The Effect of Satellite on the Relation between Religiosity and Lifestyle of the Students of Ilam University

Upon the popularity and dominance of new technologies over human’s life, satellite along with other similar media has been used to globalize public thought and eliminate local cultural features and change useful religious teachings through their immoral and useless programs. The aim of this study is to investigate how satellite influences the relation between religiosity and lifestyle among the students of Ilam University. The study contains a primary hypothesis and three secondary ones. The method is descriptive and we use correlation and regression to do the research and examine our hypotheses. We had a 6000 population out of whom we selected 300 ones through random simple sampling. The research concludes that satellite balances the relationship between the students’ religiosity and their lifestyle; in other words, satellite plays the role of a strong modifier between them and affects their relationship. It is suggested that families and the media be a guide to the youth in all aspects of their religiosity, including their religious belief, religious emotions, and fulfillment of their religious duties. In addition, the reason why abnormal styles and models are preached on the satellite and their background aims should be clarified along with the waysby which they should be confronted logically.
