The study is to investigate the social impact of sports applications on depression in life with a dual approach of passion. It is a descriptive correlational research based on structural equation modeling and in terms of purpose is considered as an applied research. The statistical population consisted of all users of the Astrava application in Iran who were active in both cycling and athletics. The study used the Walrend et al. (2003) Passion Scale, the social impacts of Wallan et al. (2020) and the burnout in the lives of Copenhagen et al. (2005).
The results showed that mutual benefits were of a significant positive effect on adaptive desire. Cognition had a significant positive effect on extreme desire. Mental norms were of a significant positive effect on mutual benefits and cognition. Consistent desire was of a significant negative effect on burnout in life at the level of 0/01- while extreme desire had no significant effect on burnout in life. Consistent passion fully mediates the impact of reciprocal benefits on burnout in life. While extreme desire was of no significant mediating role in the effect of cognition on burnout in life.

Today, the exciting arena of watching football matches in multi-ethnic communities such as Iran has become an arena for showing and expressing ethnic identities. Accordingly, the study is to represent the dimensions of ethnic identity among football spectators by thematic analysis. The population included fans of three textile teams: Mazandaran, Khuzestan Steel and Tabriz Tractor, from three ethnic groups: Mazani, Turk and Arab. The sampling method was purposive that 28 in-depth interviews were conducted until reaching the theoretical saturation stage, 17 of which were coded and analyzed using Nvivo8 software.
The findings from the three-stage coding of qualitative data showed that spectators while watching the game in sports stadiums represent their ethnic identity through two components, each of which has its own dimensions.These two components are: 1) ethnicity through mental mediation (culture, history, racism, religion, symbolic attributes) and 2) ethnicity through objective mediation (land, music, diet, myths and celebrities, population rate, Symbolic cover, language, race).
Therefore, it can be said that watching football matches has the potential to represent ethnic identity for spectators, which leads to the adoption of strategic policies to strengthen national identity in order to reduce tensions, taking into account differences based on ethnic identity.
