Trust is one of the effective cases on the person’s health and providing this health for all kinds of people is one of the basic issues in any society. On the other hand, teachers’ personality as well as their mental and psychological balance are more important than those of the other kinds of people in the society. The present study is an applied and cross-sectional research done by using a survey among different Tiranian teachers in different schools (elementary, guidance and secondary) in 2011.There were 240 people participating in this research. Because of the scattering of research people in various areas, we used multi-stage cluster samples to determine the volume. Also the data were collected by using questionnaires and analyzed by using Lisrel and SPSS softwares. The findings indicated that there was no significant difference between women and men, married and single people and teachers’ mental health rate. On the other hand, there was a direct significant relationship between mental health and various dimensions of social trust. In other words, the more social trust, the more mental and psychological health. These findings are in agreement whit the ideas such thinkers as Putnam, Wilkinson, and Kavachy.

The idea of social capital is a continuation of Karl Marx theory on the concept of economic capital. Development of theories about human capital, cultural capital and social capital has brought new aspects to the concept of capital. This paper is looking at the historical context in which social capital as a theory was found and its framework was shaped and also how it has been developed theoretically throughout the course of history. This research is mainly based on historical method, and is specifically looking at the history of ideas. The outcome of research showed that the theory of social capital was found as a result of concentration on the value of relationships and connections in a social group. Afterwards, it led to the discovery of some kind of collective capital and its position in certain social relationships. Finally, the new concept of social capital was developed as a combination of Social Relations Theory, effective social norms and social trust. Moreover, the emergence of cognitive theories and different cognitive narrations of social capital developed a new point of view in the Theory of Social Capital.

Bread is an important and influential element in our Iranian culture of nutrition and lifestyle. This study addresses the sociological explanation of the consumption of this essential commodity among the citizens of Tehran. The statistical population consists of all the citizens of Tehran living in areas 3, 7 and 19. 184 people were questioned and data were collected through a questionnaire. Data analysis method is Structural equation modeling that has been one of the few multivariate methods. Data collected has been analyzed through the Amos software. Accordingly, a theoretical model is estimated in which economic, cultural and social capital (social trust) forms external and independent variables, and the bread consumption variable is also included as an internal variable dependent on the model. Also, the lifestyle variable plays the role of mediator variable in the model. The basis for the formation of this theoretical model has been Pierre Bourdieu. The findings show that, in general, experimental data supports theoretical model. That is, bread consumption can be explained within the framework of the model. Among the different hypotheses of the hypothesis that have shown the relationship of lifestyle and social trust with the consumption of bread have been confirmed. Other variables are directly related to the consumption of bread, but this relationship is weak and therefore their related hypotheses are not statistically valid. Of course, two variables of cultural capital and economic capital have a significant relationship with the variable of lifestyle. This could mean their indirect impact on the bread consumption variable

The core concept of this article i.e. social capital consists of three main components: scope of social relations, level of social trust, and rate of reciprocity. The research is accomplished through 600 cases of Indian and Iranian female secondary school students and their parents, in two cities of Chandigarh in India and Tehran in Iran. Findings of the research show that the scope of social relations in India is higher than Iran, while the true level which was measured in the social network in Iran was far higher than India. Even the third aspect i.e. the reciprocity is also higher in Iran than India. Therefore, the social capital measured among the Iranian cases is higher than the Indian students and their families. Likewise, the level of trust estimated among Indian people is higher than the true level of trust present in the social network whereas; an exact opposite situation could be seen in Iran. In other words, the different aspects of social capital do not necessarily have a high co-variation among themselves.
