Citizenship Literacy Scale is a scale developed to measure individuals’ level of knowledge and interest in citizenship, their ability to use their right to seek rights and to transform it into actions. The statements in the scale were created as a result of unstructured interviews and literature review. The content validity of the Citizenship Literacy Scale was ensured, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes were conducted to ensure construct validity. According to the results of the exploratory factor analysis, the scale consisted of 29 statements gathered under 4 factors and explained 65,573% of the total variance. After the exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis was performed and the model's goodness-of-fit indices were examined. Goodness of fit values as a result of confirmatory factor analysis; χ2 = 1430,423; df=363, p= .000; χ2/df= 3.941; RMSEA = 0.052; SRMR = 0.051; GFI=0.912; AGFI=0.901; TLI= 0.944; CFI=0.950; IFI = 0.950; NFI=0.934; RFI=0.926 was found. According to these values, it was understood that the Citizenship Literacy Scale showed excellent fit for CFI and IFI, χ2/df, good fit for RMSEA, SRMR, GFI, NFI and RFI. All the results obtained showed that the Citizenship Literacy Scale, which was developed, is a valid and reliable measurement tool for measuring the citizenship literacy levels of individuals.

The fact that suicide, which is a global problem, can occur due to economic reasons makes it necessary to examine this phenomenon from an economic perspective. In this context, the aim of this study is to analyze the phenomenon of suicide at the regional level for Turkey on the basis of “Suicidal Kuznets Curve” approach, which was revealed by Antonakakis and Collins (2018). For this purpose, in this study the data obtained from TURKSTAT of 26 NUTS-2 sub-regions for the 2008-2018 period and panel data analysis were used. Firstly, Breusch-Pagan LM and Pesaran CD cross-section dependency tests, then Pesaran CIPS panel unit root test, Pedroni and Westerlund panel cointegration tests, DOLS and CCEMG coefficient estimators were applied. According to the findings of the study, while a “U” shaped “Suicidal Kuznets Curve” is valid for the general model, differences arise among regions.
