New interpretations of the concept of health and its approaches have been developed with appearance and rise of post modernism in medical science. Complementary and alternative medicine is one good sample of the therapy methods which match the postmodern interpretations. Due to the lack of existence of different types of complementary medicine specifically the music therapy in the universities and shortage of music therapy clinics in the Iranian society, we are facing appearance of websites and blogs on the subject of music therapy in the cyberspace. Considering these limitations, the cyberspace has a considerable role in creating an opportunity for the presence of a discourse which is otherwise marginalised.The possibility of the existence in the cyberspace while there is limited chance of presence in the physical world is a sign of post modernism.The limitations of the real world will of course have an effect on the quality of development of music therapy in the Iranian cyberspace. Therefore the following questions are asked that how the music therapy is introduced in the cyberspace, which characteristics of the complementary medicine are more focused on in the introduction of music therapy in the cyberspace and how these characteristics interact with the modern medical science?The research method adopted in this study is the analysis of quality content. The target research society is the Iranian websites active in the field of music therapy. The sampling method is theoretical (targeted) sampling which was undertaken until the theoretical saturation was reached. Study and analysis of the 11 websites under assessment showed that these websites focused on 7 fundamental characteristics of music therapy for its introduction to the audience including the scientific, historical, therapy, empowerment, healthcare benefit, application integrity and globalisation. Music therapy while trying to gain credit by getting close to the modern medical science, competes with it by focusing on some of its other characteristics and dimensions. Although modern medical science is facing some rival discourses in the cyberspace and silent discourses like music therapy have been able to use this space to compete with modern medical science and be present in the health space, what we used to know as complementary medicine has also been revolutionised and affected by the modern medical science.

Although studied on political elections are usually done in fields other than Psychology, variables effecting on attitudes and voting behavior are in fact considered to be psychological and hence to be in studied in social psychology. In presidential election, campaigners as advertisers, try to bring up the best possible arguments in order to convince voters that the nominee in question is the best possible choice. Voters, though, get persuaded by the arguments accorded to their own objectives of political participation. These arguments are affected and categorized by their level (high/low) and the kinds orientations of involvement; Outcome Relevant Involvement (ORI) and Value Relevant Involvement (VRI), which in turn constitute the elemments of the Involvement- Argument Model (IAM); Elicits, Devoted, Welfare-seeking, and Fandom. This research is aimed to experimentally verify the model. 152 participants were interviewed in order to find out their argument orientations. Then their level of involvement and it’s kinds were measured using two different scales. A Multinomial Logistic Regression Analysis of dates showed Arguments brought out by would be voters were related to their level and the kind of Involvement with the presidential election outcome. The Model can be used for tailoring political massages released for public. Future studies are strongly suggested

Animation films are very popular all over the world, including in Iranian society, and have a large audience. Children learn many life and communication skills from different channels. Given the importance of life skills gained from the environment in which animations play a more effective role, the question is how to display communication skills in animation, and how do the main characters react to events? To answer this question, let's move on to animation and use John Fisk's semiotics method and content coding on three levels; Appearance, technical and social have been studied. Among the four samples examined, the results of a sample of Iranian animation (Rostam and Sohrab) and a sample of non-Iranian animation (Coco) are given. The unit of analysis is animation sequences. The results indicate that in the Iranian and non-Iranian samples studied, apart from technical and technical issues, they are not different in terms of content and communication skills are well displayed in them. A set of socio-cultural implications implies relationships that are full of intimacy, support, and closeness to family members. The main character of the story voluntarily goes his own way to meet his desires and needs. In the non-Iranian example, the first character of the story, by deconstructing the story, proceeds to the forbidden subject of the story, but in the end, preserving the institution of the family is accompanied by preserving the institution of the family. In these representations, the child is not represented in its natural age position and is shown to be older than their age. Pride and emphasis on customs, national symbols, preserving the institution of the family, giving a role and paying attention to the child are among the good and suitable contents of animation.

Social networks have created a new platform for Iranian social interaction and participation in various issues and events. This study was conducted to quantify the content of users' engagement on the Instagram page of three famous figures active in participation in earthquake in Kermanshah. Among the various pages of the celebrities Instagram, Ali Daei's personal page as an athlete, Narges Kalbasi as a social cultural activist, and Sadegh Zibaklam as an academic politician were studied from 22 November 2017 to26 March 2018, and The interaction rate of each page user was calculated and compared using the Instagram Owner Company formula. The results of this study showed that users on Instagram pages of all three celebrities had the highest expected interaction rate in material and spiritual participation to assist earthquakes. And the popularity of celebrities, more than their constant physical presence in earthquake-stricken areas, has had a greater impact on cyber users' interaction. Based on the theory of interaction with the Mirowitz approach, it can be said that the followers of all three celebrity pages have created a new network to assist earthquake victims in a non-governmental structure by interacting with them and creating a special community.

