Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to mediate the role of emotional regulation in the relationship between spiritual health and virtual network dependence in adolescents. Methods: The statistical population of this study consisted of all high school students (boys and girls) in Tehran in 1300-1400, from which 400 people were selected by stepwise cluster sampling. In this study, the tools of virtual network dependence (Khajeh Ahmadi et al., 2016), spiritual health (Pulotzin and Ellison, 1982), and emotional regulation (Garnefski and Kraaij, 2006) were used, all of which had acceptable validity and reliability. SPSS-V23 and Amos-V8.8 software were used to analyze the data. Results: Findings showed that the model has a good fit. The results showed that there is a relationship between spiritual health and dependence on virtual networks in adolescents. Spiritual health has an indirect effect on virtual network dependence through positive and negative emotion regulation (p <0.05). The results also showed that the indirect effect of spiritual health on adolescents' virtual network dependence was confirmed by emotion regulation with 95% confidence. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be said that considering the importance of using virtual networks in today's life and considering the contribution of each of the variables of spiritual health and emotional regulation in predicting dependence on virtual networks, we can plan for proper use of virtual networks. He made precise details.
