				<dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the young Iranian society, any issues related to the youth can be considered as a social problem, since young generation form one third of the Iranian society, i.e.there are more than 24 million people ranging from 20 to 35 years of age. Young generation can be quite influential in the family, as the main Iranian social institution. Sociologists see marriage as a social contract which both guarantees the survival of human being and brings about tranquility and security in a society. Moreover, family institution is the most important social institution. Today, with the increase in the age of marriage and reduction in the rate of marriage, the youths’ selecting a marriage partner and forming a family have become considerably important issues. The youth avoid getting married due to several reasons so the issue of marriage postponement goes beyond a personal issue andprojectsitself as a social one. The findings of the present study confirm the positive attitude of the majority of the youth towards the necessity of marriage.  Despite the current increase in the marriage age, the youth expressed that the optimal marriage age is 23.2 for females and 27.6 for males.]]></dcterms:abstract>

				<dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The present research studies Iranian women issues from pre-Islamic era until Islamic revolution from the point of view of travel writers; considers women problems as well as their negative behaviors and investigates the travel writers’ position in reflecting the status of an Iranian woman. The research is based on thematic analysis. Through categorizing women status into three categories, proposition related to “women negative ethos” and“oppression of women” were extracted. According to the findings of the study, despite some undeniable propositions, lack of true understanding of the Iranian society by travel writers was seen to be occasionally at work in their reports. Thus, the travel writers’ perception of women issues can be studied in three modes: first, those who relied on their imaginations or cited other travel writers’ statements on Iranian women without having access to women. Second, those maletravel writers who had access to women and third, those female travel writers who had relations withIranian women. The variety of observations and discrepanciesin these three categories indicate that the claims made by the travel writers about Iranian women status need to be taken into consideration with more care and caution depending on theirextent of access to the Iranian feminine society.]]></dcterms:abstract>

The research methodology is a comparative one, and the data was collected through documents and the 2013 Human Development Report by the United Nations. The findings reveal that considering women development indices, Iran stands in the lower ranks of the list of countries with high human development. However, the components of this index indicate that Iran has climbed upthe averagevaluesof human development index in the world and the countries with high human developmentin case of women’s health, hygiene and education development indices. Nonetheless, indices like women cooperation in the parliament and business market are not necessarily appropriate for determining women development in a country and more effective indices for evaluating political and economic development of women should be taken into consideration.]]></dcterms:abstract>

				<dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Researchers believe that there is an important decision-making process underlying every purchasing that should be studied. Analyzing customers’ manners can help organizations to improve their marketing strategies. Given that, a large number of studies have been conducted for categorizing customers on the basis of their purchasing behavior styles. The findings of such studies have providedresearchers and organization managers with more profound understanding of customers’ mentality and have made them prepare practical business strategies. In this study, through reviewing related literature, considering existing cultural differences, and then model testing through confirmatory factor analysis, 14 purchasing behavior styles consistent with Tehrani women were located in three dimensions. Statistical analyses werethen used for studying the model’s application. Styles including quality-oriented, comfort-oriented, community-oriented, value-oriented, taste-oriented, and price-oriented styles were respectively identified as the purchasing behavior styles of women in the textile industry in the grand city of Tehran.]]></dcterms:abstract>

				<dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Child marriage is defined as marriage before reaching the age of 18. The data for the study was collected through focused interview with 35 women in AranvaBidgol. The findings were then arrived at through thematic analysis of the collected data. Since these women had not been involved in the process of selecting their marriage partner and were not intellectually mature, their marriage was indeed a convention between their parents. Thus, these girls did not even have a true understanding of marriage and its responsibilities. They experienced lots of difficulties in their social and cultural relations in the society as well as personal relations including establishing proper relationship with their husbands, children and others. Moreover, their lack of proper training on sexual issues and early pregnancy had lasting consequences on them and made them experience mental and physical health problems.]]></dcterms:abstract>

				<dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this paper, we study the relationship between woman and city from the viewpoint of feminization of urban spaces. It is argued that thecurrentarena of Tehran has been feminized and women are gradually confirming their presence. The research methodology is a qualitative one, based on field study research method, as well as my personal lived experiences of living in Tehran. Tehrani residents witness the daily presence of women in various administrative, business, educational, and recreational domains. The coding and decoding of the city by these women have led to feminization of the city. Although our findings will probably be confronted byoppositions on the part of feminist groups, yet we can by no means refute the feminization transformations in urban spaces throughout the last century.]]></dcterms:abstract>

With that in view, three conditions were designed within a theoretical framework to study the women tendency for lying in general and according to their social status (being housewife, employee, or self-employed) in particular. The study was conducted by distributing questionnaires among 260 women residing in region 6, including housewives, employees, and self-employed ones. The finding revealed that the employee women tell lies less than the two other groups, and women generally tell more lies in case of facilitating social relations, as compared with the two other occasions.]]></dcterms:abstract>