This paper aims to explore the perspectives of adolescents towards the intra-psychic influences of exposure to sexually explicit materials on adolescents. Fifty four in depth interviews were conducted with male and female students aged 15-18 years in the city of Tehran (25 females and 29 males) in May 2016 using purposive sampling method. This study showed that such exposure has important intra-psychic influences on adolescents such as cognitive, psychological and emotional. These influences comprise of: 1. Educational failure, 2. severe psychological vulnerability especially among females (depression and suicide), 3. Sexual excitement and stimulation, 4. Early puberty, and , 5. Increased psychological stress. The only positive influence of such exposure reported by respondents was enhancement of sexual knowledge. Policymakers of adolescent health need to consider social changes in the era of communication technology including access of children and young adolescents to internet and its potential psychological harms to develop appropriate interventions.

پژوهش حاضر به بازنمایی کلیشه های منتسب به اقوام در سریال های تلویزیونی می پردازد. سؤال اصلی عبارتست از این که شخصیتهای قومی به لحاظ به ابعاد شخصیتی و اجتماعی چگونه به تصویر کشیده میشوند. روش تحلیل محتوای کیفی برای پاسخ به این سوال مورد استفاده قرار گرفت. مروری بر توصیف نمودهای متنی حاکی از آن است که بر خلاف ادعای برخی پیشینه های تجربی مبنی بر این که به نظر گروههای قومی بازنمایی کلیشهای اقوام معمولاً بر تصورات قالبی موجود در فرهنگ عامیانه استوار است وهرکدام از اقوام به گونهای خاص بازنمایی میشوند؛ در یافته های تحقیق حاضر، تفاوت چندانی در شخصیت پردازی این افراد به چشم نمی خورد. فقط در یک مورد این پیش فرض با نتایج منطبق بود؛ مردان قومیت کرد و عرب، در نمونه موردبررسی «متعصب» بازنمایی شدهاند که این ویژگی با تصورات قالبی در فرهنگ عامه همسانی دارد. در سایر موارد، از ابعاد ظاهری گرفته تا اخلاقی وجوه تعمیمی شخصیت پردازی ها بسیار بالاست. ویژگیهایی نظیر ساده دل، فرودست، غیر متجدد از یک سو و کارکرد کمیک در مجموعه های مورد بررسی از اصلی ترین درون مایه متنی هستند. سپس براساس توصیفات چهارتیپ شخصیتی از هویتهای قومی تعریف شدند که عبارتند از:تیپ مهاجر، تیپ مستحیل، تیپ مجاور و تیپ متعادل

یکی از اهداف راهاندازی شبکههای استانی، پرداخت رسانهای به حاشیهها و پیرامون بهمنظور کمک به تحققِ عدالت بوده است. اقتضای تحقق چنین مأموریتی، تمرکززداییِ سازمانی و فهم الزامات محتوایی عدالت رسانهای، بهعنوان مقدمۀ انجامِ مأموریتِ فوق است. عدم فهم و کاربست این سیاستها هم باعث تعمیق فضای نامتوازن در حوزۀ رسانه و معطل ماندن ظرفیتهای شبکههای استانی میشود. پژوهشگران با درک این ضرورت، با هدف تدوین سیاستهای رسانهای برای شبکههای استانی صداوسیما بهمنظور افزایش ادراک عدالت رسانهای مخاطبان محلی، به این پژوهش پرداختهاند. این پژوهش در دو مرحله انجام شده است: در مرحلۀ اول، با مصاحبۀ مردمنگارانه همراه با مشاهدۀ مشارکتی، انتظارات و خواستهای رسانهای مخاطبان شبکۀ کرمان استخراج شد، در مرحلۀ بعد، بر اساس یافتههای مرحلۀ اول، به کمک مصاحبۀ نیمهساختاریافته با نخبگان رسانهای، سیاستهای رسانهای پیشنهادی برای شبکۀ کرمان تدوین گردید. یافتههای پژوهش در ادامۀ فرایند استقرا و تحلیل، در سه محور «استقلال شبکه»، «شناخت و مدیریت فرآیند تولید محتوا» و «مدیریت رویکرد» احصا شدند. همچنین در ضمن این پژوهش، تعریفی از عدالت رسانهای و الزامات تحقق آن در نظام رسانهای اسلامی به طور عام به دست آمد.

This descriptive-analytic study has been done with librarian method based on Van Dijk’s theory of Ideology (2006) and is to due to verify representation of ideology of media powers based on Van Dijk’s theory of Ideology. A comparative study on frequency of usage of each of micro strategies introduced by Van Dijk and present a linguistics description and illustration on that, is the other goal of this study. To do so three American media (ABC, Washington Post, New York Times) and three Iranian media (ISNA,IRNA, FARS News) were selected and 10 news related to Iran nuclear issue were chosen randomly from each media in period of Jun 2015-Jan 2016. Results show that neither American nor Iranian media are neutral, reflecting news about JCPOA. Usage of Van Dijk’s strategies in micro and macro dimensions has more frequency in American media. In both Iranian and American media the strategy of lexicon has more frequency that can be explained by it’s simplicity of decoding in referee’s mind, cognitively.

