Long Abstract
Introduction
Lifestyle refers to diversity in the choice of behavior, actions, and emphasis on different tastes and inclinations by individuals and groups. Different domestic researches have applied the concept of lifestyle using different theoretical approaches and with different analytical purposes and have pointed out and used different types of lifestyles. It seems that conducting research is necessary to categorize the types of lifestyle used in these studies, their theoretical analysis and creating order in their literature. Accordingly, the present article tries to study and Meta-analyze these studies with the aim of typology of lifestyle in Iranian research. This study, by post-analysis of lifestyle studies, seeks to answer the question of whether there is a single procedure in defining, studying and testing lifestyle in Iran. And in the absence of it, what types of lifestyle are considered as a prominent feature of Iranian society and what are the dimensions and components of these types? From this perspective, this study is a kind of meta-analysis or in other words, a posterior study in relation with studies conducted in the field of lifestyle.
Research Methods
The method of this research is qualitative meta-analysis. Meta-analysis is actually a kind of a posteriori study that is based on studies done on a specific topic. In this regard, all articles on lifestyle published in the scientific database of Jahad Daneshgahi and the comprehensive portal of the humanities belonging to the Institute of Humanities and Cultural Studies were studied. After removing review and library studies, 31 research articles were selected as the statistical population of the present study. Although this study did not consider any limitations on the time interval between the subjects under study, but all the research articles indexed in this field are related to the period of 2005 to 2014.
Research Findings
Table 10 shows the information related to the classification of lifestyle metrics in the studied articles. As it is clear to see, the first 9 indicators have been used 95 times (out of 121 indicators). In other words, indicators of how to spend leisure time, preferences in choosing clothes, body management, inclination to religious practices, food preferences, cultural consumption, the extent and form of social relations, musical preferences and inclination to sports, together have allocated the 78.51 articles of lifestyle metrics to themselves. Articles 15 to 21 have been used only once.
Conclusion
The results of this study indicate that the theories of Bourdieu, Giddens, Veblen and Simmel have been most used in Iranian lifestyle research. In 31 articles, 31 lifestyles were found; but in the meantime, the modern demonstrative-consumer lifestyle has been used the most in articles and has been used in contrast to the traditional, quasi-traditional and religious lifestyles. Other common types include global versus local lifestyles. The concept of lifestyle in internal research has been partially removed from its theoretical basis and has been used as a neutral, practical and more general concept. On the other hand, the most widely used criteria for measuring the concept of lifestyle in the studied articles include leisure time, clothing preferences, body management, religious affiliation, food preferences, cultural consumption, amount and form of social relations, musical preferences and tendency to exercise.
