This study aims to determine the factors affecting life satisfaction in Turkey. The life satisfaction scale of Diener et al. (1985) was used (N=557) in the study. In addition to traditional determinants of life satisfaction such as income, gender, marital status, age, education level, credit debt variable was included in the survey questions. The results of the analysis showed that working status, higher education level, high income level, and the possibility of making savings increase life satisfaction. On the other hand, no significant difference was found among the respondents in terms of life satisfaction by gender, marital status, child ownership, age, and the region of residence. Ordinal logistic regression analysis applied to individuals with credit debt also revealed the credit indebtedness as an important determinant of life satisfaction in Turkey. |
