Nowadays, the level of individual access to social capital and the
status of the individual within various social networks define how much
s/he enjoys the quality of ideal life. Accordingly, this study tries to
examine the relationship between social capital and quality of life
among retirees. Primarily, such a relationship was studied in a survey-type
research. Therefore, Lipad Elderly Quality of Life Questionnaire was
used for this descriptive-analytical research. A number of 228 retirees
of the University of Tabriz were selected as samples through random
sampling method. Data analysis was made using SPSS statistical software
in addition to the application of Pearson correlation test and linear
regression. The research findings showed a significant positive relationship
between social capital and the quality of life among the retirees. In the
men time, the regression analysis demonstrated that the dimensions of
social capital, i.e. social cohesion, social participation and social trust,
could explain 32% of the variance in the quality of life (dependent
variable). Consequently, social capital and its components are good
predictors for the quality of life among University of Tabriz retirees
