Attitude towards marriage is one of the key mechanisms for predicting actual behavior in marriage. It is influenced by multiple, social, cultural and economic factors. This study aimed to investigate the causes or the various factors that affect the attitude of young people towards marriage. Because of the multidimensional nature of human and social phenomena and the multiplicity of theories about different aspects of marriage, this research attempts to combine related theories in order to offer a better understanding and explanation of negative attitudes towards marriage and the causes of marriage age rising. The study was a social survey and data collected using questionnaires and interviews. The sample included the active population (65-15 years) of the city of Kashan in 2012. Using Cochran sampling formula, 620 participants were selected for the study. Results showed that there were meaningful relationships between negative attitudes towards marriage on the one hand, and familial conditions, economic situation, high expectations, unemployment, high cost of marriage, moral deviations, improper media functions, and the fear of the future, on the other hand. Attenuation of religious beliefs (F =15.57) and high costs of marriage (F= 10.49) were the strongest predictors in the study.

Today, fatalism isconsidered by social sciences experts as both a type of cultural belief and a socio-cultural barrier. Investigating this concept as viewed by women is of great significance, given the fact that they form half of the body of the society. Accordingly, the present paper aims to investigate the rate of fatalism in women and factors affecting that among the participants of this study. The study is a social survey and the data was collected through conducting questionnaires. The Cranach alpha value confirmed the reliability of the research scales. The research population consisted of women over the age of fifteen in Kashan and Aran&Bidgol in the year 2011. Through Cochran measuring formula, four hundred women were selected as the sample size and were studied by employing Quota method. The values of Pearson correlation coefficient indicate significant relationships between the variables of conventionalism (r=.574), gender-based generalizability (r=.409), lax disciplinary treatment (r=.155), authoritative disciplinary treatment (r=.256), and totalitarian disciplinary treatment (r=.367), and the rate of fatalism among the respondents. The results of regression analyses reveal that the most effective factor in fatalism relates to the variable of conventionalism, rating B= .48. The second most effective factor is gander-based generalizability, and the third stance belongs to authoritative disciplinary treatment, rating B=.084.
