Abstract

This study was attempted in order to measure the level of Korean people’s social capital and their multicultural acceptance, and to explain the relationship between the sub‐factors of social capital(trust, reciprocity, and participation) and the multicultural acceptance. Furthermore, this study aimed to examine the relative influence of the sub‐factors of social capital on the multicultural acceptance and to suggest which social capitals should be reinforced. Data on ‘social capital’ and ‘multicultural acceptance’ used in this study were obtained from the data of the 8th Korean General Social Survey (KGSS) in 2010.
