ABSTRACT

This study was attempted in order to measure the level of Korean people’s social capital and theirmulticultural 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 examinethe relative influence of the sub.factors of social capital on the multicultural acceptance and to suggestwhich social capitals should be reinforced. Data on ‘social capital’ and ‘multicultural acceptance’ used inthis study were obtained from the data of the 8th Korean General Social Survey (KGSS) in 2010. The results of analyses are as follows. First, social capital was lower with increase in age (F=28.18, p<.001),and higher with increase in academic qualification (F=15.49, p<.001), and total household income (F=8.85,p<.001). Second, the multicultural acceptance was higher in men (t=9.98, p<01) and lower with increase inage (F=27.29, p<.001), and higher with increase in academic qualification (F=28.99, p<.001), and totalhousehold income (F=11.92, p<.001). Third, among the three social capital factors influencing themulticultural acceptance, ‘trust’ was found to have a significant positive (+) effect. Based on these resultswere suggested various strategies for enhancing Korean people’s multicultural acceptance.
