The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a program for educating adolescents in cyberspace. The present study is a qualitative theory grounded and the research data were obtained using semi-structured and in-depth interviews with parents of Tehran’s Area 13 who met the entry criteria. The study measure was in-depth interview and sampling was continued until complete saturation. Data were coded at three levels. Regarding to the theoretical code of cyberspace psychopathology, the central codes of mental, social, physical, functional and educational pathologies along with 22 open codes were extracted and in relation to the theoretical code of coping strategies for dealing with cyberspace injuries, Parental awareness, legislation and effective interaction with adolescents were extracted with 32 open codes. Open, conceptual, and theoretical codes based on the Strauss-Korbin model were validated by counselings and psychologists with validation by constructive and internal method of evaluations. Then, a conceptual model of two-way interaction of psychopathologies and coping strategies to deal with cyberspace were designed. Finally, based on the conceptual model, a program for educating adolescents in cyberspace was developed. According to the obtained model, the pathologies and strategies of dealing with cyberspace interact with each other and have a two-way relationships. Therefore, the six-stage program of parenting education in cyberspace is able to suggest effective strategies in the field of parenting with regard to the harms of cyberspace for parents.

The purpose of this study was to develop a conceptual model of adolescents with high adaptability to career path. Qualitative research method of phenomenology (colaizzi) and data collection tool was in-depth interview. The study population was 16-18 years old adolescents and employed people with high adaptability to their career path. Sampling was purposeful in such a way that until new information was no longer available, the sampling would end. The sample consisted of 6 adolescents and 6 highly adaptable individuals who participated in a semi-structured interview. The data were analyzed by colaizzi method and the main themes of leisure were extracted. It should be noted that the three-way method (interviews with parents, experts and text analysis) was used to validate the data. Therefore leisure factors were coded in two main themes, each with different sub-themes. The main themes obtained are: 1- Satisfaction with leisure time which includes positive individual factors, positive family factors and positive social factors 2- Dissatisfaction with leisure time including negative individual factors, negative family factors and negative Social factors. In general, leisure time is affected by many positive and negative individual, family and social factors. Recognition of these factors can be useful for policy-making of the country's educational officials.

Purpose: This research aimed to analyze adolescents` motivational factors for using virtual social media. Method: This research was conducted using the qualitative approach of phenomenology type. For this purpose, 17 female adolescents aged 14 to 16 who were dysfunctional in the use of social media were selected using a purposeful sampling method based on criteria. The research was conducted through semi-structured interviews. Finally, the data were coded and categorized and the results were expressed using the method of narrative reporting. Findings: The analysis of experiences led to the identification of 7 main themes, including the symbiotic relationship with peers, omnipresence, emotion regulation, idealization versus normalization, social comparison, function, and response to existential-humanistic issues. each of them included 5, 7, 8, 4, 5, 15, and 3 sub-themes respectively. Conclusion: The results show that adolescents' problematic use of social networks is not motivated by newness or fashion, but purposefully and motivated by the fulfillment of basic needs (autonomy, competence, and communication). Therefore, in addition to recognizing the needs and motivations of adolescents, the authorities must use the technological opportunities of social networks to respond to their neglected needs in the real world. Also, counselors can take preventive measures or design targeted technological content for them by considering the motivations of adolescents.

The Subject of this study is narcissism, self-esteem, and aggression in adolescents. The aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between narcissism, self-esteem and dimensions of aggression and compare sex differences in these variables in adolescents. 258 adolescents (124 boys and 134 girls) 14-18 years old, were selected by using multistage cluster random sampling method and were assessed by Narcissistic personality inventory (NPI-16) self- esteem and Aggression questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple regression analysis and T test. The results showed positive significant relations between narcissism, self-esteem and aggression and negative relations between self-esteem and aggression. Multiple regression analysis showed that low self-esteem is most responsible in predicting aggression in adolescents. The findings showed no sex differences in features of narcissism and self esteem among adolescents and sex differences in the dimensions of aggression was observed only in physical aggression. The results of this study can be beneficial for a better understanding of theoretical and clinical relationship between narcissism, self-esteem, and aggression in adolescents.
