Abstract

     This article aims to explain the relationship between social responsibility and social capital of the young with the age range of 18 to 29 in the Shiraz city. Development of social responsibility and commitment are important subjects which are considered more than cognitive subjects by scholars (Fathi Azar, 1373:180). Social responsibility is a part of socialization process. The most important factors which have major roles in socialization are culture, family and social institutions. Social responsibility is a skill of doing behavior which is evaluated by people. These skills can make positive and successfully results and lead to personal and group’s satisfaction. Otherwise, the lake of social responsibility results to less confidence and cooperation. In this article the researchers used survey method and questionnaire to collect the data. Sample size is 386 young which were selected randomly. The result of multiple regression showed the effects of the variables are as follows: social capital (beta=0.27), self esteem (beta=0. 27), age (beta=0. 21) and gender (beta=0. 22) have significant and positive relations with social responsibility. These variables explain 20 percent of the variation of social responsibility (R2=0.20). In path analysis model, maximum direct effect belongs to social capital and maximum indirect effect belongs to mother’s education.
