This chapter examines public awareness of interest-free financial products in Turkey, focusing on demographic influences such as gender, age, education, and income. Utilizing the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), a field survey was conducted to assess knowledge levels and behavioral intentions toward alternative financing models. Data from 572 participants were analyzed via Chi-square tests and cross tabulations in R (programming language) and SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). Results revealed moderate awareness among 58% of respondents, with 22% exhibiting limited understanding. Gender, age, and education significantly correlated with awareness, while income showed no statistical impact. Notably, younger, educated demographics and males demonstrated higher engagement with interest-free options. The findings underscore the need for targeted strategies to enhance public understanding, particularly through education and outreach, to foster sectoral growth and adoption of savings finance models.

摘要

This chapter examines public awareness of interest-free financial products in Turkey, focusing on demographic influences such as gender, age, education, and income. Utilizing the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), a field survey was conducted to assess knowledge levels and behavioral intentions toward alternative financing models. Data from 572 participants were analyzed via Chi-square tests and cross tabulations in R (programming language) and SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). Results revealed moderate awareness among 58% of respondents, with 22% exhibiting limited understanding. Gender, age, and education significantly correlated with awareness, while income showed no statistical impact. Notably, younger, educated demographics and males demonstrated higher engagement with interest-free options. The findings underscore the need for targeted strategies to enhance public understanding, particularly through education and outreach, to foster sectoral growth and adoption of savings finance models.
