One of the less discussed issues in psychology is the relationship between personality and religion. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between personality characteristics and practice of religious beliefs، religious orientation and religious attitude. The results of this study can be useful in identifying personality traits which make the individual tend to religious behavior. In this causal-comparative study، 150 boys and 150 girls were selected by cluster sampling from among students in Payam-e-Noor University (Fasa Campus) and were analyzed based on standardized Big Five Personality Inventory NEO questionnaires in the domains of religious orientation، religious attitude، and practice of religious beliefs. The regression analysis results showed that conscientiousness can predict religious beliefs. Agreeableness factor can predict the practice of religious beliefs. Flexibility and Neuroticism couldn''t predict any religious aspect. The results consistent with previous research showed that women meaningfully achieved higher scores in religiousness and personality traits compared to men. However، unlike previous research، the survey results showed that extroversion factor could predict religious orientation; hence it is recommended that the study be replicated in other research communities.

In this paper, after defining the normative approach of Islam to marriage in areas such as the difference of sexual desire between men and women, the proper age of marriage, the necessity of helping one's children to marry, couple's age difference, monogamous relationship, compatibility between spouses, the process of seeking a marital partner and elements of informed choice of the spouse, it has been attempted to depict its representation in Iranian cinema. This study has been done with a quantitative content analysis. The research population consisted of Iranian movies from 1997 through 2011, where at least one of the leading roles was given to marriage. The final selection was 116 which were accessible from among 150 movies. The content analysis of the movies signifies instances of undesirable representation of marriage in the Iranian cinema: Lessening the importance of marriage as a serious institution, belittling meaningful boundaries of relations before and after marriage i.e. decreasing its religious sanctity, associating marriage with tension i.e. weakening its appeasing effect, distorting the ritual aspects of marriage, and finally offering an unrealistic treatment of the issue.

The purpose of this paper is to explain the theoretical and empirical analysis model where the audience's attitude toward the content of the religious media (IRIB) is defined as an internal variable, and the religious dimensions of the audience and their religious knowledge are defined as external variables. The definition of each of the variables in the research model has a theoretical basis. The methodology of the research is survey and the data was gathered by reliable questionnaires. The population of the study is the people of Isfahan city, and the sampling number is 300 based on random sampling. In this research the effect of religiousness dimensions of the audience, their type of religiousness, and range of their religious knowledge on their attitude toward the religious media content were measured within the framework of various hypotheses. Chi-square fit indices indicate a numerical value equal to 3.28. This is a good value based on what Schumacher and Lumks (2009) suggest that an acceptable value is between 1 to 5. In addition to the above parameters, the other parameters of the model are calculated, one of which is the root mean square error of estimating (RMSEA) with the amount of 0.078, which is less than 8% of what is obtained.

Since observing justice is important and essential in Islam, the present article reviews the status of justice in communication and informing from the perspective Islam. That on the one hand the status of justice in informing of citizens and on the other hand, broadcasting and transmitting news of different groups of citizens of the Islamic state news is permissible thoroughly or it is obligatory to distinguish different groups and various information? The author believes that facilitating the acquisition and dissemination of information to the public fairly is the duty of mass media. This condition is obviously accepted by intellectuals who work on the reporting in the contract and act on their obligation to provide it. Institutions of publishing news for all individuals, parties, etc. who are citizens of the Islamic state who are not banned from public funds, may provide agency and publishing. Opponents of the Islamic regime are two categories: First group: this group proceeded to violence and war against the Islamic state. This group does not share on the potential of reporting news in the Islamic government according to the wisdom and religious. second group: this group are opponents of Islamic government but the opposition is just theoretically and ideologically. This group, if observe the ethical and legal principles is share in the reporting system.

The Leader's nomination of each year introduces the main perspectives of it. These perspectives are the important stages in achieving the objectives of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s 1404 Vision Statement and the desired goal of the “Justice and Development Decade”. Therefore, trying to pursue the planned goals in this year is very critical. In this research, after reviewing the literature in this subject, forming thought groups and surveying the opinions of experts, the capabilities of Iran’s media for realizing the motto “The Year of National Production, and Promoting Iranian Labor and Investment” have been identified. Also in the second stage, with the help of analytical hierarchy process (AHP), these strategic perspectives and functional solutions have been ranked. Given the results of the research, culture making in families and creating the necessary discourses in society are the main perspectives of Iran’s media in this year. Controlling the implementations of these polices, and their explanation with introducing the solutions and software protection are in the later ranks. Creating work culture, constant reporting of the national economic activities and describing the progress of national projects, introducing Islamic- Iranian lifestyle, discussing people’s problems and pursuing the official's responses, and offering solutions for reducing consumption with ensuing consumption models are among the main operational solutions for achieving this year’s goal. To sum up, we can say that the most important mission of the national media for this year is to try to create the so-called jihadi culture (high-spirited and heroic endeavor to change for the best) in all social areas.
