标题：The Emergence of Social Malingering in Everyday life: Interaction among Employees and Clients in Complex No. 10 of Dispute Resolution Council Center in Tehran
摘要：Introduction The starting point of this study is to focus on social malingering, which bears up the avoidance of performing legal and moral duties pretexted as unjustified external factors. The main question iswhy and how this social action appears in social interactions and daily life. In Iran, various political and social groups do not take responsibility for their behaviors; instead, they blame others for their shortcomings and anomalies. Many intellectuals have turned their backs on politics and do not pay attention to people's lives. Also in social interactions and daily life, drivers may not take responsibility for their driving violations and carelessness; similarly nurses and physicians consider low facilities, inadequate salaries, and benefits and similar factors as the main cause of their shortcomings. It is often heard that the lack of competency of authorities is the only cause of social problems and issues. The aforementioned instances could form malingering that has a social dimension. According to experts, malingering is not an individual problem; rather, it stems from major cultural and psychological problems in a society. In this way, the majority of psychiatric and psychological researches on malingering seek to diagnose and treat it from a psychological point of view. Using the concept of social malingering in the sociological context, this study seeks to analyze the contexts of formation and emergence of the avoidance of performing legal and moral duties pretexted as external unjustified factors in social interactions and daily life. Five research questions are formed in this study: 1) What are? contextual conditions in the occurrence of social malingering?; 2) What are? intervening conditions in the occurrence of social malingering?; 3) Under what causal conditions does social malingering appear in social interactions and daily life?; 4) What do malingerers think about their performance?; and 5) What strategies do people use for social malingering, and what are the strategies for dealing with them in social interactions and daily life?
