Also, from the questionnaire and simple and multiple regression tests, t-test, variance analysis and the introduction of the PLS structural equation, respectively, were used in SPSS24 and SMART PLS3 software respectively. The information required by 1920 was collected above 18 years in the county of ahwaz, abadan, dezful, mahshahr and andimeshek in a multi- category sampling method. In order to ensure the suitability of the data, the CR criterion and the KMO test were used. The findings indicated that the degree of political leaning in all age groups is equal and the political bias is greater than the males, except for the Principle spectrum among women. Citizens in terms of the SES index had the highest political leaning. Also the location of citizens in their attitude toward the Principle spectrum did not have a significant effect. In the continuation of social capital in all dimensions, there is a tendency toward reformer political leaning and Principle relation, but this relation was not confirmed in the political leaning of moderates.
