Introduction: The need to have a safe relationship with other people is something substantial. On the basis of the fact that human beings have various lingual, ethnical, cultural, social as well as economical differences, social leniency is supposed to be the only way to provide a sound relationship without existence of any type of quarrel among people. The significance of attention to such a concept, as a topic of research, can be demonstrated with consideration of Iran’s historical diversity and its engagement in the process of modernization as well.

 

Method: while the review of previous related researches has been performed through documentary method, the needed data was achieved via distribution of 406 questionnaires among people above 18 living in Isfahan.

 

Findings: social Tolerance is not equal to state of being indifference nor is it the acceptance of opponent ideas due to inability or being under any external force. In contrast to what stated above, Tolerance will become meaningful through one’s rejection of applying changes or making objections in the condition of facing with an opposite standpoint without showing any attempt of nullification of opponent ideas or viewpoints.

 

Discussion: peoples’ social leniency, with its large conceptual scope, is deeply affected by various variables such as the learning based upon family socialization as well as different types of awareness emerging from cultural relations.

Introduction: Today, social tolerance is a necessary precondition for living in higher population densities with different types of cultural behavior. The purpose of this study was to measure social tolerance and its social related factors in Bandar Abbas.
Method: The research method was survey and the questionnaire was used to collect the data. The statistical population of this study included people aged 18 and over living in Bandar Abbas. According to Morgan table, there were 384 people, which was increased to 400 people as a precaution in returning the questionnaires. The samples were selected through stratified and simple random sampling. SPSS24 and Amos Graphic software were used to analyze the data.
Findings: The results showed that there is no significant relationship between the variables of gender, age, income, and education with the variable of social tolerance, but there is a significant relationship between marital status and tolerance. The results of structural equations showed that the model of the relations of the mentioned variables has an acceptable fit.
Discussion: If tolerance gives way to violence and aggression, the greatest damage will be done to the collective life of individuals and a normal society. In achieving tolerance and its very positive and necessary effects, many components such as, appropriate socialization, sense of belonging to the place of residence and the people living there, the degree of religiosity and also the role of socio-economic status of individuals are very decisive and tangible.
