    Introduction

    One ??of the most important features of cyberspace is the expansion of the importance of the individual and the private sphere against the public and the public sphere. People in cyber space can be present in different groups; They can feel separated from others and alone. The lack of levels of power in the virtual space makes the individuality of people not resolved in the crowd. In the real world, people's power of choice is always influenced by factors such as space, time, culture, government, etc. has been limited. But in the virtual world, these boundaries do not exist and people can make choices on a global scale (Mortaza Noormohammadi, 2018).

    Part of this contradiction is that some people believe that only substances that enter the body can be considered as addiction and this term should be used in the field of drugs. There is no need for an etiology for the disorder. Therefore, this disorder can affect the cognitive, behavioral and emotional functioning of a normal person, and therefore the behavior is within the normal range (Joshua [1], 1999).

    Internet addiction as »behavioral addiction «It is considered like addiction to gambling, overeating, compulsive watching of TV and the like. Here, the person becomes addicted not to the substance but to what he does on the computer or to the feeling he gets while doing it (Sussman and Tasion, 2002, quoted in Jaidi 2015). takes an opinion A disorder in which people find the computer screen more attractive than the reality of everyday life. In his opinion, anyone who has a computer is subject to addiction, but people who are shy, depressed, lonely, and bored, or those who are recovering from another addiction, are more vulnerable. Technology addiction can be operationally defined as a non-chemical (behavioral) addiction that includes humans and devices. This addiction may be passive (e.g. television) or active (computer games) and usually has inducing and reinforcing aspects that may help to increase the tendency to depend (Artez[3] et al., 2002).

    A new hypothesis says, it is possible that both in substance addiction and In habituation to non-materials, there is a chemical reaction. Addiction to electronic media is a type of impulse control disorder that refers to the excessive use of electronic media in a way that overshadows other social activities of a person and leads to a decline in his performance in various fields of work - scientific-social-professional-family-economic-psychological. To the extent that he ignores relationships in the real world such as friends and family. dir="RTL">1-2 statement of the problem

    Today, the development of information and communication technologies has affected various dimensions of human life (political, social, cultural, security and economic).With the fading of the importance of time and place and the lack of a common need to communicate, people can communicate with each other in the virtual space in a much easier way. This new form of communication causes a change in the culture and identity of societies (Mortaza Noormohammadi, 2018).

    Today, through information and communication technology, humans have become a community at the same time but with different locations and geography, which the expansion of communication and the accumulation of information has made them connected and common. This sharing has created a "virtual collective identity" for them, which forms their identity along with other aspects of people's identity.

    The emergence of new communication technologies has created a fundamental transformation in human communication. Castells believes that since the transmission and flow of culture takes place through communication, the field of culture, which includes systems of beliefs and behaviors, undergoes fundamental changes with the advent of new technology. The introduction of communication technologies has created a transformation in the structure of human communication. Bell believes that the virtual world and the possibility of simultaneous and countless communications has become the origin of the emergence of instant cultures, followed by the emergence of modern identities that are formed in a limited period and disappear quickly with the emergence of new identities (Mortaza Noormohammadi, 1388).

    New communication technologies provide people with the possibility of having a new solitude by creating a personal and private space for people in the virtual space. In this space, people communicate with each other, and by using Internet facilities such as social networks and chat rooms, a wide network of relationships between people is formed, which is uncontrollable. This gradually causes the disintegration of traditional networks of relationships such as neighbors and creates identities separate from the real world for people (Mortaza Noormohammadi, 2018). Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand, describe and control emotions. Every person with a certain level of emotional intelligence takes a stand when facing life events and compromises with them. It gives stability so that basically high emotional intelligence makes a person experience less unfortunate events in life (Golman, 1995)

    Bar-on (2001) considers emotional intelligence as a group of non-cognitive skills, talents and abilities that increase the ability of a person to succeed in dealing with pressures and environmental conditions and is among the people who look at emotional intelligence as a personality trait. In another view, emotional intelligence is viewed as a mental ability (Mayer and Salovey and Carcasio, 2000, quoted from Kochuk Attiz-Qudsi, 1383).

    1- Social networks have expanded significantly among people in society, especially young people, and there are few teenagers who are not members of Facebook and do not spend minutes of their day on it, and a percentage of these users have become dependent on Facebook, and it is necessary to develop a treatment plan to solve their problems. education, creating problems in social relationships and depression, shyness, loneliness, etc.) and for this reason, developing a program to reduce people's dependence on virtual networks can be effective in improving the lives of these people.

    3- Dependence on Facebook not only causes problems in the life of the dependent person, but also creates problems for the family of these people, especially dependent teenagers.

    4- So far, no research has been conducted inside the country in the field of Facebook dependence.

    5- High school students are in one of the most sensitive years of their lives, on the one hand, their education should bear fruit when they enter the university, and on the other hand, their identity is formed during this time, and dependence on social networks can have serious short-term and long-term effects on them, so taking measures to reduce this problem can greatly help improve the lives of these people.
