our happiness.

In recent years population rejuvenation policies in Iran have been considered; But there are two different perspectives on the impact of this policies; Some have blamed rising youth unemployment for rising labor imbalances and others believe that because young people have more mobility to find a suitable jobs, it results into companies' job opportunities increasing to attract young people. Therefore in this study, with the aim of "examining the effect of cohort size on the employment rate in Iran" and using the secondary analysis method, a statistical population that includes people of working age by age groups (15-19 ..., 64-60 years) during the period of 1350-1395 in the country; Data analysis technique; And by controlling the independent economic, demographic and socio-cultural variables, we seek to answer the question of whether the employment of that generation will decrease with the increase of the population of one generation or not. The findings show that after controlling for variables, not only is there no inverse relationship between population and generational employment; Rather, there is no direct and strong relationship between the age groups of 35-39 years, 40-44 years, 55-59 years and 64-60 years, and no significant relationship is observed in other age groups.

Nowadays, the study of people’s conception toward the way they provide help in an earthquake is of utmost importance. The purpose of this study has been to describe and explain the condition of humanitarian help in the Kermanshah earthquake. To achieve this goal, a theoretical framework has been developed based on theories of social psychology: John Piliavin's social exchange, Latané and Darley’s theory of decision making process, and Alvin Goldner's Social Responsibility. The sample size of the study was 220 residents of Tehran aged over 18. A multi-stage cluster sampling method was used. The results showed that 69 percent of the people in Tehran contributed to the Kermanshah earthquake, 48 percent of which was in the form of cash and 36 percent non-cash. The explanatory results of the PLS software showed that the financial status of individuals had a coefficient of 29%, the extent of financial assurance to donor organizations had a coefficient of 19%, the experience of past earthquakes had a coefficient of 20%, and obtaining a spiritual reward had a coefficient of 16%.

Abstract In recent years, the necessity of professional ethics has attracted the attention of the authorities of organizations and institutions while aiming at improving the quality of services. Professional ethics is a fundamental part of social work practice in providing social services. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to develop a social work professional ethics questionnaire and standardize it. This study is of exploratory nature and its population is composed of all social workers employed in social service organizations of the Iranian capital of Tehran, meaning that the study pool is composed of about 868 people. A sample of 325 people was examined. The tool employed for collecting data for this study was a researcher-made professional ethics questionnaire whose factual validity was analyzed by university professors, content validity by the use of Cronbach's alpha, which was calculated 0.81, and its construct validity was investigated using exploratory factor analysis under the KMO test. The reliability of the information gathering tool was, also, examined through a re-examination method with a correlation coefficient of 0.85. According to the factor analysis performed, except for a few items that were eliminated, the validity of all items according to the KMO test were higher than 0/60. The eight dimensions considered for professional ethics according to the theoretical literature in this area were confirmed by the deletion of certain terms. These results indicate the validity and reliability of this questionnaire as a normative tool. Keywords: Standardization, Social Work, Professional Ethics, Questionnaire

The purpose of this research is to study the attitude towards the child phenomenon in the current world. In today's world, we are witnessing change and transformation in all aspects of individual, family and social life. Changes that are inevitable and necessary for the world that surrounds us. Hence, many pre-existing gender roles and sources of identity have lost their priority for modern man and provided him with newer possibilities for self-presentation and a sense of worth. The couple's attitude towards the child, as much as it is an individual or marital decision and choice, can be a result of the change of the couple's identity in the new era, which in both cases (Wanting or not wanting child) will have different consequences on the couple of the last decade than the couples of previous generations. The method of this theory is data foundation. The data required for this study are the result of a semi-structured interview with 18 young couples. The method of selecting participants is purposeful and accessible and their number is determined by reaching the saturation stage. Based on the results of the research, the two central phenomena of "unilateral unstable agreement" and "priority of navigation to adherence" were selected as the central phenomena and the selective phenomenon of "identity fluidity" was selected as the main paradigm. One of the causes of this phenomenon is rethinking identity and self-awareness is a process that results in the social acceptance of childlessness in society.

