Abstract

Numerous studies have been conducted on social tolerance. One of the most important variables related to social tolerance is social trust. The meta-analysis method has been used to combine and analyze the results of research on social trust and social tolerance systematically. The statistical population of this study consists of all papers and master's theses in Iran in the field of studying the relationship between social trust and social tolerance from 2008 to the end of 2018. A total of 15 studies were found that for sampling. Seven studies that had the conditions and selection criteria such as having a correlation coefficient between the two aforementioned variables, the level of significance and the specificity of the sample size were selected as the final selection. First, non-diffusion bias and effect size heterogeneity were confirmed. Then the sensitivity of the effect size and the effect size coefficient and the moderating role of the statistical population were investigated using CMA software. Findings indicate an effect coefficient of. /296 for social trust on social tolerance. Also, considering the moderating variable of the statistical population, this coefficient among young people in the age range of 15 to 29 years, /155, among people in the age range of 18 to 70, /348, which is significant in both groups. That is, the social trust of groups in the age group of 18 to 70 years affects social tolerance more than the age groups of 15 to 29 years. Overall, the results show that social trust as an independent variable has a moderate effect on social tolerance as a dependent variable; However, it is more common among people in the age range of 18 to 70 years.
