Abstract
The present study was carried out to design a model of the effect of selfie, social network sites usage, and the number of photos shared in social network sites on the happiness among national team athletes. This study was a survey research in terms of the methodology. The statistical population of this study included all athletes of national teams in Iran in different sport fields. Due to hard and difficult access to these athletes, 200 athletes of the national team were selected as the study sample. The results of this study showed that, the number of photos shared in social network sites has a significant positive effect on the happiness. Considering the results obtained in this study, it was found that, the model presented in this study has a suitable fit.