The Social Construction of Value Orientation of the Middle-aged: Providing a Grounded Theory Mohsen Shaterian[1] ,Behrooz Behrooziyan[2] ,Ahmad Falahi[3] Received: 25/11/2016 Accepted: 25/03/2017 Abstract The goal of this research study has been to investigate the value orientation of middle-aged individuals using the social interpretivism approach. The Methodology of the study is qualitative and the social construction method (social interpretivism) is used as a method of operation for research. Qualitative data were collected in this study using the technique of in-depth interviews. To analyze the information and provide the ultimate theory of strategy we used grounded theory. Based on purposive sampling and the theoretical saturation criterion, 12 middle-aged individuals from South Roodbar participated in this study and their attitudes toward value orientation was studied and analyzed. The results obtained with "grounded theory" include six major categories as follows: realism, dissatisfaction with the way of life, mass media, altruism, convergence of religious values, and nepotism. The core notion of this study is the retrospective reflexivity which includes the other major categories. The ground theory gained in the form of a paradigm model contains three Dimensions of conditions, interactions and outcomes.

Abstract The aim of this research is to investigate the situation of the fear of crime and its related social factors among the elderly in the city of Shiraz. This study is done within the framework of a quantitative methodology employing a survey method. The demographic population of the study are the elderly citizens of shiraz, 330 of them were selected through multilevel random sampling. The research tool was a questionnaire, indexes of which were validated through content and factor validity and its reliability was examined by the Cronbach alpha coefficient and test re-test reliability. In the theoretical part of fear of crime, different perspectives of social integration, social capital, demography theories, interpersonal communication and victimology were examined, and the conclusions of this research were determined using such frameworks. According to the findings of this research, the fear of crime among the elderly citizens of Shiraz was estimated to be average in the measurement scale of the research. The analysis of the content variables showed that respondents were significantly different in terms of the fear of crime based on different variables of age, gender, marriage, and level of education. The fear of crime increased with an increase in age. A higher level of education reduced the fear of crime and so on. The inferential findings of this research study showed that social capital, as one of the independent variables of the research, affected fear of crime either directly or indirectly. However, its indirect effect was more (on skill) on dependence variable (fear of crime). Skill, as another independent variable of the research, has a direct and significant effect on fear of crime. The analysis of the research conclusions shows that fear of crime as a social phenomenon is prevalent among the elderly across the world both theoretically and experimentally which is affected by different social, mental, and environmental conditions and in order to reduce it among the elderly population, we need to get help from the inherent and individual capacities available in society including non-governmental organizations, media and more, in addition to understanding different aspects of it. Keywords: Fear of Crime, Elderly Citizens, Skill, Social Capital, Shiraz

Abstract
This study examines the life experiences and perceptions of prostitutes. The research design is an exploratory qualitative one and is based on the interpretive paradigm, in terms of the results it is applied and in terms of the criteria of the time it is cross-sectional. Through a systematic analysis of in-depth interviews with 16 participants (prostitutes, procurers, and customers) the grounded theory was conducted based on Strauss and Corbin's approach. After open and axial coding, 80 subcategories and 20 main categories were extracted. Ultimately, based on selective coding, the central phenomenon was formulated in the form of "prostitution, conflict resolution in the cycle of poverty, insecurity and exploitation". The results of the research showed that the central phenomenon was influenced by a set of underlying conditions including "deficiency in household and women-related laws" and "instability in socio-economic conditions" and interventional conditions including "deprivations from traditional culture", "inappropriate marriage",
"addiction and acceleration of the propensity for prostitution", "domestic violence", "weak social skills", "shaky family" and "educational background", and causal conditions included "social insecurity", "the prosperity of the market for exploitation" and "the increasing poverty of the household." Prostitutes also use strategies such as "active compliance with existing status" and "cross-sectional/non-enforced resistance" that results in "incapacitated risk aversion", "continuous exposure to violence" and "removing family from everyday life."
Key words: Prostitution, Prostitute Market, Grounded Theory, Customer, Procurer

In recent years, several laws have been drafted and approved for the presence of social workers in juvenile proceedings, but they are still not implemented. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the challenges and opportunities of intervention of social workers in the process of juvenile proceedings from the point of view of judges in order to provide plans to improve the position of social workers. Due to the fact that in Iran's judicial system, judges are responsible for the implementation of the law and the non-implementation of the law is to a large extent directed at them, therefore, in this article, the challenges and opportunities of social workers' intervention in juvenile proceedings were questioned. The qualitative research method is based on interviews with thematic analysis technique. Purposive sampling method was available with strong. The studied people include 17 judges. The findings show that the judges agreed on the necessity of the presence of social workers in the judicial system, especially juvenile proceedings. The main axis of the answers are concepts such as professional weakness, system inefficiency as challenges, restorative interventions and facilitating exit from proceedings as an opportunity for the presence and intervention of social workers.

