Introduction: Today, virtual space as a new phenomenon has a wide impact on the dimensions of people's lives in the family and has caused many changes among them. Since the family is the fundamental foundation of society and the main focus of maintaining social norms and values, therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of the amount and type of virtual space use on the family's identity and values.Method: To this end, 46 related types of research between 2011 and 2021 (19 research on the type of use, 27 types of research on the amount of use) that met the necessary criteria to enter the meta-analysis were selected, and they were analyzed using the comparative (correlation) method of meta-analysis software.Findings: The research findings showed that the type of use of virtual space, in general, does not have a significant effect on the values and identity of the family, while the amount of use of virtual space according to the interpretive table of Cohen's size can moderately (0/313) affect the identity and Family values are practical and reduce it. (P <0/05).Conclusion: Based on this, it can be said that more than the type of use of virtual space affects the values and identity of the family, the amount of its use leads to the decline of the identity and values of the family to a moderate extent.

Introduction: As the youth period extends, numerous students are involved with various issues in the identity process which affects diverse aspects of their life satisfaction. This research was conducted to analyze the latent profile of undergraduate students' identity dimensions and their relationship with their life satisfaction.
Method: The method of this study was a descriptive-correlation type of latent profiles analysis using MPLUS software. MPLUS is a latent variable modeling program that reduces continuous or categorical variables to limited subgroups. Likewise, the one-way ANOVA method was used to compare students' life satisfaction among latent clusters. The statistical population of the research was all undergraduate students of Tabriz University and 375 of these students were selected as a sample using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Data were collected using Scales of Saffarinia and Roshan's Social Identity (2010), Bell's Religious Identity (2009), Aquino and Reed's Moral Identity (2002), and Satisfaction with Life of Diener et al. (1985).
Results: The results of the latent profiles analysis led to the identification of six identity profiles, and the results of the variance analysis revealed that the life satisfaction of students according to the identity dimensions is different (P<0.01), in such a way that the achieved identity cluster had the highest and the diffusion identity cluster, had the lowest level of life satisfaction.
Conclusion: Using the person-centered approach, the results of the research offer a new perspective for understanding the identity dimensions of students, which can predict life satisfaction and provide interventions according to each identity dimension.

Introduction: There is numerous evidence showing the fundamental behavioral changes in Iranian adolescents. These changes can probably be attributed to their identity issues. The aim of this study was to identify and validate the psychosocial model of Iranian adolescents' identity and determine its probable relationship with their behavioral changes.Method: The approach of this study was mixed. The narrative research was used in the qualitative phase and the correlation method was used in the quantitative phase. In the qualitative phase, the population consisted of male adolescents aged 15-20 years old, as well as psychologists and sociologists in Tehran in 2020. Nineteen adolescents were selected by volunteer sampling and six specialists by purposive sampling. In the quantitative phase, the population consisted of adolescents aged 15-20 years old in Tehran in 2020, from which 218 people were selected by volunteer sampling. In the qualitative phase, data were collected through the life story interview (McAdams, 1995) and in the quantitative phase by a researcher-made questionnaire. In the qualitative phase, data were analyzed through the content analysis method and in the quantitative phase through the confirmatory factor analysis.Findings: The results of content analysis as well as factor analysis indicated the master-narrative model of adolescents includes components such as family belonging, adherence to religious values and obedience to parents, and the counter-narrative model includes the voluntary lifestyle, sense of uniqueness, independence-seeking and competitiveness.Conclusion: behavioral changes of Iranian male adolescents can be attributed to two main factors: 1- Conflict between some components of their counter-narrative and master-narrative 2- The relatively extreme status of some components of their narratives.

Introduction: This study investigates the relationship between implicit and explicit ambivalent sexism with gender roles, and predicting the gender roles based on sexist attitudes of adolescents.Method: In terms of goal and research methodology, this study was an applied and descriptive-correlational design, respectively. The statistical population of the study consisted of all adolescents aged 12 to 18 years old in Tabriz who were studying in one of the schools of this city. The sample was chosen throughout the available sampling and consisted of 122 adolescents. In order to measure the research variables, the Thomas & Robinson (1981) Gender Roles Questionnaire, the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory Scale (Glick and Fiske, 1996), and the Implicit Association Test of Ambivalent Sexism (Greenwald, McGhee, et al., 1998; de Oliveira Laux, Ksenofontov, et al, 2015) were used. SPSS-26 was used to analyze the data.Findings: Findings showed a positive correlation between implicit and explicit benevolent sexism with masculine gender roles (p < .01), and a negative correlation between explicit and implicit hostile sexism with feminine gender roles (p < .01). Moreover, regression analyses showed that explicit and implicit hostile sexism could predict feminine gender roles (p < .01), while implicit and explicit benevolent sexism could significantly predict masculine gender roles (p < .01). Findings are discussed in light of Iranian culture. In addition, the findings showed that the research variables predict 19.5% of the variance of feminine gender roles, and 17% of the variance of masculine gender roles.Conclusion: Ambivalent sexist attitudes can be used to predicting gender roles in adolescents.
