Abstract

This study aims to examine the correlation between the socioeconomic circumstances of university students and their experiences of social exclusion. A total of 370 undergraduate students at a Turkish university participated in this cross-sectional study. The data were collected using the Multidimensional Poverty Assessment Scale for University Students, the Social Exclusion Scale for Adolescents, and the socio-demographic characteristics data form. The data were analyzed using several statistical tests, including the independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson regression coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis. The multidimensional poverty and social exclusion levels of the students were found to be at a medium level. The poverty levels of students who perceived their income levels as good, who were foreigners, who had a large family structure, and who had siblings were higher. Significant differences were found between the multidimensional poverty and social exclusion scores of the students and the faculties they studied. It was observed that students have different experiences of poverty in different areas such as financial opportunities, education, international opportunities, physical opportunities, health, sociocultural life, self-expression, and communication. To deal with this situation more effectively, it is recommended that universities develop comprehensive support strategies for students at risk of poverty and organize activities to strengthen solidarity and social ties among students.

大学生贫困维度与社会排斥的关系研究

摘要本研究旨在探讨大学生社会经济环境与社会排斥经历之间的关系。土耳其一所大学的370名本科生参与了这项横断面研究。数据采用大学生多维贫困评估量表、青少年社会排斥量表和社会人口学特征数据表收集。采用独立样本t检验、单因素方差分析、Mann-Whitney U检验、Kruskal-Wallis检验、Pearson回归系数、多元线性回归分析等统计检验对数据进行分析。学生的多维贫困和社会排斥水平处于中等水平。那些认为自己收入水平不错的学生、外国人、大家庭结构和有兄弟姐妹的学生的贫困水平更高。研究发现，学生和院系在多维贫困和社会排斥得分上存在显著差异。据观察，学生在经济机会、教育、国际机会、身体机会、健康、社会文化生活、自我表达和交流等不同领域有不同的贫困经历。为了更有效地处理这种情况，建议大学为面临贫困风险的学生制定全面的支持策略，并组织活动来加强学生之间的团结和社会联系。

期刊介绍： Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education.
