Y ve Z Kuşağının Siyasal Tutum ve Davranışlarının Oy Verme Yaklaşımları Çerçevesinde Değerlendirilmesi Üzerine Bir Araştırma.

In political and social terms, the individual first steps into socialization within the family. In his/her later life, his/her social and political socialization is shaped as a result of his/her relations with his/her formal and informal environment. Another important element in shaping the identity of the individual in these areas is the concept of generation. Generations generally refer to individuals who are born in a certain period of time, who have similar experiences and who may have similar characteristics, attitudes or beliefs as a result. This study focuses on the factors affecting the political attitudes and behaviors of Generation Y and Generation Z individuals and their political interest level and political participation. This study aims to reveal what differences or similarities there are within the framework of "Psychological, Sociological and Rational" voting approaches, which are known as voting models in the literature, and it also aims to examine the relevant individuals comparatively in terms of their level of interest in political events or issues and their level of participation in the political field. For this purpose, field research was conducted with a total of 617 participants born between 1980-2004. In the research conducted using the survey technique between March 4, 2022 and March 31, 2022, it is seen that there are differences in interest and participation levels in political issues among individuals of Generation Y and Z. At the same time, in terms of voting approaches, similarities and differentiation have been observed at various points. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
