In this paper, I statistically research the effects of diversity and intimacy in social relationships on tolerance toward foreigners. To verify these effects, data from the Japanese General Social Survey conducted in 2008 (JGSS-2008) was used for analysis. I hypothesized that having diverse relationships with other people would increase tolerance toward foreigners, based on studies on generalized intergroup contact effects and other studies related to tolerance. Furthermore, I hypothesized that having intimate relationships with other people would increase tolerance toward foreigners, based on studies on the need to belong and Fromm’s study about the psychological origins of fascism. The results revealed that diversity in occupations and diversity of group affiliations, which were used to determine diversity on social relationships, have positive effects on tolerance toward foreigners. It was also found that closeness of relationships with friends, and the degree of satisfaction in relationships with family members, which are used to determine intimacy, have positive relations with tolerance toward foreigners even if they are controlled by diverse factors in relationships.