Research problem: Cyberspace filtering, despite being regarded as a civic improvement activity, has always been challenging and has had serious social consequences. Meanwhile, this action has always been on the agenda of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The question of this research is that the sovereignty of filtering, what issues and problems are suffering, and how these problems are shaped? Methodology: The method of collecting this article is "Semi-structured interview with experts" and its method is "grounded theory". It has been attempted to draw up a paradigmatic model of the issues of the cyberspace filtering method in Iran, using a systematic scheme and three stages of open, axial and selective coding. Findings: From the perspective of this paper, the central and core problem of the filtering method in Iran is "centrality and governance of filtering". This focused centralized filtering suffers from problems such as: users being equally divided, abusive, law abusive, watchful tact, maximum, being able to escape. The major causes of such a disaster are the view of threating to cyberspace, dominance of filtering in immunization and Politicization in cyberspace. It seems that the weakness of the users' cyber education and their lack of persuasion over filtering is an important interventionist condition for this kind of filtering. Also, the open architecture of cyberspace and infecting real cultural space are the main contexts of it. Naturally, such a remedy has serious cultural, political, economic and other consequences, as explained in the paper.

In Iran, a lot of investigation about individualism and collectivism has been done. Each of these investigations reveals the degree of individualism or collectivism of the society under study on a spectrum. But the contribution of all these studies is to examine of individualism or collectivism of Iranians in real groups and networks, while the connection between this type of individualism and collectivism with collectivism and individualism in the virtual networks is ignored. Therefore, the question of this article is whether individualism and collectivism in the real world relate to individualism and collectivism within the virtual networks. The survey method was used for answering this question. The results of this research show that there is a direct relationship between individualism and networked individualism and there is an inverse relationship between collectivism and networked individualism. Therefore, those who are individualists in the real world have a high network individuality within virtual networks. And those who are collectivist in the real world have a low networked individualism in virtual networks. In other words, it seems that the individualism or collectivism of people in the real world affects their individual or collective actions in the online world.

The advent of the Internet has challenged some assumptions in mass media ontology. One of the conceptual lines introduced is the widely used keyword called "convergence". Now the main question of this article is what is meant by convergence on the Internet and is there a kind of relative elite consensus on its meaning? Or, conversely, does it suffer from "conceptual fragmentation"? If the answer to the first question is yes, can a comprehensive definition of the term be provided? Findings of this study show that the conceptual space of this word is "divergent and fragmented What is proposed as a comprehensive definition of convergence is called " Comprehensive Communicative Cyber Convergence "(4Convergence): "The process of convergence and integration in 1-communication operation (between sender and receiver), 2-communication tool (between mass media) 3- Communication message (between visual and audio), 4- Levels of communication (between mass and non-mass communication) and 5- Function of communication (between information, education and entertainment) which is 6- Due to digitalization (integration between Three infrastructures of data systems (information technology, telecommunications and media)) have taken place in the Internet media."

The advent of information and networked society affected by ICTs and virtual space make national identity and lifestyle to be various and multiple. The national identity which is a source of solidarity and differentiating factor is deeply affected by new media and witnessed deep changes. Therefore, this research tries to answer this question that what role Kurdistan local TV plays in its audiences’ creating and strengthening national identity. So that, a survey and semi-structured interview are employed to study Kurdistan local TV and Sanandaj people as case studies. The findings suggest that there are two sets of solutions for strengthening Kurdistan audiences’ national identity: one set relates to the government general approach to the ethnicity and ethnic minority in the country and the other set relates to the measures taken by the local TV. The measures taken by the government include compiling comprehensive ethnic policies, reconsidering current policies and Multiculturalism. The local TV measures include taking audience-oriented policies, realism, taboo-removing approaches on ethical issues and citizenship identity.

The third millennium is the age of media. Twitter, which is a social and global media, has become a favorite of politicians with 280 characters. In 2018, Trump announced the beginning of a new chapter in relations with Iran by announcing his withdrawal from the joint comprehensive plane of action (JCPOA). During this period, a new chapter was formed in the exchange of tweets between the political leaders of Iran and the United States, which could be the basis for determining the strategy of Iranian diplomacy. Therefore, the main question of the research is what strategy did the Iranian diplomacy approach represent via Twitter in the year of the US withdrawal from JCPOA? In this regard, in-depth interviews were conducted with 17 experts in the three main areas of communication, international relations and political science, and based on the content analysis method, concepts and categories were extracted using maxqoda software. A review of the interviews confirms that Iranian diplomacy on Twitter is able to be a guide line for the future of Iranian diplomacy and as a contributing element in political exchanges and to advance the country's diplomacy one step further.
