Abstract
Background and Aim: According to the importance of social health and its increasing effects on life and society, the present research deals with prediction of social health based on social justice with the mediation of social indifference among citizens of Tehran in 1401.
Methods: The present research is practical in terms of purpose and causal-comparative of the survey type in terms of data collection method. Data were collected through the distribution of standard questionnaires among 384 citizens of Tehran - Saadat Abad (District 2), South Zanjan (District 10) and Kargar St (District 16) combining simple, cluster, multi-stage and stratified random sampling methods according to the sample size. In the theoretical model of this research, the social justice variable (individualism, equality, fairness and need) as an independent variable and the social indifference variable (decision-making power, distrust, aimlessness and political responsibility) as an internal dependent variable and social health variable (social cohesion, social acceptance, social participation, prosperity and social adaptation) has been considered as the main dependent variable. Finally, to investigate the relationship between the mentioned variables, structural equation modeling method with Lisrel 8.8 software was used.
Ethical Considerations: The respondents who participated in this research answered the questionnaires with the knowledge of conducting of the research and its goals.
Results: The results showed that social justice is effective on social health with the mediating role of social indifference. Also, social justice affects social indifference by 0.41 and social health by 0.78 and social indifference affects social health by 0.14.
Conclusion: In order to improvement of social health, it is necessary to establish social justice in society with the help of high-level organizations and managers, so that social indifference will decrease and we will see a society where people have high social health which can have positive effects in the society at different levels and solve the problems.
