Abstract
The purpose of study is to identify the extent and manner of co-culture (social values and norms and behavioral patterns) of graduates of Islamic schools and other schools (governmental and non-governmental) in Tehran and the impact of media and school factors on it. The method of this research is survey; A researcher-made online questionnaire was used to collect data. The statistical population of the study included all students of Islamic schools and other schools in Tehran who have graduated from high school and vocational school in the last three years (80,000 people) with 385 graduates of Islamic schools and 384 of total 769 graduates from other schools in Tehran were tested. The validity of the research was calculated and confirmed by formal methods of experts and the validity of the structure was confirmed by the factor analysis method and by AMOS software; Cronbach's alpha of the variables was estimated to be more than 0.9, which indicates the high reliability of the research. The results of the research using t-test with SPSS software show that the graduates of Islamic schools are more cultural than the graduates of other schools in Tehran (similarity in values and social norms and behavioral patterns). Explanatory findings of the research in the form of structural equation model with the help of AMOS software indicated that the factors of "school" and "mass media" have an effect on the co-culture of Islamic school graduates. The results of the regression analysis showed that the mentioned independent variables explain 47% of the variance of the dependent variable (co-cultural).
