Abstract
Dijitalleşme ile insanların hem yakınlaştığı hem de birbirinden uzaklaştığı bu dönemde yapılan araştırmalar insanların eskiye göre kendilerini yalnız hissettikleri yönünde olmuş ve bu durum akla şu soruyu getirmiştir. Yalnızlık durumunun tüketici alışveriş motivasyonu üzerine etkisi var mıdır? Bu sorudan yola çıkarak bu çalışmada yalnızlığın alışveriş motivasyonu üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden çevrimiçi anket tekniği ile yalnızlık ölçeği ve alışveriş motivasyonu ölçeği kullanılarak veriler toplanmıştır. Çalışmada 788 kişilik kullanılabilir örneklem elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde ise IBM SPSS paket programı kullanılmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi için ise IBM AMOS 26 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Önce ön testler için güvenilirlik ve faktör analizleri yapılmıştır. Demografik özelliklerin analizinde frekans analizi kullanılmıştır. Tüketici yalnızlığının tüketicinin alışveriş motivasyonu üzerindeki etkisini ölçerken basit doğrusal regresyon testlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Bu testin yapılabilmesi için ön koşul olan Kolerasyon analizi de yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda yalnızlık ile alışveriş motivasyonunun sosyalleşme ve başkalarını mutlu etme boyutu arasında anlamlı ve negatif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. İlişki testi sonucunda yapılan regresyon analizine göre ise model anlamlı bulunmuş ve yalnızlığın alışveriş motivasyonunun sosyalleşme ve başkalarını mutlu etme alt boyutunda etkisi olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
