Abstract

Basing the increasing OF addictive use of social networks, determining factors related to it is essential. This study aimed to investigate the structural model of relations of addictive use of social networks basing on social rejection, familial emotional atmosphere with mediating role of Time perspective and shyness in students. The present research method is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this study consisted of male secondary high-school students studying in public schools in Ardabil city in the academic year of 2019-2020. A sample of 248 people was randomly selected by multistage sampling method and answered to the questionnaires of addiction to social networks, social rejection, family emotional atmosphere, Time perspective and shyness. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling using SPSS25 and Lisrel8.8 software. The results showed that addiction to social networks was positively associated with social exclusion and its components (except accusations) and shyness, and negatively related to the emotional atmosphere of the family and its components (except Caress). It has a positive relationship with the negative past view, a positive past view and a hedonistic view, and a negative relationship with the current and somewhat current view and a future view. Also, shyness has a positive relationship with social exclusion and its components and a negative relationship with the emotional atmosphere of the family and its components (except Caress). Negative past view, positive past view, and hedonistic view have a positive relationship with the overall score of social exclusion and its components, and future view has a negative relationship with the insult component. Negative past perspectives are negatively related to the overall emotional score of the family and the components (love, approval, giving, trust and sense of security). A positive past view is negatively related to the overall emotional state score of the family and its components (love, trust, and sense of security). The hedonistic view is negatively related to the overall emotional score of the family and its components. Ironically, the view is somewhat related to the overall score of the family's emotional atmosphere (encouragement and trust). The future perspective is positively related to the overall emotional score of the family (love, shared experiences, trust and sense of security) (p<0.001). The fitness indicators of the model also confirmed the effect of social rejection and family emotional atmosphere on addictive use of social networks through Time perspective and shyness mediation.The results showed that social rejection and family emotional atmosphere are predictors of addictive use of social network in students; furthermore, Time perspective and shyness can play mediating role in these relationships.
