A Study of Cultural Intelligence among Students of IAU at the East of Mazandaran University

Social trust is an indicator of social advantage (capital) and its growth and decline can put dramatic impacts on the societal structures and bonds. This is why the issue has attracted many of the prominent sociologists in the recent decades. The main purpose of the present study is to size up the level of social trust among the youth in Tehran and explain how different dimensions of social trust interact with each other. To this effect، a review of the theoretical bases and empirical references was obtained and a conceptual، integrated framework was proposed as the research hypotheses to be tested. The sample size was 402 over age of 15-year-old Tehran youth who were randomly selected according to the stretch index of the city''s 22-district regions from districts 3 (high)، 8 (middle) and 17 (low) based on multistage cluster sampling. This is an experimental survey and to test the research hypotheses، Pearson test was employed while for assessment of the relations between the variables، a multiple regression was used too. The results showed that there is a significant relationship among social trust dimensions and the level of this relationship is so high.
