Meta-analysis of studies on the relationship cultural capital and social tolerance (with an emphasis on age category moderator variables)

Abstract

Cultural capital includes the individual's enduring inclinations, tendencies, and habits that are acquired during the socialization process And social tolerance also refers to a situation in which individuals and groups, in relation to a situation, event, or phenomenon that they find highly distasteful Or they are indifferent to it, they deal with self-control and tolerance. The research method of this research is meta-analysis. In the first step of evaluating the selected researches, the assumptions of homogeneity and publication error were examined. The findings indicated the heterogeneity of the effect size and the lack of bias in the publication of the studied studies. In the second stage, the effect size coefficient and the moderating role of the age variable were evaluated using the second version of CMA software. Statistical calculations indicate that the average size of the effect of cultural capital (random combination effects) on social tolerance in the studies under study is equal to 0.195 and since the estimated size is in the range of confidence, It can be acknowledged that cultural capital affects social tolerance. According to the interpretation system of the effect size due to the meta-analysis known as Cohen model, the effect size obtained from the present study is at a low to medium level. Another noteworthy finding of the present study is that the size of the youth effect in the random model is larger than other age groups. In other words, youth cultural capital has a greater impact on social tolerance.
