The data was analyzed by mean, standard deviation, Kolmogorov– Smirnov, Pearson and regression by SPSS (20). There was a positive significant relationship between perfectionism (P=0/00, r=0/38) and Concern over mistakes (P =0/00, r=0/26), suspect about performance (P =0/00, r=0/17), parental expectations (P =0/00, r=0/35), parental criticism (P =0/00, r=0/35), personal standards (P =0/00, r=0/17), and organization (P =0/00, r=0/06) and contrastive methods. Also, parental expectations (β= 0/26) and parental criticism (β= 0/15) were significant predications for contrastive methods. There was a positive significant relationship between self-determination (P=0/04, r=0/13) and internal reasons (P=0/01, r=0/15), coordination's reasons (P=0/00, r=0/17), identification (P=0/04, r=0/13), adjustment avoidance reasons (P=0/00, r=0/21) external avoidance reasons (P=0/00, r=0/24). The external avoidance reasons (β= 0/20) was the only significant predication for contrastive methods. According to the results, perfectionism and self-determination were the contrastive methods for athletes.

This qualitative study, by semi-structured interviews and based on young people's views, is to know how young people and their families, in interactions with each other, manage young people's marriages. Sample consists of 25 young peoples who are men and women, married and unmarried, and also from different ages and classes. Selection procedure is information-oriented and designed based on maximum variation and extreme cases. The research shows that the main burden of young people's marriages is on the shoulder of the family. It is enforced by traditional family roles in managing young people's marriages, as it is paralleled by, and accumulated with, new responsibilities, which are related to managing young people's educational aspirations and also their efforts for making an independent life. Since family does not have enough resources and simultaneously have to cope with different tasks, it inevitably would be faced with an unbearable and exhaustive situation, in addition to, probable pressure and intensified and increased inequality. The study also shows that relationships between young people and their families in managing marriages are based on reciprocal actions and also flexible interactions. Parents accept young people's right to make decisions and conduct their marriages, whereas young people, instead of rewarding family supports, embrace traditional procedures and acknowledge family interferences. This means that, whereas young people reflexively manage their marriages, families have beneficially remained efficient in supporting modern marriage processes. On these bases new order in managing young people's marriages is under construction.

Although wishes have been considered as one of the most indispensable concepts with many social consequences, but little attention has been given by sociologists to them. Furthermore, psychologists also have reduced this concept to the just some psychological features. In this study, with highlighting some special characteristics of wishes, we attempted to shed a light on their roles and influences on the social orientation of society. To do so, an extensive research has been done in order to identify and assess the Youth social wishes. In this vein, a first exploratory and interview-based study resulted in 18 identified categories of wishes. Then, we assessed the importance level of wishes and the impacts of structural-demographic variables (including gender, age and field of study) on them through a multi-stage cluster sampling survey among 2712 adolescents in Yazd city. According to the results, family-based and political wishes have been chosen as the most and the least important categories of wishes respectively. Furthermore, results showed that the importance of wishes for girls has been more than boys and in general, the importance of wishes decreased as they grew up. In addition, there has been significant relation between their field of study and some category of wishes. Finally, with discussing on the probable social consequent of wishes, the fields requiring planning and policy were introduced.
