The higher the income of women in Tehran, the higher will the democratic political culture of women in Tehran be (r = 325%). The higher the level of education of women in the city, the higher will the democratic political culture of women in Tehran be (r = 503%). As women's employment level improves, so does the democratic political culture of women in Tehran (r = 382%).

As level of financial security increases, the democratic political culture of women in Tehran increases as well (r = 322%) and as moral security of the society increases, the democratic political culture of women in Tehran increases as well (r = 366%).
