        One of the most important tasks of governments is to preserve and transfer the dominant political values, which is achieved through various factors that make virtual social networks one of them. Young people are the most important user of virtual social networks, and they are also at one of the most sensitive periods of political socialization. Therefore, the study of the role of factors affecting the political socialization of youth, which cyberspace is considered as the most important of these factors, is the goal of this research. The theoretical framework is a compilation framework derived from the theories of Giddens, Almond and Paul, Manuel Castells, Daniel Bell, Isabelle Ang and Elliott Katz, Harold Lasswell, Charles Wright, McCoyle, Robert Putnam, Max Weber, and Tickler. The present research method is based on the nature of quantitative data in terms of collecting time as a survey research. Multi-stage random sampling method is used. The sample size is calculated using the Cochran formula of 458 people. The results show that the greatest influence of independent variables on active user was (0.412), usage rate (0.174) and history of use (0.077). But the variables of the socio-economic base and the variable of media availability were not meaningful.

         Religious and political socialization is a stream by which religious and political culture or attitudes,visions, knowledge, information, and, in brief, religious and political values are transferred from one generationto another. The present research aimed at studying the relationship between religious socialization and politicalsocialization. The theoretical framework of the research is a combination of Glock and Stark´s theory ofreligiosity and Lucian Pye´s Theory. According to the former theory, the religious socialization includes“belief”, “practice”, “experience”, “knowledge”, and “consequences”. According to the later, politicalsocialization includes five dimensions of “political activity,” “political trust,” “political effectiveness,”“political interest,” “political tolerance” which may become realizable in later stages and under a basicsocialization, especially religious socialization. A survey method of descriptive-analytical type was used to dothe research and, the data were gathered using two methods of documentary- and library-based and survey bythe researcher-made questionnaire. The studied population included 384 individuals of 18-28-years old living inIran´s central province. Though, the rituals aspect – religious socialization, in particular – is on a lower levelthan the other aspects, the results showed the success of the youth religious socialization. In general, thepolitical socialization, and internalization of political values and norms among the youth are lower in degree incomparison with religious socialization. The results also show that there is a significant relationship between thedifferent dimensions of religious socialization and political socialization. The corrected coefficient ofdetermination shows that 35% of the changes in the dependent variable political socialization was determined bythe variables entered in the regression model.  Manuscript profile

        Abstract The present paper tries to discover the causes of Taliban emergence. Although there are external and internal factors paving the emergence of Taliban; moreover, since external factors may be an accelerating factor, therefore, studying and discovering factors which formed Taliban are worth considering.   It seems that the way Taliban’s political beliefs, ideas and thoughts formed in political sociology has eluded researchers, or has received superficial attention. The studies in the recent years about Taliban’s emergence have focused on the external factors making Taliban’s formation. In addition, most researchers paid attention to the external factors and the theory of Islam phobia which show some drawbacks. The present study applies a theoretical framework adapted from the structural theory of Michael Krause and Conceptual theory of Max Weber from one hand and considers the role of primary and secondary channels of political socialization on the other hand, and has focused on this significant idea and ignores the evaluation of different political aspects and foreign dependency, and also the policies of the regional and world countries which have had a role in forming Taleban so as to recognize the causes of emergence of Tabelanism in Afghanistan.     Manuscript profile

        The aim of the present study was to do a comparative study of the pattern of political socialization in secondary school textbooks in the Justice-oriented government. For this purpose, the textbooks of the second year of high school in humanities, Islamic arts and education, empirical sciences, physics and mathematics, vocational and technical, and work knowledge were considered as the statistical population and based on purposive sampling, social studies cluster books were selected as the statistical sample. William Scott’s method was used to measure the components, based on which an agreement coefficient of 93.20 was obtained. Descriptive and inferential statistics and SPSS software were used to analyze the data. In the context of this study, the model of political socialization in terms of teaching the categories of republic, tolerance, political legitimacy, political identity, critical pedagogy, social justice, Islamic revolutionary political values, economics, good governance, political attitude, political participation and awareness were analyzed. Findings indicate that in the studied books, the dominant approach is to promote the political and ideological components of the Islamic Revolution, in the process of which the components of republic and good governance have been neglected. The components of religious political identity and political values of the Islamic Revolution are the most important categories related to political socialization in these books, which have been considered through alienation or ideological introduction and critique of Western political identities .Also, the political values of the Islamic Revolution are emphasized more than its social and economic values.
