    In this paper, drawing on Coleman's concept of social capital and Bourdieu's concept of cultural capital, the effects of different components of family social and cultural capital (i.e. family expectations of student's academic aspirations, family involvement in student's academic activities,…) on academic achievement of high school students were studied.Using a questionnaire, data were gathered on the academic performance of393 students who were selected (on the basis of cluster sampling) from different boys and girls high schools in the city of Isfahan in the academic year of 1385-86 (2006-7).Research findings showed that the coefficient of direct effect of capital (which included social and cultural capital) on academic achievement was 0.43 andthat its difference from zero was statistically significant. Therefore, the major hypothesis of the study that family social and cultural capitals have a positive influence of academic performance was supported.

These respondents had been chosen as the final sample and filled out prepared questionnaires.Statistical methods included one way ANOVA, Multiple regression and Path analysis. In order to measure the path coefficient, such as total casual effects, indirect effects, standard path coefficients and multiple correlation coefficients for structural equations, we used the Lisrel Method.

    Today, one of the most important functions of universities is to create knowledge in order to fulfill the needs of the society and promote the status of knowledge and the quality of instruction through it. Generally, it can be said that intellectuality is the most important and the most valuable property of educational centers such as universities and is the main key to development. Naturally, for the materialization of knowledge creationin universities as one the most important issues of the third millennium, there are different factors at work and among these factors, institutional culture and its effects on knowledge creation have been investigated in this study. The population of this study included all the faculty members of the University of Isfahan (476 cases) of whom 142 cases were selected based on Cochran formula. A questionnaire was used for datacollection and the method employed in this study was survey. For analyzing data and testing the hypotheses, both descriptive statistics (Percentage, frequency, mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson r and regression) were used. The findings reveal that institutional culture has effects on the amount of knowledge creation of the faculty members and among the variables, "orientation towards socialbehavior" which is one of the dimensions of institutional culture, has had the most effects on knowledge creation. Accordingly, revised coefficient of determination reveals that 20% of the variance of the dependent variable (knowledge creation) has been due to variables functioning on regression model. The rest of the variance is due to other variables not investigated in this study.

The abstract and mental feelings of the members of the society and their perception of inequality are more important than the concrete and objective inequality and the important condition for itsemergence is social comparison which brings relative deprivation and the feeling of inequality. This research aims to analyze the amount of social inequality and the feeling of inequality as well as the factors affecting them. The present paper is a survey (with regard to controlling the conditions of the research) and also is an explanatory study. The research population includes all citizens of Isfahan who are 15 years old or above atthe time of the research and the sample includes 696 cases. The data was collected using a questionnaire. For data analysis, multi- variable regression and structural equations modeling were used. The results indicate that the coefficient of determination for social inequalities is R=.61.In addition, based on β value, luxurity, need satisfaction, age, religion, rationality, propaganda and generalized trust affected social inequalityrespectively.
