The study is to explore the political participation and attendance among the young people in Yazd city. For this purpose, interviews were carried out using a qualitative method based on the interpretive approach. In the design of methodology, the ground theory was used, which was analyzed by Strauss and Corbin's objectivist approach. The target population of the study were youth in Yazd city who were selected by purposive sampling method and extracted information through in-depth interviews. According to the results, in addition to the causal conditions (lack of awareness and political opinion, feeling of inefficiency), contextual conditions (feeling of insecurity, propaganda pressure), and intervening conditions (stopping in private, refusing the party label), the emergence of the phenomenon of "quietness and political despair " that, the translation of the indifference of the targeted community towards political issues and activities, it has been a manifestation of the ignorance of structure and the demands of its perpetrators. This phenomenon has led to the selection of strategies (the separation of political action and attitudes, the passivity of protest), and eventually the consequences (the sense of disappointment and disability in the political area, cold participation in elections) have been among these young people.

The present study is to evaluate the life skills among the youth in Yazd province. The statistical population included all the youth in Yazd, Ardakan and Meybod cities aged 15 to 29 years old in 2016 that the total number was 211045. The sample size, based on the Cochran formula, was 953 in the three cities. The sampling method applied in this study was multi-stage cluster. The research’s instrument was life skills inventory (Saatchi et al., 1389). The findings of the research indicated that the level of life skills and the level of different aspects of life skills among the youth in Yazd were higher than the theoretical average amount. It was shown that men's life skills were significantly higher than women's, with the increase in the level of the education of parents, the level of life skills in young people increase and employees had a higher level of life skills. There was a significant relationship between the individuals' income and their life skills level, but there was not a significant relationship between the family's income and the life skills. Also, the findings of the present study did not show a significant difference between the level of life skills in terms of marital status. The results of this study indicated that the level of life skills among the youth in Yazd is higher than the theoretical mean, but there is a long way to reach the desired level. Findings of this study indicate the necessity of planning and implementing different programs in order to improve youth’s life skills.
