Abstract :
This research has been conducted to examine social solidarity and its role in family intergroup solidarity in developing countries, with a focus on a case study of Tehran city. Based on the previous findings and an examination of related theories in this field, the theoretical foundations of institutionalism, systems and new institutionalism approaches have been chosen as the theoretical framework of the research. This is a quantitative survey research, with a statistical population of families living in Tehran in 2016 and a sample size of 598 people. The study has used "cluster and probability sampling". All required data for this research have been collected with a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, one dimensional and two dimensional and inferential tables in SPSS. In order to measure the validity and reliability of the collected data, Cronbach's alpha has been drawn upon. In addition, the face validity has been obtained by researchers and experts' judgments. According to the results, the main hypothesis of the research was confirmed, meaning that there is a weak but positive significant correlation between social solidarity and family intergroup solidarity. Of the secondary hypotheses, those proposing a relationship between the variables of age, marriage type and race with social solidarity were accepted and those suggesting a relationship between the variables of education level, employment status and length of residency in Tehran with social solidarity were not proved.
