Summary. Social capital significantly influences rural women's entrepreneurship in Iran. The study surveyed 265 rural women entrepreneurs and found that three dimensions of social capital—structural, relational, and cognitive—positively predict key psychological traits including achievement motivation, innovation, personal control, self-esteem, opportunism, autonomy, and risk tolerance. This research demonstrates how specific social capital components shape entrepreneur psychology.
