Abstract

The place of religion is reserved in all societies. Global developments, modernization, communication media and its effects in Iran have caused cultural changes and new values, and this has created religious pluralism among students. The purpose of this research was to understand and investigate the relationship between each of the dimensions of cultural capital and the types and dimensions of religiosity of the second­ high school male students of Shahrud city. The current research was conducted using a sequential exploratory mixed method (qualitative and quantitative) in the qualitative part, using Bourdieu's conceptual framework and data-based method (systematic version), using purposeful sampling (snowball), through interviews with 20 people, and in the quantitative part, a survey of 386 people out of 4450 people of the statistical population was done with a semi-structured researcher questionnaire. The participants in this research were students, parents, teachers, executive officers of schools in Shahrud city, data analysis in quantitative and qualitative section, extraction and analysis of descriptive and inferential statistics with maxqda software. Spss26 & pls, done. Also, to estimate the validity and reliability of quantitative and qualitative research, (Guba and Lincoln, 1982) criteria, construct validity, divergent and convergent validity, as well as composite reliability have been used. It includes 20 selected categories, including the field of human capital and religious modernity of a generation, which is extracted from interviews and in the form of a paradigmatic model. The central phenomenon is the change and multiplicity of the religious matter of second-secondary male students, and it has 11 hypothetical propositions that are obtained from the relationships between variables. Such as this proposition: the relationship between cultural capital and religiosity of students. The analysis of the paradigm model shows that the social construction and the special conditions of the cultural capitals have created a problematic situation in the transformation of the students' religious affairs. Also, the results of the analysis of hypothetical propositions confirm that the family has an effect on the students' cultural capital, and teachers and schools with their cultural capitals are effective on the students' religious pluralism.