Suicide is among the human behaviors influenced by different biological motives.In current conditions, some issues such as the increasing rate of suicide, the decreasing age of attempting suicide, and the increasing rate of using violent ways to suicide have made it necessary to address this subject as a social problem. Using a qualitative approach and based on the grounded theory of the social and cultural reasons behind suicide attempt, the current study aims to investigate the interaction between the person who suicides and his/her family, group and society as well as its relationship with suicide attempt. Through this, the study seeks to find a more vivid image of the relationship between the factors affecting suicide attempt. A purpose-based sampling was applied in this study; the data was collecting by interviewing the subjects who attempted suicide (15 females) and were treated in the hospitals of Tehran, Iran. The findings indicate that the factors explaining the suicide attempt from the viewpoint of suiciders included Verbal violence, physical violence, social violence, forced displacement, the prevention of employment and divorce, the pressure of tradition, the feeling of tirednees and loneliness, disputes with the schools parents and relatives, lack of sympathy for the spouse, child labor, illness and physical problems, lack of the sponsor and the non- acceptance of the family were identified as the causative conditions of suicide. The results showed that the most obvious reason for the suicide attempt was the way these individuals or their families dealt with the issue of violence.

Abstract Iran has experienced many changes in the recent decades and an increasing divorce rate is among these changes. The end of married life is the beginning of a process that is fraught with many problems. This study examines socio-economic security and social capital among divorced women and their relationship. For this purpose, a survey method was used and 200 divorced women were randomly selected. Findings show that women's economic insecurity is only slightly more than their social insecurity. This indicates the importance of social protection for divorced women, because despite the importance of economy and livelihood, women’s social concerns are approximately the same level. Average levels of trust in relatives are very low and are close to thin trust. It can be said that the area of thick trust has been narrowed for divorced women. Correlation coefficient and multiple regression show that there is relationship between socio-economic security and social capital. Among the social capital indicators, social trust in economic security model and social relationships in the model of social security are significant factors. Thirty percent of economic security and 45% of social security changes can be explained by the running model. Keywords: Women, Divorce, Social Security, Economic Security, Social Capital

Abstract: Based on the theoretical and empirical relationship between the primary structures of social capital and job satisfaction, this article attempts to study it among the staff working at the police Head Quarters in Mazandaran province. In this regard, an applied survey method was used to collect data. The simple random sampling method was used to study 148 subjects working at the police HQ in Mazandaran province. The tools used were the questionnaire on social capital by Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998) comprising 22 questions in three domains (structural, relational and cognitive domains), and the job satisfaction questionnaire by Brayfield and Rothe's (1951) encompassing 19 questions, and four elements (satisfaction from the job, colleagues, promotion in the organization, and salary and raises). The validity for the tools was α= 0.748 for social capital and α=0.839 for job satisfaction based on Cronbach's alpha. To analyse the data, a regression analysis, anindependent t-test, and One-Way ANOVA and structural equation modeling were employed. The results showed that social capital had a positive and significant impact on job satisfaction among the staff working at the police HQ in Mazandaran province. The regression analysis and structural equations concurrently represented a significant and positive influence of social capital domains (structural, relational and cognitive domains) on job satisfaction. There was no significant difference between social capital and job satisfaction regarding work experience. Keywords: Social capital, structural domain, relational domain, cognitive domain, job satisfaction

The present study seeks to understand the lived experience of girls in the city of Tehran from the generational gap that have taken place in the society. In the last few decades, according to the changes in the cultural structure of the society, a favorable environment has been created for changes in the values and attitudes of social groups, especially the new generations of the Iranian society. The conceptual framework in the current research is based on the views of thinkers in the field of generational difference and value changes of generations. The qualitative research method is an interpretive phenomenological type, based on which 20 girls from the 70s were interviewed through the purposeful sampling method, and the data were analyzed and interpreted using the thematic analysis method. The results show that the girls of the 70s of Tehran, as a new generation, have special lived experiences such as: being cosmopolitan, religious modernism, becoming secular, modern lifestyle, modernity and modern identity, living in a plural and distinct world, and homeless mind. . In general, the generation of the seventies adjusts its life based on the values and beliefs of the modern world and adjusts and organizes its lived experiences accordingly.
