The present study aims at predicting psychosocial security based on social desirability, social adaptation and social adequacy among high school students in Tabriz. In this study, descriptive research method of correlation type was used. The target population was high school students in Tabriz with an estimated number of 42031 students. Using multistage cluster sampling and Krejcie and Morgan table, 381 students were selected. Four questionnaires [Maslow's Psychosocial Security (1992), Matson's Social Adaptation Questionnaire (1983), Flannery's Social Adequacy Scale (1990) and Crown and Marlowe's Social desirability Test] were used to collect the required data. The reliability of the 4 above-mentioned questionnaires was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and they were 0.91, 0.86, 0.89, and 088, respectively. Then, to test the hypotheses, descriptive and inferential statistics indices such as the mean, percentage, Kalmogrov-Smirnov test, Pearson test and multivariable regression test were used. The results of Pearson test showed that there is a significant relationship between social desirability, social adaption and social adequacy; and psychosocial security. Then in the following stage it came out that in simultaneous presence of all three variables of social desirability, social adaption and social adequacy, the relevant variables anticipate students’ psychosocial security to be in a positive and significant status

The present article aims at investigating the relationship between social capital and security. N= 370 representing the sample size of students of Isfahan University. The research method is of quantitative type and the tools used for collecting information were a questionnaire and simple random multi-stage cluster sampling. The research findings indicated that as far as sense of security is concerned, there was no significant difference between boys and girls sense of security. The correlation coefficient between social capital and sense of security (0.32) shows that there is a significant correlation between the two variables. Social contribution, with a coefficient of 0.28, and trust, with a coefficient of 0.36, significantly correlated with students’ sense of security. Although the social solidarity, compared to other components of social capital component has a low correlation with social security, significant correlation of this component variable of sense of security (0.16) indicates that social solidarity is among the most important factors affecting security and as social solidarity enhances, it paves the ground for enhancement of sense of security.

Watching "animation", their favorite genre, children learn the basics of manner of interaction with their surroundings. The present article aims at looking into "living skills for children" from the perspective of urban security, and while focusing on the qualitative analysis and semiotic approach, it analyzes and examines the security components in the animated series. For this purpose, all the episodes of this animation series have been studied. In the series called "living skills for children", two distinctive types of images with conflicting features of urban space are presented: semi-private space and public space. Semi-private spaces are represented by components such as the lushness and mobility of residents, the beauty and softness of the physical space, intimate and face-to-face communication, law-orientation and personal discipline. Public space representations are often skewed and combined with features such as citizens’ alienation and strangeness, law evasion and environmental pollution, and men’s free movement. Such a representation paradigm creates a deep gap between what children see around them.

The present study aims at analyzing the relationship between social capital and crime perception in urban areas of Kermanshah city. In terms of objective the research is of applied type, and as far as data collection method is concerned, it is of descriptive-survey type. The statistical population of this study was all 15 plus citizens in Kermanshah city. (N= 983764) and 402 persons selected by cluster random sampling, and were studied using Cochran formula. SPSS version 21 was used for analyzing data. The research findings show that there is a significant and inverse relationship between social capital and perception of crime distribution. The results of regression show that the value of T for social capital is (Sig.T = -0.5.63) and significance level (Sig.T = 0.000). Also, variables of education level and residence at the third stage, entered into the regression equation and these three variables together accounted for 0.41% of the internal variations of the dependent variable. It can be inferred that changes in the level and magnitude and severity of the components of social capital can influence the assumption of crime distribution in urban areas; and by enhancing the level of trust, social partnership, empathy and co-operation among citizens, proper law enforcement, and paving ground for social accountability, and ultimately, strengthening the common identities of citizens can be the basis for reducing crime rate and controlling it in the society.
