Abstract


Genelleştirilmiş güven, insanların
genelinin, iyi niyetli oldukları iyimserliği ve inancı ile alakalı kültürel bir
eğilimdir. Araştırmalar, genelleştirilmiş güven seviyesi yüksek toplumlarda
vatandaşların iş birliğine daha açık olduğunu ve siyasal ve toplumsal hayata
daha aktif katıldıklarını göstermektedir. Türkiye, genelleştirilmiş güven
seviyesi düşük ülkelerden bir tanesidir. Türkiye’de, her yüz kişiden, ortalama,
sadece on tanesi genel olarak insanlara güvendiğini belirtir. Bu çalışmanın
amacı, genelleştirilmiş güven kavramının modernleşme ile ilişkisini ayrıntılı
şekilde tartışmak ve Türkiye vaka çalışmasını, bu kavramsal çerçeve içerisinde incelemektedir.
Çalışmanın ampirik analizi için Dünya Değerler Araştırması’nın (DDA) 2012
Türkiye verisi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma bulguları, kurumsallaşmış demokrasilerde
genelleştirilmiş güven üzerine yapılan ampirik analizlerin öne çıkardığı
bireysellik ve özgür irade ile ilişkilendirilen bir dizi değişkenin,
modernleşme süreci farklı olsa da, Türkiye örneği için de geçerli olduğunu
göstermiştir. Bulgular, ayrıca, literatürün, siyasi kurumlara güven ve
genelleştirilmiş güven arasında kurduğu ilişkiyi doğrular. Bu bulguların yanı
sıra, çalışma, Türkiye’nin coğrafi bölgeleri arasında, genelleştirilmiş güven
seviyelerinde gözlenen farklara da dikkat çekmektedir.

“Do you think most people can be trusted?” An Empirical Analysis on Generalized Trust in Turkey

Abstract

Generalized
trust is a cultural attitude about the general optimism and faith in the good
will of people at large. Studies show that citizens are more open to cooperation,
and they are more active in political and social life in high trust societies.
Generalized trust is low in Turkey. Only ten people out of a hundred, on average,
think that most people can be trusted. The objective of the present study is to
discuss the relationship between modernization and generalized trust in detail
and to analyze Turkey as a case study within this conceptual framework. The
study utilizes World Valued Survey (WWS) 2012 Turkey data for the analysis. In
line with the empirical analyses conducted mostly across institutionalized
democracies on generalized trust, the present study shows the relevance of
individuality and personal autonomy for the Turkish case as well, which has had
a different modernization trajectory. The study also provides insights into the
relationship between confidence in political institutions and generalized trust.
Last but not the least, findings show significant differences in generalized
trust levels across Turkey’s regions.
