Abstract

Objective: Basing the increasing of addictive use of social networks, determining factors related to it is essential.  This study aimed to investigate the structural model of relations of addictive use of social networks basing on social rejection and familial emotional atmosphere with mediating role of shyness in students.
Methods: The present research method is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this study consisted of male secondary high-school students studying in public schools in Ardabil city in the academic year of 2019-2020. A sample of 248 people was randomly selected by multistage sampling method and answered to the questionnaires of addiction to social networks, social rejection, family emotional atmosphere and shyness. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling using SPSS25 and Lisrel8.8 software.
Results: The results showed that addiction to social networks has a positive relationship with social rejection and its components (except accusations) and with the total score of shyness and with family emotional atmosphere and its components (except Caress) has a negative relationship. Also, shyness is positively related to the social rejection and its components and negatively related to the family's emotional atmosphere and its components (except caressing) (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The fitness indicators of the model also confirmed the effect of social rejection and family emotional atmosphere on addictive use of social networks through shy mediation. The results showed that social rejection and family emotional atmosphere are predictors of addictive use of social network in students; furthermore, shyness can play mediating role in these relationships.
