Abstract :
This study aimed to investigate the cause of women’s presence in cyber space. To understand why women prefer to spend their spare time in this space, the qualitative method and thematic analysis is used. Depth interviews with 30 women who were homemakers and bachelor aged between 30 and 40 years old were performed. 8 following themes have been obtained: easy and uninterrupted communication with friends and family, ability to learn, possibility of co-existence of different groups, means for being updated, more success in raising children, understanding others’ thoughts, ascending interaction with people and low cost. At the end each of obtained themes were related into three paradigms of sociological analysis: social fact, social definition and social behavior. First theme was analyzed with the "colonization of life world" theory by Habermas, second theme with "exchange theory" by Homans, third one with "separation of time and space "by Giddens, forth with "differentiations Theory" by Baudrillard, fifth with "exchange theory" by Homans, sixth with "mystification theory" by Goffman and eight with "rational choice theory" by Colman.
