This study seeks to identify the effective drives that can impact the future of online social networks in the face of Iranian mass media on the horizon of 1404. The research method is a combination of quantitative and qualitative, which has been done using Futuristic Research Method. This is a des[1]criptive and exploratory research with the approach of identifying uncertainties. In this regard, a total of 20 experts and specialists in the field of media, communications and online social networks, who were selected by the Snowballing method, took part in the in-depth interviews. In this study, the Delphi Method was used to identify the motives, using SPSS software, and the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) method was used to discover the final key factors affecting the future of social networks. The data collection tool in the structural interpretive modeling section includes a researcher-made questionnaire containing a table of interaction matrix, and the data were analyzed by MicMac software. The research's findings showed that 27 drivers have an impact on the future of social networks, which can be classified into four general sociocultural, political/legal, economic and technological factors. According to the research's findings, technology-based affairs, digital natives, media ownership and the power of large-scale traditional media are the four final key factors influencing the future of social networks in the face of Iranian mass media on the horizon of 1404.

The present research is aimed at designing a citizen journalism pattern for developing civil participation in Iran on the basis of grounded theory paradigm. The data used in this research has been gathered and selected by interviewing 25 experts in the field of social communications science through a semi-standard interview using the theoretical sampling method. Furthermore, in order to analyze extracted the data, theoretical coding process has been used for enumerating concepts (basic categories), Subcategories and main categories in accordance with Strauss and Corbin's model (1998). The research findings showed that designing a citizen journalism pattern for developing civil participation in Iran has been theoretically saturated from 14 main categories, 41 subcategories and 509 concepts based on the factors of Strauss and Corbin’s approach to grounded theory’s paradigm (1998). The analytical pattern of citizen journalism has been constructed for the purpose of developing civil participation in Iran. Furthermore, in order to verify the research categories as well as the constructed pattern, two methods have been used: (A) assessment based on the communicative method, and (B) formation of a focal group. Moreover, in terms of reliability assessment, repeatability was tested using correlation coefficient between two coders and generalizability was tested using theoretical regular comprehensive sampling.

A pattern for the role of media literacy in development of social capital in Yazd is the ultimate goal of research, which, due to its novelty, is part of the basic research and is a qualitative research with Grand Theory method. Data were obtained using in-depth semi-structured interviews with 19 experts in communication science, media and sociology, and individuals were selected by theoretical sampling method to achieve theoretical saturation. Interviews became the text and process of data analysis. For open coding, line-by-line analysis was used and along with the development of concepts and categories, central and selective coding was performed. To validate the findings, four strategies from eight Cresol strategies And Miller (review of colleagues, description of researcher's stereotypes and prejudices, participant approval, rich description) were used. The findings show that if contextual conditions (message characteristics, audience conditions, media communities , Access, media, knowledge of norms) to be created and controlled by the intervenor (related to the audience, media, environment) and appropriate strategy (localization of literacy, smart use, conscious criticism, etc.). The desired end result (promotion of social capital) can be achieved.

Abstract
Today, the use of mobile social networks has become an important and sensitive issue. It is rooted in several social factors. In the present era, the level of users’ skills has also become a vital issue for human societies. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between users’ skills and positive and negative uses of mobile social networks. To conduct this survey, a multi-stage cluster sampling method was used and 385 young people in Yazd, Iran were selected. The data gathering tool was a questionnaire that was validated with content and structural validity as well as Cronbach's alpha coefficient for reliability. The findings showed that there were significant relationships between the users’ skills and negative and positive uses of mobile social networks. The users’ skills explained 0.33% and 0.14% of the variance of positive and negative uses of mobile social networks, respectively. The results of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) also showed that the model had a suitable goodness of fit.
