چکیده

Young people in Iranian society, like their global counterparts, are always heralds of change and transformation. A major part of their changes occur in their integration into society. This linking of them has been placed in the struggle of the dynamics of power and resistance. This research investigated this issue in the form of scientific research. By reviewing the existing studies and theories, a theoretical sensitivity was written and based on inclusion criteria, interviews were conducted from February 2021 to June 2022 with 20 young people from Astana (18-19 years old entering Yazd University). Using the systematic grounded theory method, the data were analyzed in the form of open, central, and selective coding. Various strategies such as long participation in the platform, rich description, approval of participants, and review of colleagues were used to validate the data. The main extracted categories include tolerant acceptance, family rejectionism, conservative exclusivity, hedonistic hedonism, materialism in dating, etc., and the core category of the research, multiple concerns in dating, was extracted from them. A paradigm model was drawn on the basis of these categories, and the research theory was also presented. The main result of the research is based on the fact that the field of friendship and bonding among Astana youth is a field full of complexity and pluralism, which is caused by two structural and agency forces, whose interaction creates plural heterogeneity for young people.
