This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the culture of poverty in Kermanshah women. This survey study was conducted in Kermanshah city in 2019, and its statistical population included all women aged 15 to 59, of which 384 were selected as a sample and studied. Questionnaires were used to examine the status of social and economic capital and the culture of poverty. SPSS and AMOS software were used for data analysis. The results showed that the average score of culture of poverty among women whose husbands had died was 3.50, which was higher than single people with an average of 2.60. Also, the average score of the culture of poverty among the age groups over 51 years old was higher than the age group 15 to 24 years old. In addition, the culture of poverty among illiterate people (3.34) was more than other educational classes. The results also showed that the score of culture of poverty (3) was higher among those who have a low socio-economic base compared to other classes. The findings of this study also showed that social capitals and economic capitals could explain 28% and 26% of the variance of poverty culture, respectively. Therefore, economic and social capitals have a negative effect on the culture of poverty, and their improvement and increase should always be considered.
