Türkiye’de İstihdam Edilen ve Edilmeyen Kadınların Temsiliyet Kısa Yolu Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Bu çalışmada bireylerin belirsizlik altında aldığı kararlarında temsiliyet kısa yolundan etkilenip etkilenmediği, istihdam edilen ve edilmeyen kadınlar çerçevesinde ele alınmıştır. Bunun için doktor olan kadınların ve ev kadınlarının karar alırken önsel bilgiyi kullanıp kullanmadıkları incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın ana amacı kadının emek piyasasındaki dezavantajlı konumunu anlamaktır. Çalışmanın literatüre temel katkısı ise kadınların rasyonellikten sapmalarında temsiliyet kısa yolunun etkisini keşfetmektir. Uygulama yapılırken online anket tekniğiyle istihdam edilmiş ve edilmemiş 428 kadına temsiliyet kısa yolunu ölçmek için on dört soru sorulmuştur. Analiz sonucu literatüre uygun olup, bireylerin belirsizlik altında temsiliyet kısa yolu ile karar alarak rasyonellikten saptığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

A Case Study on Representativeness Heuristic in Employed and Unemployed Women in Turkey

This study discusses whether decisions made under uncertain conditions are affected by the representativeness heuristic in terms of employed and unemployed women. For this purpose, we investigated whether female physicians and housewives use prior information when making predictions. The main purpose of study is to understand the disadvantaged position of women in the labor market. The study’s main contribution to the literature is to explore the effect of the representativeness heuristic on women’s deviations from rationality. To measure the representativeness heuristic, 14 questions were asked to 428 employed and unemployed women with an online survey. Our results were consistent with the literature, and we concluded that decisions made under uncertain conditions are influenced by the representativeness heuristic, resulting in deviations from rationality.
