  This study seeks to provide sociological explanations for “novelty” in Iran. The key question is “How the social institutions deal with “novelty”?” In this study a combination of theories of "Iranian novelty”, “indigenous novelty”, “National and alien novelty” presented by scholars such as Taghi Azad Armaki, Dr. Jamshid Behnam and Dr. Moosa Najafi. The sum of these theories is based on two points: First, modernity is different from novelty. Second, any community can experience its own novelty. The research method is documentary and data are collected by library method. The research results indicate that the governments have provided the areas for emergence of novelty in the past two hundred years in Iran. They have often followed all technological and material aspects of novelty. Iranian clergy have played a role in making the ground for novelty under three groups of “proponents”, “opponents” and “critics”. Also, Iranian intellectuals have welcomed novelty in the form of “proof, criticism and rejection”. The purity of knowledge and attachment of the intellectuals to novelty and its principles and achievements have been more than the rulers and clergies Manuscript profile

  The present study examines direct and indirect effects of religiosity on health. The health variable is considered in four dimensions of physical, mental, social and spiritual and the indirect effect of religiosity on health is examined through social support and self-esteem. To explain the relationship between variables the theories of Durkheim, Allport, Wilkinson, Pargamnt, and cooper smith have been used. The research method is survey and the data collected through a questionnaire.400 students were selected as the sample of the study using Cochran formula. In order to test the hypotheses Pearson correlation, regression analysis and path analysis were used. The results of Pearson correlation show that there is 99 percent significant correlation between religiosity, social support and self-esteem and overall health. In addition the results of multivariate regression analysis reveal that these independent variables explain 15.1% of variance of general health, 9.4% of variance of physical health, 23.2% of variance of mental health, 12.7% of variance of social health and 40.2% of variance of spiritual health.   Furthermore the results of path analysis indicate that religiosity doesn't have significant effect on general and social health. Religiosity has also indirect significant effect on these dimensions. These findings confirm the implications Manuscript profile

The reliability of the questionnaire is 82%which isobtained by usingCronbach'salpha. In order to determine the correlation between variables, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used. Because the significancy test of variables is less than 0/05 of the (0/05>sig), it can be concluded that the hypothesis was confirmed and there is correlation between these variables and body management. Religious variable (with explanatory power-22percent) has a negative relationship with the body management.
