The main objective of this study is to investigate the concept of “sport commitment” and identify the factors that make it up through the application of exploratory nature of grounded theory. Eleven athletes in shooting, track and field, swimming, football, badminton, and Ping-Pong who were selected for Paralympic and world competition participated in semi-structured interviews for 30-60 minutes. Then, the interviews were transcribed to analyze data.
Open, axial, and selective coding led to the classification of factors and concepts. Analyzing data showed that three factors led to sport commitment including sport enjoyment, get a higher sport ranking, and desire to make up disability. New classification of factors and omission of some effective factors over sport commitment which were found in previous studies make it necessary to pay attention to environmental and Cultural variables as well as native models (patterns).

The present research aims at studying the social capital in virtual social networks (Virtual social capital). Its theoretical bases are related to the theories discussed by classic as well as contemporary sociologists. The research's theoretical framework is Wolman's theory of the social capital network. He has provided three models: missed society; leaved society and preserved society; and considered the network's social capital in three dimensions: structural dimension (the network's size and configuration), interactive dimension (contact frequency, the relation and intimacy severity) and functional dimension (supports); and assumes them as this research's bases. The research has been conducted using a combination of survey and documentary methods. In fact, the literature and theoretical bases have been collected using documentary method; however data collection and their analysis have been performed using survey method. Statistical population consists of all Farsi language virtual social networks in which Iranian users have been members and have continuous interactions. The sample volume was predicted as 400 people based on the amended Cochran's formula. Sampling method was snowball method. Of course, since data were collected in a theoretical space, interviews were conducted in the form of questionnaires sent through e-mail; the answering system was as self-responding. Respondents answered the items and questions in the virtual space. In the statistical analysis various methods have been applied including one-variable (descriptive statistics), two-variable (different statistical tests) and multi-variable (regression and route analysis).

This Article aims at evaluating formal and informal norms of clothing by youths and it was done using Grounded Theory. Data collection was done through deep interview with 22 male and female youths (18-29 years old) in Tehran city. Data were analyzed using theoretical coding method. Findings suggest veiling category is a signifier which considers only signified regarded by political system, rather the signified is a wide ethical issue. Thus, actors utilize concept of being ethical in terms of their social context and situation by reinterpretation. Overall it can be said veil has been accepted and internalized as an “internalized norm.” by interviewed youths.

Today, social wellbeing is regarded as one of the important foundations in individual health which as gauge of human and social development is one of the major elements for arguing in scientific assemblies and forums and in the world policy making. Social wellbeing defines as the assessment of the one's relationship with others, fellows and his/her community around and as such it can be considered as an important measure of life quality. Lacking an instinctive research of this in Iran, and considering the results of some related studies which have shown that Iranian youth are not socially health, the present study has been done in order to evaluate the aspects and causes of youth social health and identify the effective social factors in this regard. This study has been done according to a valid statistical sample consists of 350 Tehrani participants in the range of 15- 29 years old by using survey as the research method and the questionnaire as the technique. In order to evaluate social wellbeing, we have used Keyes concept model which has considered five aspects of social health that are operated in personal level and are based on a health oriented approach in a broad factor analysis. In completing Keyes conceptual model and explaining our intended issue, we have used Ahuvia ideas. As a conclusion there was an inverse significant relation between one's values with his/her community around and his/her social wellbeing.
