Abstract:

In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of various variables on family belonging and altruistic behaviors of university students and to reveal the relationship between family belonging and altruistic behaviors. This survey model was conducted with 987 university students who are continuing their education at various universities in Konya province and who are participating voluntarily. The data were collected by the participatory fact sheet, the family belonging scale and the altruism scale. The analysis of the data was done using the SPSS Statistic 20 program. The data was found to be suitable for normal distribution and The Independent-Samples T Test, One-Way ANOVA tests and Pearson Choleration tests were conducted. A positive correlation was found between family belonging and altruistic behaviors of university students. Also, a significant difference was found between family belonging and altruistic behavior, with independent variables such as frequency of regular family time, attitudes of participants in their family problems, family-relative relationships, number of friends they could ask for help, feelings they felt most of their lives, understanding their family’s feelings, crying next to their family, and comparing themselves with others. For example, the students with high family members stated that they were not compared by their families and that they could cry with their families. Students who are willing to ask for help from 7 or more friends are more helpful. Students who are in harmony with the problem experienced in the family have high belongingness and responsibility behaviors.
