This study has investigated the effects of social factors on tendency towards
democracy. Data for this analysis were collected from a sample of 643 citizens
of Tehran aged 20 years and older. The theoretical framework was formulated
using theories of Bourdiou, Inglehart, Habermas and Giddens. Social factors
included social class, cultural capital, media usage, and religiosity. Descriptive
findings reveal that majority of the Tehrani citizens have low tendency towards
democracy. Only 4 percent of them have high level of tendency towards
democracy. These citizens were more democratic in their attitudes than in their
conducts. Explanatory findings show that there is significant relation among
various dimensions of social class (i.e., cultural capital, economic capital and
social status) with the tendency towards democracy. In addition, there is also
significant correlation between cultural factors (i.e., social tolerance, social
participation, democratic attitudes towards family) with the tendency towards
democracy. Findings demonstrated that cultural capital was the most significant
predictor of the dependent variable
