Abstract

Due to the importance of finding the issue of political capital and its growing trend in Iran, studies have been conducted on this issue since the past decades; But studies around a common question often have inconsistent results. So; The purpose of this research is to combine the findings of qualitative and quantitative research on the factors affecting political capital in Iran in order to obtain a coherent result from their research findings. The research method is a combination of quantitative and qualitative studies in the period of 1396-1386 with the possibility of intentional non-probability method that the sample size is equal to 35 research documents. These documents were selected based on the validity and validity of the research, the quality of the research and the criterion of scientific research and the relationship with political capital. The results show that 5 important social indicators (social satisfaction, social participation, social trust, social cohesion), cultural (media literacy, moral commitment, national media performance, political culture), economic (improving quality of life index, improving welfare-material issues) And political (social policy-making, good governance, socio-political efficiency) has been effective in increasing and decreasing the political capital of citizens in the above period. The more normal the above indicators are, the better the political capital (political cohesion, political culture, political trust and political participation) in society will be and in social policy-making (national-local elections), the level of political participation will increase. Political legitimacy also depends on the amount of political capital addressed in this study
