The objectified state includes the investment in hardware equipment and software books. The institutionalized state is referred to academic background of both parents. There are 585 elementary students participating in this study. According to the results of the data analysis, the research findings are as follows: 1. There are significant differences in cultural capital for personal and family backgrounds of students.
