This study examines the factors influencing women’s quest of divorce in Tehran. The research framework is based on the theory of order (within the family), social capital theory, and matching partnership. Research method was survey and the instrument of the study was questionnaires. 239 seeking divorce women and the same number of non-seeking divorce women were given the questionnaires. They were selected from different parts of Tehran, north, south, west and east. The findings reveal that in terms of social order, couple’s funds, matching partnership, there is a significant difference between the two groups which could be among the factors women in Tehran tend to divorce. Logistic regression results show that the probability for the divorce not to happen for those couples who enjoy within family order, partnership capital and negative point of view towards divorce and matching partnership, is 59 per cent. On the other hand it is 41 percent possible for the couples to have the above mentioned conditions and still divorce.

The way people spend their leisure is a reflection of social, economic, and cultural capital in any given society. The present research studies the influence of cultural capital on leisure using survey method. Instrument used to collect data has been: questionnaire. The statistical population constitutes all women living in the city of Juybar aged 15-64. Based on the results of the latest census of Statistical Center of Iran, 1385, total women’s population in Juybar was 25325. Using multistage cluster sampling, a sample size of 378 was chosen based on the formula of Cochran. The results show that the average women’s participation in active leisure (1.91 out of 4) is more than women’s participation in passive leisure (1.3 out of 4). Women's participation in leisure activities in this study’s population is lower than average. Multivariate linear regression results show that out of the three dimensions of cultural capital, two dimensions (objective structured and institutionalized cultural capital) have a significant effect on leisure.

This study aims to find the reasons for women’s failure to achieve more managerial positions despite the increasing number of women higher education graduates, and the effect of social capital on the promotion of female personnel.
The statistical sample includes the personnel of Sepah Bank and two different methods, qualitative and quantitative, were used to run the research. A probabilistic and stratified sampling method was used for the quantitative part while a purposive counterpart was used in the qualitative part.
Quantitative measurements take advantage of questionnaires and SPSS to gather necessary data and analyze them in descriptive terms. The qualitative part, however, utilizes techniques of observation and semi-structured interviews.
The findings reveal that women with higher socio-economic status enjoy a greater job promotion opportunity but it does not show any difference between the two types of women in terms of marital status, number of children and religious tendencies. It shows that women with high ranking managerial positions have a far greater amount and the structure of social capital -namely social participation, relations and trust - than other working women.
Data analysis reveals that men and women differ in terms of the amount and type of the relations which they make and also supports that discriminations between men and women regarding their access to the important and strategic positions and resources prevent women from attaining most high level and strategic jobs.

Nowadays it is believed that social capital has influential role both in decreasing expenses of activities and people's success in attaining their aims. Social capital is one of the theories that explain social pathology by combining criminology theories with micro and macro level discussions about social structures and networks.
This study empirically investigates the relationship between family social capital and youth delinquency by utilizing Coleman’s family social capital theory and Hirschie's social bonding theory. In order to investigate that relationship a sample population consisting of 410 third grade high school students studying during the year 1386-1387 in Sanandaj city is used.
This study is a survey study and students answer the question in a self-report manner. Results of regression analysis based on gender of respondents indicate that inter-family cognitive social capital has the greatest power of explaining boy's delinquency meanwhile inter-family structural social capital has the greatest power of explaining girl's delinquency.
