Long Abstract
Introduction
It must be acknowledged that with the advent of technology and the need for Internet access, new media such as virtual social networks have replaced traditional institutions of socialization and identification. Virtual social networks, as a modern technology, are one of the important factors in changing the interests and tastes of adolescents and young people. In fact, with the spread of interaction in cyberspace, cultural features have become detached from time and place and are available to people all over the world. Also, in the modern age, consumption is an identifying object that one uses to show her/his physical identity. Considering that before the new media developments and the spread of consumerism, the main source of shaping the role modeling of female students in Mahshahr was their living environment and local indigenous cultures, the use of virtual social networks, influenced by the specific characteristics and functions of these networks, puts them (female high school students in Mahshahr) in direct connection with the various values and characteristics of world culture. Therefore, the present study tries to answer the following question: To what extent do virtual social networks and consumerism affect the clothing style of female high school students in Mahshahr?
Research Methods
The present study is a quantitative research based on the type of collected data. The strategy used in this research is survey. The statistical population of this study is 10012 female high school students in Mahshahr. For sampling, a class-based proportional method based on the population of high school girls was used, in which 400 students were selected and studied as a sample. The number of respondents is determined by degree (200 first-year students and 200 second-year students) and the type of school (200 students in public school and 200 students in non-government school). The tool used in this research is a researcher-made questionnaire. Before scaling, the initial questionnaire was initially tested and by the obtained results, the existing deficiencies were eliminated and the final questionnaire was set. After collecting data, their analysis was performed by using SPSS statistical software and statistical tests appropriate to each hypothesis were used to examine the relationship between variables. In this regard, to ensure the necessary credibility, consulting and the opinions of relevant professors and experts, as well as Cronbach's alpha test has been used for the reliability of the questionnaire. By calculating Cronbach's alpha method, the reliability coefficient for the concepts of coverage style is 0.70 and consumerism is 0.93. The average of the main variables of the research including coverage style is 40.03, duration of use of social networks is 4.12, rate of use of social networks is 6.16 and consumerism is 76.56.
Research Findings
The results of Pearson correlation coefficient show that there is a direct, positive and significant relationship between the duration of using social networks and coverage style on the one hand, between the use of social networks and coverage style on the other hand, and finally, between consumerism and clothing style. Also, the results of regression analysis show the effect of the consumerism variable with 0.316 percent as the only accepted variable and influencing the coverage style. Finally, through t-test, a significant relationship was confirmed between the variable of educational level and coverage style and there was no significant relationship between the variable of school type and coverage style.
