Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı öznel iyi oluş bileşenleri olan mutluluk ve yaşam doyumunun gelir başta olmak
üzere çeşitli ekonomik sosyal ve demografik değişkenlerden nasıl etkilendiğini incelemektir. Çalışmada anket
yöntemi kullanılmış ve anket yöntemiyle elde edilen veriler sıralı probit (ordered probit) tahmin yöntemiyle
tahmin edilmiştir. Çalışmaya ait en önemli bulgularından biri mutluluk ve yaşam doyumunun gelirden farklı
şekilde etkilenmeleridir. Gelir seviyesinde meydana gelen artış kişinin mutlu olma olasılığı üzerinde istatistiki
olarak anlamlı değilken kişinin daha yüksek bir yaşam doyumu seviyesine sahip olma olasılığı üzerinde
istatistiki olarak anlamlıdır. Ayrıca çalışmadan elde edilen diğer önemli bulgular ise kişinin mutlak gelirini
değil göreli gelirini önemsemesi ve kişinin sahip olduğu gelir arttıkça daha çok gelir elde etmek istemesidir.

The main goal of this study is to examine the relationship between the components of subjective well being (which are happiness and life satisfaction), income and some other socio-demographic factors. In this paper, questionnaire method is used as a data collection tool. The data set is analyzed by the ordered probit estimation method. One of the most important findings of this study is that happiness and life satisfaction are affected by income in a different way. An increase in income level does not have a statistically significant effect on happiness, however it has a statistically significant effect on life satisfaction. We also find that relative income is more valuable than the absolute income for people and their income aspiration level increases with an increase in income level.
