With the vast social changes in Iran in recent years; the role, view and expectations of girls and women has experienced the most serious social challenges. Their unexampled attendance in various social, political, economic and cultural arenas truly shows this matter. Nonetheless it seems that these codified social programs do not consider the real condition and because of insufficient acquaintance with the target group, don't have the proper congruity with their respondents. The goal of this research is to show an image of basic needs, priorities and preferences of 9 - 18 years old girls in Tehran. Needs of girls are divided under two general social and psycho-individual classes. Results of the research showed that institutional trust and general trust are the most important items for them; and among thirteen determined psycho-individual needs, getting adored, success and kindness are the most important items. Among different kinds of music, juvenile girls prefer listening to pop music. They prefer jaunt with their friends to other kinds of spending leisure time; and happy and comedy is their beloved movie genre. Results of scrutinizing the correlations between different needs and background variables show that economic strata of family has the least meaningful correlations with the needs of juvenile girls. Cultural capital and age- level of education- respectively show more meaningful correlations.

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.
