Abstract: (3435 Views)
Social indifference is a social issue; In which there is a kind of disconnect between people's awareness, feelings and behavior towards social issues, and this disconnect causes passivity towards social issues. The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of social indifference of students of Hakim Sabzevari University and the factors affecting it. This research was done by survey method and questionnaire technique. The statistical sample was estimated using Cochran's formula 370 people who were selected by stratified random method. The results show that the rate of social indifference of students is moderate and 73.7% they were moderately indifferent. There was no significant difference between contextual variables including gender, place of residence, ethnicity, field and level of education with social indifference; but there is a significant difference between marital status and age with social indifference. The lack of significance of most of the contextual variables indicates the generality of this phenomenon among students, regardless of whether they are male or female, urban or rural, and of different ethnicities. The family context variable was always the most effective in all bivariate and multivariate tests. The sequence of independent variables affecting social indifference based on path analysis were: family background, feeling of social anomaly, social effectiveness, mass media, social trust and hope for the future. The results of regression analysis show that 29% the changes in students' social indifference are explained by independent variables. Thus, despite the fact that various theories were used to explain social indifference, the rate of explanation of the dependent variable was not very high. This may indicate that social indifference among students has unique characteristics that are not addressed in theories.
