Abstract

Bu çalışmanın temel
amacı Adana’da yaşayan bireylerin yalnızlık hissine etki eden en önemli
değişkenleri araştırmaktır. 2019 Ocak-Şubat aylarında yüz yüze yapılan basit rassal
örnekleme ile belirlenen, Adana’da yaşayan 980 yetişkine; ekonomik, demografik,
psikolojik, sosyolojik durumlarını ortaya çıkaracak 70 soruluk “Yaşam Kalite
Analiz Anketi” uygulanmıştır. Açıklayıcı değişkenler içerisinde gelir, fiziksel
yetersizlik, umutsuzluk, parasal problem ve insana güvenin yalnızlık hissini
anlamlı derecede etkilemesi beklenmektedir. Bağımlı değişken olan “yalnızlık
hissi” iki değer alan kategorik bir değişken olması nedeni ile uygun
ekonometrik model ikili lojistik regresyon modeli olarak belirlenmiştir.
İncelemede ekonomik, demografik, psikolojik, sosyolojik durumu gösteren ve
yalnızlık hissini etkilediği düşünülen tüm değişkenler kullanılarak çok sayıda
model oluşturulmuş ve en anlamlı bulunan değişkenler üzerinden ikili lojisitk
regresyon modeli oluşturulup yorumlanmıştır. Stata 14.2 programı yardımı ile
marjinal etkiler hesaplanarak incelenen değişkenlerin yalnızlık hissi
üzerindeki etki seviyeleri açıklanmıştır. Analiz sonucunda: 1) Gelir ve
fiziksel yetersizlik yalnızlık hissini açıklamada en anlamlı değişkenler olarak
elde edilmiştir 2) Demografik değişkenlerden; yaş, cinsiyet ve gelir; yalnızlık
hissi üzerine etkisi olan değişkenler olarak belirlenmiştir 3) Sosyal sermaye
değişkenleri içinden arkadaş ve aile bireyleri ile görüşme sıklığından çok
insana güven düzeyi yalnızlık hissini açıklamada daha etkili değişken olarak
bulunmuştur.

The Effect of Physical Disability, Hopelessness, Monetary Problem and Social Capital on the Feeling of Loneliness

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the
most important variables that affect the loneliness of individuals living in
Adana. In January-February 2019, a 70-question Life Quality Analysis Survey
conducted by simple random sampling to reveal economic, demographic,
psychological and sociological status was applied to 980 adults living in
Adana. Among the explanatory variables, income, physical disability,
hopelessness, financial problems and trust in human beings are expected to
significantly affect the feeling of loneliness. As the dependent variable
“loneliness” is a categorical variable with two values, the appropriate
econometric model is determined as Binary Logistic Regression Model. In the
investigation, a large number of models were formed by using all variables
showing economic, demographic, psychological, sociological status and thought
to affect the feeling of loneliness, and a binary logistic regression model was
created and interpreted on the most significant variables. With the help of
Stata 14.2 program, marginal effects were calculated and the effect levels of
the variables on loneliness were explained. As a result of the analysis: 1)
Income and physical disability were obtained as the most significant variables
explaining the feeling of loneliness; 2) Demographic variables such as age,
gender and income have an effect on the feeling of loneliness; 3) Among social
capital variables, the level of trust in people rather than the frequency of
seeing friends and family members was found to be more effective in explaining
the feeling of loneliness.
