For gathering data, of Young internet addiction test (1998), loneliness questionnaire Woodworth (1986) emotional and social loneliness Russell questionnaire (1996) were utilized. Result: Data were analyzed by cluster analysis and MANOVA. The results of cluster analysis showed three clusters with mind (M= 21.6), moderate (M= 36.8) and severe (M= 47.8) degrees of internet addition. Also significant differences among 3 profiles were found in emotional loneliness [F (130/5, P≤ 0/001] and social isolation [F (123.45, P≤ 0/001]. Conclusion: Given the rising percentage of students suffer from Internet addiction and emotional-social isolation, it is therefore necessary to consider the phenomenon of Internet addiction as a psychological problem by cultural and educational planners and the family system.

Study of Love from the perspective psychology[D1] , sociology, philosophy, linguistics: The peresentation[D2] of a combined theoryThe [D3] concept of love can be defined from a range of perspectives. Different fields of philosophy, psychology, sociology[D4] and linguistics have focused on exploring this concept and this has led to a plethora of definitions. Like feelings, love can associate one to others who are intended in spite of the physical characteristics; therefore, it is governed by sociocultural dimensions. The concept of love and the experience of falling in love is under the influence of dominating discourse[D5] of the[D6] society and its social, cultural, political and economic circumstances in every particular period of time. Although love initially seems to be the most individual in feelings and compassion, it is fully affected by social circumstances. Taking into account love as agency[D7] is of great importance. Considering the interaction between someone and the structure, the capacity of people to fall in love is analogous to a social trait. This study aims to explain love sociologically. Having reviewed the relevant texts and utilizing library research method as a background for empirical and survey evaluation of the issue, these researchers have embarked on analyzing the issue philosophically, psychologically, sociologically and linguistically. In social[D8] analysis of love, the outlooks of people like Turner, Goode, Giddenz, b[D9] auman and[D10] Iluves have been used. In linguistic and semiotics domains, the viewpoints of Roland Barths and Robert Sternberg have been applied in order to elaborate the conceptual reasons of love. The viewpoints of philosophers and psychologists are discussed at the end of this article. [D1]psychology [D1] perspective [D2]presentation [D3]?
