The purpose of the study is to understand the nature of the relationship between family climate and tolerance among the students of Al-Azhar University in Gaza, as well as the impact of demographic variables (type of citizenship, organizational affiliation, socio-economic status, gender, school level) on the family climate and tolerance. To achieve the objectives of the study, this study assumed eleven hypotheses. To investigate these hypotheses, a sample was chosen from the students of the Faculty of Education at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. The number of its students reached 886 students, 223 of them males and 663 females. The researcher used two measures, the first of which was prepared by the researcher, the measure of intellectual and social tolerance. The number of paragraphs was 69 paragraphs, divided into five dimensions / sub dimensions. The other measure is the family climate measure. (Prepared by: Sufian Abu Najila: 2013). In this study, the researcher used several statistical methods in order to verify the hypotheses. The correlation coefficients, multiple linear regression analysis in a regressive manner, and factor analysis, and one way Anova were used T test. The results of the research and its conclusion are: The relationship between family climate and tolerance is limited and weak, as shown by the results of correlation coefficients in the first three hypotheses. The effect of the family climate on tolerance is also weak and has no high impact on tolerance, as demonstrated by the results of the linear regression analysis in a regressive manner, with 14.4% participation in the level of tolerance. The results of the global analysis resulted in the extraction of only two independent factors responsible for most of the common global disparity, and the common or even bipolar factor of the family climate and tolerance did not emerge. What the results of the empirical analysis can add is that the family climate has nothing to do with tolerance. The results of the test showed that there were statistically significant differences in the majority of dimensions of the family climate scale between females and males. The differences were in the direction of females, while the results did not show any significant differences between the sexes in relation to tolerance scale and dimensions. The results of the tests to detect the differences between citizens and refugees showed no significant differences between the two groups for the family climate measure, while there were statistically significant differences in the scale of tolerance and its five dimensions and differences in the direction of refugees. The results of a test to detect differences between members of party and party organizations and movements showed significant differences in four dimensions of the family climate. Differences were found in the direction of non-belonging. For the tolerance scale, the results showed that there was a statistically significant difference after party or organizational tolerance, and came the difference in the direction of belonging. The results of one way Anova analysis showed statistically significant differences in educational level On the overall score of the tolerance scale, and three dimensions and the differences were in favor of first level students. Finally, the results of one way Anova analysis also showed statistically significant differences according to the socio-economic status of the sample members, in the total degree of family climate, after the relationship between the parents, and after the physical and material possibilities. The same result is found in the measure of tolerance. The results revealed differences in three dimensions: organizational party tolerance, intellectual tolerance, and social tolerance, there are differences in the direction of high status.
