In the multitude of different theoretical approaches, when we talk about the concept of social capital (Putnam, Borudieu, Coleman...), I cannot find a comprehensive and integrated, and yet not too long questionnaire. In the research I plan to conduct, I want to measure the social capital of the respondents' parents.
The idea of social capital has enjoyed a remarkable rise to prominence in both the theoretical and applied social science literature over the last decade. While lively debate has accompanied that journey, thereby helping to advance our thinking and to clarify areas of agreement and disagreement, much still remains to be done. One approach that we hope can help bring further advances for both scholars and practitioners is the provision of a set of empirical tools for measuring social capital. The Integrated Questionnaire for the Measurement of Social Capital (SC-IQ) - with a focus on applications in developing countries. The tool aims to generate quantitative data on various dimensions of social capital as part of a larger household survey (such as the Living Standards Measurement Survey or a household income/expenditure survey). Specifically, six dimensions are considered: groups and networks; trust and solidarity; collective action and cooperation; information and communication; social cohesion and inclusion; empowerment and political action

Social capital refers to the friendships and social networks that a person builds depending upon his active, moderate or passive social life
so questions can be as follows:
1. How many close friends do you have who can help you in times of need example when you are hospitalized, require to pay money to someone etc
2. Are your friends in touch with you regularly
3. Do you have joint investments in any business or purchase of lands etc.
4. How strong are your friends socially and economically etc
How ever social capital differs from person to person depending upon his upbringing school mates, college mates colleagues at office and of-course not to be forgotten is the main institution 'family'
