Abstract

Part of people's daily life is online use of social networks. However, the use of these networks may go beyond a habit, leading to a habitual pattern of use that endangers one's well-being. This research has evaluated a theoretical model that four criteria of social capital, by mediating the variables, bonding (strong relationship) and bridging (weak relationship) social capital, in the role of habitual use of filtered online social networks in the context of street riots. look into it. This model was carried out using structural equations of partial least squares, which is modeled with targeted data collected in Iranian cities. The results of the research showed that interaction and confrontation is the most important driver for bonding and bridging social capital with online users. trust was statistically significant only for social capital connection. Unlike the bonding variable, bridging social capital does not have a significant relationship with the habitual behavior of using social networks. Shared values were not statistically significant for bridging and bonding social capital
