Abstract

What should be considered above all in relation to internal social networks is the amount of opportunities that have been created in these networks. Humans communicate with their fellow human beings using new communication facilities, share their views, and in many cases, search for and meet their various needs by being present on social networks.

This research is a descriptive-survey research, considering its specific purpose, which is to examine the characteristics of a society. In this research, the information collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire, which was used to collect data. The statistical population of this research consists of students and faculty members of the Tehran Science and Research Branch, among whom the questionnaires were distributed. The results of this research show that the average use of internal social networks among faculty members (professors) and students is lower than the average. In another comparative look in this research, the average use of internal social networks by faculty members (professors) compared to the average use of internal social networks by students; is higher. The results of this study also show that there is a significant and positive relationship between psychological status, privacy encryption techniques, political approach, age, and web-based economic opportunities and the degree of tendency to internal social networks
