The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between social acceptance according to planning of behaviour and sustainable development of students in using bicycles. The research method was descriptive-correlational, distributed by a questionnaire. The statistical population of the study was students of Imam Reza University of Mashhad. A randomized simple sampling method was used to collect the questionnaire (32 items) from 5 to 7 times 254 people. According to the probability distribution, 270 questionnaires were distributed among the subjects. A researcher-made questionnaire based on the Spritzer model (1997) and social acceptance questionnaire based on the theory of planned behavior of Eisen (1985), derived from previous research was used. The reliability coefficient (83/0) came out. Findings of the research indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between social acceptance and sustainable development (P<0.05). Also, 20% of the changes in sustainable development were related to the dimensions of social acceptance. Based on the results and given the importance of the role of social acceptance in improving and enhancing the sustainable development of bicycle use, it can be argued that by studying and researching this field, and paying attention to the development of these factors, we have taken effective steps towards achieving sustainable development.

Abstract Theoretically, the present paper is made up of some competing or alternative theories of white-collar crimes, including Hirschi & Stark’s theory of the Hellfire, Collins and Schmidt’s theory of personality correlates of white-collar crimes, James William Coleman’s sociological theory of corruption, and finally Cornish and Clark’s economic theory of white-collar crimes. In order to test the hypotheses extracted from the above mentioned theories, a representative sample of 120 prisoners of economic crimes currently incarcerated in Evin prison were selected. Since the present study is of a causal-comparative or quasi-experimental nature, a group of 120 managers currently active in Iranian corporations and official departments also responded to the research questionnaires. The logistic regression analysis accounted for 75 percent of the variance between the two groups. According to our analysis, despite enjoying a high level of religiosity and religious background, the economic criminals under the study have committed crimes. Moreover using a cost-benefit analysis before or during the crime commission, they (compared with the non-criminal group) had underestimated the probability of being caught and also that of certainty and severity of the punishments. Finally, they had committed crime according to their individual’s perception of the levels of criminal opportunity available in their workplace, an opportunity not to be missed out. Key Concepts: economic crimes, religious socialization, opportunity for committing crime, probability of crime being caught. scientific orientation, altogether accounted for 40 percent of changes in the variable of young women’s economic consumption. The results of the study indicate that approximately 53% of women have a moderate to high tendency to modernity, and this percentage reflects the state of transition from tradition to modernity in Iran. Among the women with a tendency to modernity, whenever modernism rate was higher, i.e. when this variable existed as an array of valuable resources such as risk-taking, academic orientation, progressivism and universality (dimensions of modernity) in different aspects of social life of women, it meant that women will experience more different lifestyles.

In recent years, due to the importance of leisure time in Iran, several studies have been conducted in this field. Because of the abundance and diversity of research conducted in the field of leisure time the need for combined research in this area, such meta-analysis, is deeply felt. The main question of this research is: what are the most important factors affecting leisure time research conducted in Iran? The research method of this paper is meta-analysis. The statistical population of the study incudes all scholarly scientific papers on leisure time published in the years 2001-2013. We used the Comprehensive Meta-analysis software to conduct the meta-analysis of the articles. The results show that social-economic status (SES), age, education and satisfaction with leisure facilities, compared to other variables, have a significant impact on leisure activities in Iran, an impact anticipated in the theories of Bourdieu, Smith and Dumazedier. The results also indicate that the relationship between socio-economic status and leisure time in the studies reviewed is positive and significant (effect size=0.41). Also the relationship between age and leisure time in the studies reviewed is negative and significant (effect size= -0.35). The results of the combined effects reveal that the relationship between education and leisure time in the reviewed studies, about 0.27, was positive and significant.
