Öğrencilerin Facebook’taki Kişisel Gizlilik Tutumlarının İncelenmesi

Sosyal medya çalışmaları çoğunlukla, sosyal ağlardaki bireylerin davranışlarında ortaya çıkan değişimleri, bu değişimlerin kişilik üzerindeki etkilerini sebep-sonuç ilişkisine göre incelemesine rağmen çok az çalışmada Facebook ve mahremiyet arasındaki ilişki bireysellik kurasamsal çerçevesinde araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmada öğrencilerin problemlerini gizleme eğilimleri ile tutumları arasında, anlamlı bir ilişki olup olmadığını belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu araştırma betimsel nitelikte bir çalışma olup anket yöntemi ile desenlenmiştir. Mart- Nisan 2016 döneminde Ordu ilindeki 26 farklı sınıfta (9., 10., 11., 12. sınıf) okuyan 568 lise öğrencisine (Erkek: 279, 49%1 Kadın: 289, 50,9%), 36 sorudan oluşan Likert tipi çevrim içi anket yaptırılmıştır. Katılımcılar 14-18 yaş (M = 16.15, SD = 1.00) aralığındadır. Elde edilen verilerin ortalama ve standart sapma değerlerinin analizi sonucunda oluşan bulgular, tablolarla bağlantılı olarak yorumlanmıştır. Öğrencilerin sosyal medya kullanım nedenleri ile cinsiyet, aylık gelir ve aile tutumuna göre ilişkileri belirlemek amacıyla yapılan t-testi ve One Way ANOVA testi sonuçları göre değişkenler arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Bulgular, ergenlerin Facebook’taki mahremiyet sorunlarının karmaşık bağlantılarını işaret etmektedir. Araştırma sonuçları, sosyal medya kullanımı ve mahremiyet yönetimi açısından gelecek araştırmaların artmasına zemin hazırlayacaktır.

An Investigation of Attitudes of Students Towards Privacy on Facebook

The social media studies have frequently investigated the changes occurring in theindividual’s behaviors within the social network, and the cause-and-effect relationshipof these changes focuses on personality, but very little research has investigatedthe relationship between Facebook and privacy within the theoretical framework ofindividualism. In this study, it was aimed to determine whether there is a relationshipbetween the tendency of students to hide their problems and their attitudes towardsthis tendency. This study is a descriptive one, and was evaluated by surveys. ALikert-type online questionnaire including 36 items was answered by 568 high schoolstudents from 26 classes (grades 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th) in Ordu, Turkey (Male=279,49.1%, Female=289, 50.9%) in March and April in 2016. Participants ranged from14 to 18 years of age (M = 16.15, SD = 1.00). Mean and standard deviation valueswere calculated for the obtained data and those were indicated in findings by makinginterpretations of the tables. As to the results of t-test and One Way ANOVA test whichwas conducted to determine the reasons of usage of social media by the students interms of gender, monthly income and family attitude, there was a significant differenceamong variables. Findings point to the complex ways of the problems of privacy ofadolescents on Facebook. The study results will raise more questions for future studiesin terms of social media usage and privacy management.
