Abstract :
The present study was conducted with the aim of predicting dependence on the Internet, virtual networks and social isolation based on family functioning and religiosity among young girls in Isfahan city. The correlational research method was used and the statistical population of the research was all young girls between 18 and 30 years of age in the first district of Isfahan city, among them 140 people were selected based on the sampling table of Karjesi and Morgan, using a multi-stage random sampling method. became The measurement tools were FAD family functioning questionnaires, Chalapi and Kafi social isolation questionnaire (2013), religiosity status (RSI) and a researcher-made questionnaire including 30 questions, based on the Likert scale, which measures the indicators of dependence on the Internet and virtual networks. Content validity was used to measure the validity of the measurement tool and its validity was reported as 0.89 based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire questionnaire. The face validity of the questionnaire was also confirmed by several social science experts. In this research, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression were used to analyze the data. The results of the research showed that family functioning had the ability to predict dependence on the Internet (P<0.01) and virtual networks (P<0.05). Also, dependence on the Internet, virtual networks and social isolation can be predicted based on the components of religiosity (negative perception of God and positive perception of God) in young girls (P<0.05).
