Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between negative emotions, fear of missing out, and being a victim of cyberbullying.Method: This research was a descriptive-correlational study using structural equation modeling. The target population of the study was all adolescents aged 15 to 18 years old living in Tehran. The sample size of 400 cases was recruited from all parts of Tehran city. A questionnaire was sent to each participant with an informed consent document. The questionnaire included demographic information, The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - 21 Items (DASS-21), the Fear of Missing Out Scale & Cyber-bullying Questionnaire. Data collection during the pandemic COVID-19 was fulfilled using online questionnaires. Analysis performed using Liesel Software for structural equation modeling. Findings: The results of the research showed that Instagram is the first social network used by the adolescents of the population studied. The next social networks and online messengers used are WhatsApp, Telegram, Domestic Applications (Bale, Eitaa, Soroush, Shad), Skype, and Facebook in order. The direct effect of negative emotions on the fear of missing out and being the victim of bullying is significant.

On the other hand, the findings showed that negative emotions do not lead to cyberbullying victimization either directly or independently.

Introduction: The dangers of using social networks have led to various research in this field in recent decades. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of jealousy and the moderating role of spouse support perception in the relationship between upward social comparison and depression in virtual social networks.Method: The research method was correlation-structural equation model. The study population consisted of married people in Kerman and a sample of 320 men and women in this city who were selected using the convenience sampling method and through a link sent to them answered to a researcher-made questionnaire of upward social comparison in social networks, Radloff (1991) Depression questionnaire, Tandoc, Ferrucci, and Duffy (2015) Jealousy in social media Questionnaire, and the Revised Support in Intimate Relationships Scale of Dehle, Larsen and Landers (2001). Then the data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equations.Findings: The findings of the study showed that jealousy can play a mediating role in the relationship between upward social comparison in virtual social networks and depression. Also, the perception of spouse support was able to moderate the relationship between jealousy in virtual social networks and depression.Conclusion: According to the findings, it can be said that upward comparison with others, in addition to the effect on jealousy in virtual social networks, can also increase depression in married people. Meanwhile, the perception of spouse support can be effective in reducing the consequences of jealousy in these networks.

Introduction: Self-harm is one of the pervasive social and individual factors that has attracted the attention of mental health professionals. Studies have shown that the experience of violence is one of the important precursors in the formation of self-harming behaviors. Emotional failure and depression have also been shown to be effective in creating and sustaining self-harm. Past research has identified other factors associated with self-harm, such as social skills, emotion control, and body dissatisfaction. The aim of this study was to design and test a model of the effects of self-harming behaviors.method: The research method was descriptive-correlational and the proposed model was evaluated by modeling structural equations using SPSS26 and AMOS24 software. Intermediary relationship analysis was used using the bootstrap method in MACRO Preacher and Hayes (2008). The statistical population of the study was all women aged 15-25 years in Karaj in 1399 that 500 people were selected by purposive sampling. To measure the research variables, from the Self-Injury Scale (Sigalas and Biswas, 1998), Beck Depression (Beck, Mendelssohn, Mook & Arbaf, 1996), Love Trauma (Dehghani et al., 2010), Social Skills (Inderbitzen And Foster ،1992), emotion control (Roger & Nashvar, 1987), violence against women (Hajyahy, 2001) and body image (Fisher, 1970) were used. The results showed that the proposed model fits well (RMSEA <0.1) and CMIN / DF >0.5).Results: The results showed that depression, emotional failure and experience of violence are good predictors of self-harming behaviors. Findings in the second part showed that difficulty in controlling emotion, social skills and body dissatisfaction play a mediating role in the model.Conclusion: These results indicate the impact of cultural factors, context and social skills are of particular importance and it is necessary to provide comprehensive care including assessment of individual-family and social factors. In the treatment of women with self-harming behaviors Pay special attention to emotional, social, and emotional differences and characteristics.
