The purpose of this study is to do a sociological survey of the factors affecting tourism satisfaction. This study is carried out with sample group of 250 foreign tourists in Kish Island, by the survey method and the data is collected by an English questionnaire. The study uses Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory, Homans’ Exchange Theory, and Morton’s Instrument and Goal Theory to explain the tourism satisfaction. The findings of this survey showed that there are meaningful and positive relationships between the factors of population, economy, tourism knowledge, tourism experiences, tourism attractions, propaganda, Iran’s political situation, nationality, religion, and tourism satisfaction. The results of the multivariable analysis show that the variables of market attraction, tourists’ rights, historical attractions, and the age are the parameters that are most effective. The factors are entered into the regression equation in the field of tourism satisfaction and they could explain more than half of the changes of the dependent variable. The study model explains more than half of the variance of the dependent variable (tourism satisfaction). Regarding this, it seems that the theoretical model of the study, which is derived from the theories of Maslow, Homans and Morton, is a proper and efficient model to evaluate the tourism satisfaction.

The study of consumer tastes and preferences of individuals towards cultural goods including music can determine the type and structure of social relations and interaction between people in different social strata.Contrary to what is commonly believed to joy and entertainment, instrumental music is not the thing that can reflect the meaning of life in a community or group. This study aims to study music in sociological survey conducted among young people in Sabzevar. This study uses survey method on 400 young people. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the use of music and religion. This means that with increasing religiosity of music consumption, the amount of interest to foreign music, musical activities and reduced interest rates to female and male singers on the amount of interest will be added. When the cultural capital increases, consumption will raise in all its dimensions. Social capital does not explain musical consumption. Economic and social status of the parents, amount of musical interest, activity, and cognition relates to the numbers of foreign music and female singer. Manuscript profile
