The paper commences by introducing the concept of sociological imagination and its significance in the study of sports. Sociological imagination is defined as the cognitive capacity to comprehend the interconnections between personal experiences and wider social structures. Its application enables a comprehensive analysis of sports by taking into account the social, cultural, economic, and political factors that shape various aspects of sporting practices, experiences, and outcomes.Methodology: A thorough literature search was conducted using academic databases, focusing on relevant keywords and selecting studies published in peer-reviewed journals, books, and conference proceedings from 1960 to the present. The selected articles underwent data extraction and analysis, organizing key concepts, theories, and empirical findings thematically. The synthesis of findings was conducted using a narrative review approach, allowing for the integration of diverse perspectives and theoretical frameworks. The integration of findings involved a critical examination of the literature to identify overarching themes, gaps, controversies, and emerging trends. The interpretation and discussion of the synthesized findings provided a comprehensive overview of the role of sociological imagination in understanding various dimensions of sport, including its implications for sports policies, practices, and social change.Results: Findings revealed that sociological imagination can be effectively applied to analyze the processes of socialization and identity formation in sports. It underscores the significant role of sports in shaping individuals' social skills, values, and identities. Furthermore, the influence of sports experiences on individuals' beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors is highlighted, emphasizing the substantial impact of sports on forming identities and values. Moreover, the paper emphasizes the importance of considering social factors when analyzing sports. It investigates the existence of social inequalities within the sporting realm, particularly focusing on disparities in opportunities and resources. The examination of race, gender, and social class in sports participation demonstrates how these intersecting social categories influence individuals' access to sports and their prospects of achieving success. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the significance of sports as a platform for social change and resistance. It explores the role of activism and protests within the sporting world, illustrating how athletes utilize their platforms to challenge discrimination and advocate for social justice. Notably, the article provides concrete examples of social change facilitated through sports, demonstrating how sports can serve as a potent tool for raising awareness, challenging social norms, and promoting inclusivity and equity.Conclusion: This research paper emphasizes the significance of applying sociological imagination to the analysis of sports. By utilizing this approach, a comprehensive understanding of the social dynamics within sports is achieved, encompassing crucial aspects such as socialization processes, identity formation, social inequalities, and the potential for social change. The findings underscore the importance of considering social factors in sports analysis, recognizing the role of sports in shaping individuals' social skills, values, and identities. Moreover, this study identifies several areas that warrant further research. The exploration of intersectionality in sports, considering the overlapping influences of race, gender, social class, and other social categories, offers a promising avenue for deeper analysis. Additionally, the examination of the role of technology and digital media in sports, as well as the impact of sports on globalization, health inequalities, sports governance and policy, and sports as a platform for social change and resistance, present fertile ground for future investigations. By embracing sociological imagination, researchers can contribute to a more profound understanding of sports as a complex social phenomenon. Furthermore, it enables the identification and examination of social issues and power dynamics within sporting environments, paving the way for the creation of more inclusive, equitable, and socially conscious practices within the realm of sports.

Smartphone addiction refers to the possible effects of smartphone use on schoolwork, daily life, and interpersonal relationships. In a worse situation, a person may repeatedly violate social norms. Most of the previous studies focused on the relationships between smartphone addiction and the personality of smartphone addicts (Mosalanejad et al, 2019), shyness (Han et al, 2017), melancholia, negative emotion traits (Chen et al, 2016), and Peer relationships (Wang et al, 2018). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of social norms of using smart phones on interpersonal relationships with the mediating role of smartphone addiction and shyness in selected athletes of student Olympiads in the country.Methodology:The research method is descriptive and was conducted in the field. The statistical population of the research was the students who participated in the Olympiads of the best student sports talents in 1401. According to Morgan's table, the sample was selected in the number of 384 people and the multi-stage cluster sampling method was available. The research tools included Chan's (2015) smartphone social norms questionnaire, Hong's (2020) interpersonal relationship questionnaire, Hong et al.'s (2012) smartphone addiction questionnaire, and Stanford's shyness questionnaire (1990) were used. To ensure the validity of the questionnaires, after compiling them, the opinions and guidance of expert professors in the science of sports management were used and their opinions were included in the final questionnaire. To ensure the reliability of the questionnaires, 30 copies were distributed in the preliminary study on a sample that was completely randomly selected, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the social norms of smartphone use (α = 0.78), interpersonal relationship questionnaire (0.80) =α), smartphone addiction (α=0.75) and shyness (α=0.89) were obtained. In the following, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential (Kalmogrof-Smirnov, structural equation modeling) methods were used to analyze the data using SPSS software. Version 22 and Smart Plus version 3 were used at a significance level of p≤05Results: The results of the research showed that social norms have a significant effect on interpersonal relationships and shyness plays a mediating role in the relationship between social norms and interpersonal relationships. The value of Sobel's statistic for smartphone addiction (1.40) and shyness (2) was reported that because shyness variables exceed the critical value of 1.96, it can be said that shyness plays a mediating role in the relationship between social norms and interpersonal relationships. have. But it is not significant for the smartphone addiction variable according to the value calculated for the Sobel statistic.Conclusion:Therefore, it is suggested that positive social norms in society should be emphasized more by families and educational institutions, including education, in order to use them to create positive relationships between students.Conclusion:Therefore, it is suggested that positive social norms in society should be emphasized more by families and educational institutions, including education, in order to use them to create positive relationships between students Manuscript profile -
