Küreselleşme Yaşam Tatminini Nasıl Açıklar?

Abstract

As being a multidimensional concept, globalization may influence nations positively or negatively. Although the relationship between life satisfaction and globalization has been investigated by several studies, the impact of globalization on satisfaction in different domains of life are under-researched. This study analyzes the impacts of individuals’ globalization assessment on their satisfaction in different domains of life. Data set is obtained from a survey conducted for individuals from different countries for the year 2014. The survey asks individuals about their opinions on globalization and life satisfaction. The effects of the assessment of globalization variables and socio-demographic factors are estimated via the partial proportional odds model for each satisfaction variable. Results show that individuals who internalize the positive sides of globalization are more likely to be highly satisfied in different areas in their life. Consequently, how people perceive globalization helps to explain their satisfaction in different domains of life. Results also reveal some potential demographic outcomes for satisfaction in different domains of life and most of those results are consistent with the literature.
