The present study examines the causes and contexts of this tendency among different groups of citizens in Tehran by using the factors mentioned in various theoretical approaches. To achieve this goal, 23 semi-structured interviews were first conducted with New Spiritualists. Then, according to the results of the interviews, a questionnaire was designed and distributed among 600 citizens of Tehran. Sampling was done purposefully in the qualitative section and randomly from the blocks of Tehran in the quantitative section. The interviews were analyzed by the thematic analysis method, and the quantitative data were processed through the SPSS software and various tests such as Pearson correlation and linear regression.

People’s orientation towards meeting their own needs and achieving their personal and private goals, without considering other people, is called egocentrism and individualism. Selfish individualism is a type of individualism in which the person’s personal gain is put as the top priority, and individuals are only seeking to reach their own goals. The purpose of this study is to examine the level of selfish individualism among different social classes and its related factors. For this purpose, the students of Shiraz University were chosen as the statistical population. The study was conducted through stratified sampling, and through a survey using a questionnaire, the study was conducted with a sample comprised of 387 people. The independent variables of the research were derived from Durkheim, Putnam, and Bourdieu’s theories and also from a combination of Habermas, Weber, and Weblen’s theories. Durkheim’s Religiosity, Putnam’s Social Capital, Bourdieu’s Institutionalized Cultural Capital of the family, and a combined theory of Class from Habermas, Weber and Weblen were used. There was a negative and significant relationship between religiosity and selfish individualism, and the hypothesis was confirmed. However, there was not a significant relationship between selfish individualism and the three variables of social capital, institutionalized cultural capital of the family and class, and the three remaining hypotheses were dismissed. Findings regarding background variables showed that there was not a significant relationship between gender and selfish individualism, however, there was a significant and positive relationship between age and selfish individualism.

Political trust addresses the relation between people and state. Researches say political trust has had a declining trend in Iran since the victory of the revolution. Religion is among the factors which affect political trust, and has been emphasized in the theories of the classical and contemporary sociologists and social capital theorists. This fact is more considerable in Iran where a religious government is in power and religion clearly and apparently intervenes with politics. Guidens describes the impact of religion on the political trust as one of the characteristics of the traditional societies and points to the religious commitments of the authorities in the traditional societies as well as function of the access point, basic trust, and govenment's endeavor to provide social-economic welfare for the people as other factors which affect the political trust. In order to investigate the political trust in three domains of trust in the political system, political institutions and political actors through a survey method, information was collected from 630 over-20-year individuals in Tehran which had been selected by the quota sampling method. Results of the research showed that people trust in the politica system more than institutions and actors. The extent of the religiosity of the respondents as well as their basic trust. satisfaction with function of the access point, interpretation of the extent of religious commitments of the authorities and also state's endeavor to pro' tde social-economic welfare for the people affect the pointerpretation of the respondents of the state's endeavor to provide social-economic welfare for the peoplelitical trust.
