Abstract
Introduction: Given that the internet addiction affects different aspects of human life, adolescents among different age groups are most vulnerable because of internet's allure and special characteristics of their age. So, the aim of this study was to predict of internet addiction based on perceived social support and father bonding.
Method: In this study, among all students of Shiraz high schools,187 students (107 boy and 80 girl) were chosen by multistage cluster sampling, and they were asked to fill Young’s internet addiction test, Zimet’s perceived social support and Parker’s parental bonding (with father) questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS 16 whit step by step statistical regression test, independent T- test and Central and dispersion indexes.
Finding: the results of regression analyses showed that father bonding and the subscale of friends from perceived social support didn’t predict internet addiction, but the subscale of family (β=-0.28, ρ<0.01) and important person (β=0.19, ρ<0.01) predicted internet addiction. And finally Based on independent T-Test there wasn’t any significant differences between girls and boys in the use of the internet.
Results: this study indicated that family and important people’s support are very important for prevention of internet addiction in teen girls and boys.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to present a model for predicting emotional divorce based on attachment styles, personality traits and job self-efficacy mediated by perceived social support in employed married women. The method of this research was descriptive-correlational and explanatory with a structural model approach. 400 people were selected from the community of married women working in Tehran Municipality by cluster random sampling method. Guttman Emotional Divorce Questionnaire, Collins and Reed Attachment Questionnaire (1996), NEO-FFI Personality Traits, Job Self-Efficacy (Riggs & Knight, 1994) and Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (MSPSS) were used to collect data. The results showed that the highest factor load belongs to the indicator of individual consequences (β = 0.882) and the smallest factor load belongs to the indicator of individual beliefs (β = 0.675) job self-efficacy. Thus, considering that the factor loads of all indicators were higher than 0.32, it can be said that all of them have the necessary power to measure the latent variables of the present study. The results showed that according to the obtained results, perceived social support can play a mediating role between emotional divorce, attachment styles, personality traits and job self-efficacy in married working women.
