Methods: Library method and questionnaire will be used to collect information. The statistical population of this study includes all the staff and nurses of Guilan Health Network in the number of 594 people. The number of samples was 245 using Hooman method and stratified random sampling method was used to distribute the questionnaires. To test the research hypotheses and analyze the data, descriptive statistics, path analysis and structural equation modeling using SPSS and Amos software were used. Results The results show that there is a significant relationship between social skills and social health, ie with increasing the level of social skills, social health increases and vice versa. The coefficient of social skill and social health path coefficient was obtained in two cases higher (0.229) and lower than average (0.506) as well as probability value (0.002). Therefore, it can be concluded that by increasing social support from medium to high, the relationship between social skills and social health is reduced or adjusted, in which case social support has a moderating role in the relationship between social skills and social health. Conclusion: According to the findings, it was observed that according to grouping results, in two cases, higher and lower than average social support has a moderating effect on the relationship between social skills and social health.

The cultural capital represented in embodied, objectified and institutionalized forms. The children, particularly the girls who spent their more time with their mothers through identification process template their mothers’ behaviors and characteristics emerged from cultural enrichment.

The family has a very important role in providing opportunities for socialization and the formation of social skills in children, therefore, the purpose of this study was to explain the causal social skills of children based on economic capital with respect to the mediating role of family social capital. The research method is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population was the parents of elementary Public Schools students in Yazd in the academic year 2020-2021. 500 people were considered Sample size According to Klein (2015) based on selecting a sample size of 2.5 to 5 times the number of items, the sampling method was multi-stage clustering, of which 419 people completed the questionnaires. The research instruments included Garsham and Elliott (1990) Social Skills Questionnaire, Akbari Family Social Capital (2014) and a researcher-made economic capital questionnaire. SPSS software version 23 was used to analyze the data and AMOS software was used to perform structural equations. The findings showed that the direct effect of economic capital on social skills (p = 0.015; β = -0.25) is negatively significant and economic capital positively and directly predicts family social capital (p = 0.002; β = 0.55). Family social capital directly predicts children's social skills (p = 0.002; β = 0.67). Findings showed that the indirect effect of economic capital on children's social skills is significant through family social capital (p = 0.002; β = 0.37) and according to the variance accounted for index (VAF = 100%), this mediation role is complete. The calculated fit indices are in the acceptable range (NFI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.049). In the present research model, the coefficient of explanation of social skills (R2 = 0.33) and social capital (R2 = 0.30) Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that economic capital alone does not play a positive role in the social skills of children and this capital when combined with family social capital can lead to social skills in children.

Emotional intelligence may play a basic role in work environment (Mckee et al. 2002).Daniel Goleman (1998) defines emotional intelligence as self-awareness,self-managment,self-motivation,social-awareness and social-management. Given that social capital is linked to the relationships among individuals and emotional intelligence has a crucial impact on forming these relationships.This research has attempted examining the impact of the five dimensions of emotional intelligence as independent variables on social capital aspects(namely trust,communication networks,common goals,and language)as dependent variables among the researchers and managers of IRIB research center. this research is a descriptive survey in which the relationships among independent and dependent variables have been examined considering the data collected through questionnaires.Descriptive and inferential statistics have also been applied in order to conduct analysis and provide a model.the results show that there is a direct relationship between emotional intelligence and social capital.therefore,it is possible to increase the level of social capital in the organizations by considering emotional intelligence indicator at the beginning of recruitment and instructing it through the work.
