Power at the micro-level is one of the determining factors of interpersonal relationships, conflict conditions as well as problem-solving techniques. As one of the most important social institutions, the family is responsible for socializing and internalizing how to deal with problems and ways of solving problems in forms of agreement, magisterial or intimidation and suppression. One of the most important factors affecting family-level problem solving is family structure changes and power relations. This paper is based on a national survey in the family domain through a quantitative method and a questionnaire among 5004 Iranian people was completed by a two-stage sampling method. We seek to provide a complete description of the power structure in the Iranian Family. According to the findings of this study, the structure of power in the Iranian family has changed in its organizational dimensions compared to the past in such a way that the distribution of power among family members has become more symmetrical and has been reduced to a level of vertical hierarchy. In contrast, the family's willingness and orientation towards civic ways in decision-making and problem-solving have increased among members.

The main objective of this research is to study the experience of the graduate Islamic school girls in regard to their education in such schools. The conceptual framework of the study is the articulation of concepts such as Bourdieu's habitus, Veblen's conspicuous consumption, as well as Schutz's dislocation of meaning and Giddens' reflexivity. The article is done in qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach and the tool used for analyzed concepts is thematic analysis. On the basis of the narrative of those conversations by the girl of the study, four main themes in the experience are as the following: the continuity of luxury life under the brand name of the Islamic schooling; the reproduction of the feeling of being the minority and the formation of the minor discourse of resistance; comfortable and peaceful way of living religiously ; having a private atmosphere of one’ own and finally from greenhouse life to encounter with the Other and the reflexivity experience. This study shows that although these girls face a kind of multiplicity and diversity after graduation under the dislocation of meaning, and are subjected to experience reflexivity, but ultimately, habitus aristocracy defines their action and interpretative frameworks.

The statistical population of the research includes 18 women aged 22-60 residing in this city. The researchers in this qualitative study have used phenomenological approach and in-depth interview technique. According to the research results, Deylam city is a society in transition from a traditional situation to a modern one and the indices of modernity such as young women's participation and their progress are significantly seen. Results show that women understand and interpret housewifery based on their own individual and social experiences. In addition, women's responsibility and religious modeling in regard to accepting the role of housewifery and internalizing housewifery norms play an essential role. Women's level of satisfaction and dissatisfaction with housewifery is affected by the satisfaction with married life and their perception of maternal status. The index of power in family in regard to women's subjection to men in house affairs has also an important role. In the end, women draw upon various methods like continuing education, attending religious ceremonies, participating in sports clubs and family parties for their satisfaction and to enhance their lifestyle.
