pared to the other participants.

ering themselves competent in dimension of the media according to the average
monthly income of the family, as average monthly income of the family increases, fam-
ily members’ levels of considering themselves competent in the dimension of the media
also increase. Family members’ eagerness for taking part in the trainings to be given in
the topics in the dimension of the media does not change according to the average
income level of the family.
Educational background. As educational level of the family members increases, family
members’ levels of considering themselves competent in dimension of the media
also increase. Particularly illiterate participants are more reluctant for taking part in the
trainings to be given in the topics relating to dimension of the media.

matters relating to dimension of the media compared to the other participants. Civil
servants constitute the group considering themselves most competent. According to the
