Determining Socio-economic Status Variables through Cluster Analysis1

Öz:

Sosyo-ekonomik düzey (SED)'in tanımlanmasına ve hangi değişkenlerle daha iyi temsil edileceğine ilişkin alanyazında fikir birliğine varılamamıştır. Bazı çalışmalarda SED'in belirlenmesinde eğitim düzeyi, meslek ve gelir düzeyi gibi değişkenler, bazı çalışmalarda ise yalnızca ekonomik düzey kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen alanyazın bilgileri SED'in belirlenmesinde istatistiksel ve bilimsel dayanaklara ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı kümeleme analizini kullanarak araştırmacılara SED konusunda somut ölçütler oluşturmaktır. Çalışma, Ankara Üniversitesi ve Yıldırım Beyazıt Üniversitesi hazırlık sınıfı öğrencilerinden oluşan 594 kişilik gruptan toplanan veriler üzerinde yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda aylık gelir, annenin ve babanın eğitim düzeyi, anne-babanın sosyal etkinliğe katılma sıklığı ve bir yıl içinde eve alınan okuma kitabı sayısı değişkenleri açısından katılımcıların kendi içinde homojenlik yaratan; alt, orta ve üst olmalarına göre ise heterojenlik yaratan gruplara ayrıldıkları gözlenmiştir.

Öz:

In studies where socio-economic status (SES) is used as a variable; it is assumed that individuals show differences in SES based on their dependent variables. The purpose of this study is to provide concrete measures for researchers working on determining SES. In this study, cluster analysis was used to determine the variables affecting SES. Cluster analysis is a multivariate technique in which observations and variables are divided into groups according to their characteristics. A total of 594 preparatory class students from Ankara University and Yıldırım Beyazıt University participated in the study. The results of the cluster analyses with these five variables - family's average monthly income, mother's education level, father's education level, parents' frequency of participation in social activities and the total number of books purchased in a year - yielded that the participants among themselves showed homogeneity. Based on the literature review, the findings of this study are discussed by comparing them with other studies' results in determining SES.
