Abstract
Introduction:
Today, modern information and communication technologies occupy most of students' time, and due to its wide spread and unknown nature, it has caused many social damages to students' behavior. Students are one of the groups that are affected by the harms of cyber space, and the intensity of this influence is probably more than other people. Most parents are unaware of this issue and think that their children go to the Internet to find out about the latest games and books. In addition to cyberspace addiction, academic failure, fatigue and depression, feelings of loneliness, lack of security, identity crises, sexual deviations, reduction of social interactions, tendency to roam the internet and as a result the appearance of cyber violations are among the most important risks that students face. The purpose of the present research was to examine the family harms of cyberspace in female students of the first secondary school in Arak city.
The study was conducted as a survey and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. The statistical population of this research was 11,602 female students of the first secondary school in Arak city. Using Cochran's formula, the sample size was calculated equal to 371 people, after discarding incomplete questionnaires, 365 questionnaires were analyzed. The sampling method is cluster and stratified random. In this way, first the statistical population of first secondary students was divided into three categories of seventh, eighth and ninth grade students. To randomly access the students, first the districts and then the four first secondary girls' schools of Arak city were selected by cluster sampling, and then from within these schools, students of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades were selected using cluster sampling. Information was collected.
Research findings:
The results show that the most family harms of cyberspace are at a low level with 52.3%. After that, the average amount of this damage is 29.3%. The average of the dimension of family damage is 2.25 out of 5, which indicates that the amount of family damage is low. The average variables of social support, religiosity and family control are 3.44, 3.66 and 3.08 respectively and are in the average range.
The variable of family harms of cyberspace has an inverse and significant relationship with the variables of social support, religiosity, and family control and supervision. This means that with the increase of variables of social support, control and supervision of family and religiosity, the variable of family harms of cyberspace decreases. The results of the multivariable regression model of family harms of cyberspace show that the multiple correlation (R) is equal to 42%, which indicates that the variables of social support, religiosity and family control and supervision are simultaneously 42% have a relationship with family harms of cyberspace. The coefficient of determination (R2) is calculated as 18%. This means that about 18% of the changes in family harms of cyberspace are explained by independent variables. The standard effect coefficients in this study show that the strongest predictors of family harms of cyberspace variables are religiosity (beta=-0.21), social support (beta=-0.20) and family control and supervision (beta= are -0.19).
 Conclusion:
One of the hypotheses of the research indicates that there is a relationship between social support and family harms of cyberspace in female first secondary school students, which was confirmed by the findings of the research. The theoretical approach of social support in connection with social solidarity has a history as old as classical sociology. By proposing the concept of social solidarity, Durkheim indirectly pays attention to social support as a product of social relations. Although, for the first time, he discussed the influence of the network of social relations and the support resulting from this network in pathology. But social support has received less attention in social pathology analysis. Social support is defined as the amount of love, companionship and attention of family members, friends and other people. Some consider social support to be a social reality and some consider it to be a result of individual perception.
Another hypothesis of the research shows that there is a relationship between parental control and family harms of cyberspace in first secondary school girls, and the results of this research confirm the mentioned hypotheses. Hirschi believes that the four main elements that connect the individual and society include: dependence on society, commitment, engagement (participation in social activities), belief and believing in social rules. Therefore, if moral standards are internalized in the individual and people have close ties with society, they intentionally limit their tendency to commit delinquent behaviors. Attachment is the first element of Hirschi's social bond and is defined as the emotional bond of people with important others such as family, friends, religion and close relatives. So, the higher the person's connection with the family, the less deviant behaviors such as injuries related to cyber space.
One of the hypotheses of the research indicates that there is a relationship between religiosity and family harms of cyberspace in first secondary female students, and the results of this research confirm the mentioned hypotheses. Hirschi claims that the existence of connection with religion and... has a significant relationship with life satisfaction, acquiring knowledge and academic success, self-esteem and peace of mind. Also, the lack of connection with religion, etc., has a significant relationship with people's deviance and the risk of mental illnesses in the long term. Hirschi states that people who have strong links with society are less inclined to deviate from society's norms; Because they have internalized and accepted the norms of the society.
