Objective: The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of sociological factors (including age, gender, cultural capital and economic capital) on the reading habits of undergraduate students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. Methods: The current research is a descriptive-correlation survey. The research population is the undergraduate students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz in the academic year 1401-1402, whose number is estimated to be 7495. According to the table of Karjesi and Morgan, the sample size of the research is 384 people. Also, the proportional stratified sampling method was used to select the subjects. The research tools are Bourdieu's cultural capital questionnaire, economic capital questionnaire and Abdul Karim and Hassan's reading habit questionnaire. In order to analyze the data from S. P. S. S. Version 25 and Pearson's correlation coefficient, Spearman's correlation coefficient, and two-string point tests were used. Results: The research findings have shown that except for age, other research variables including gender, cultural capital and economic capital affect the components of reading habit and have a positive and significant relationship with each other. Conclusions: This study proved that sociological factors such as gender, cultural capital and economic capital have an effect on students' reading habits. As a result, in order to develop the habit of reading in students, first of all, in addition to paying attention to gender, we should pay attention to students cultural and economic conditions, such as allocating a part of the income to buy cultural tools, the family's attitude towards reading, and educational methods in order to be able to achieve one of the important tasks in reforming educational programs with the aim of strengthening students' skills in a suitable cultural and economic situation by developing the habit of reading.
