This is especially important when it is related to a particular age group and is related to the needs and desires of that group. The present study examines the literary tendencies of adolescents in Isfahan and the social causes of these tendencies.

Using a multistage cluster sampling method, 384 high school students were selected according to 6 educational districts of Isfahan.

Comes with humor and fantasy. Testing the hypotheses shows that the level of study is mostly related to the independent variable on attitude toward books, adolescent characteristics, and then socialization by family.
