Özet
Many fields of science, the economy being first, aim to ensure that the
individuals and the society lead a happy and satisfactory life. Many
studies attempted to measure the life satisfaction by the means of
demographical, genetic, psychological and economic variables;
however, the social capital has been largely overlooked in this manner.
This study discusses the relationship between the social capital and
the life satisfaction. In the study, in which the structural equation
model was employed, the findings suggest that there is a positive
relationship between the life satisfaction and the social capital. The
associational social capital (0.65), Cognitive social capital (0.62) and
the structural social capital (0.31) have an intermediate level effect on
the life satisfaction in a positive direction.
