Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığının Erzurum İli Üzerindeki Yansıması

Dijital teknolojinin dünyamızı sarıp sarmaladığı bir süreçte bağımlılık düzeyine varan, özellikle de gençler arasında hızla yayılan sosyal medya bağımlılığı bu araştırmanın temel konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada Erzurum’un en fazla nüfuslu üç merkez ilçesinde (Yakutiye, Palandöken, Aziziye) ikamet eden ve en az bir sosyal medya platformunda hesabı olan örneklem grubumuzun sosyal medya bağımlılık seviyesinin hangi düzeyde olduğu incelenmiştir. Araştırmamızın kuramsal temelini, Young tarafından geliştirilen İnternete dayalı bağımlılık ölçeği (1996) ve Bergen Facebook Bağımlılık Ölçeği (2012) baz alınarak düzenlenen anket metodolojisi oluşturmaktadır. Genel tarama modeline göre yürütülen araştırmamızda 4 alt boyuttan (Yoksunluk, İşlevsellikte Bozulma, Kontrol Güçlüğü ve Sosyal İzolasyon) yola çıkılarak konumuzla bağlantılı 30 soru belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarında dikkat çekici gözlem ve değerlendirilmelere yer verilmiştir. Eğitim durumuna göre yapılan karşılaştırmalarda, ilkokul ve ortaokul mezunlarının sosyal medya bağımlılığının, diğer eğitim kategorisindekilere oranla daha fazla olduğu anlaşılırken, medeni durumu bekar olanların evli ve boşanmış gruba oranla, sosyal medya bağımlılık oranının daha fazla olduğu gözlenmiştir.

The Reflection of Social Media Addiction on Erzurum Province

Social media addiction, which reaches the level of addiction in a process where digital technology embraces our world, and is spreading rapidly, especially among young people, constitutes the main subject of this study. In the study, the social media addiction level of our sample group, who lives in three most populated central districts of Erzurum (Yakutiye, Palandöken, Aziziye) and has an account on at least one social media platform, was examined. The theoretical basis of our research is the survey methodology based on the Internet-based addiction scale (1996) developed by Young and the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (2012). In our study conducted according to the general screening model, 30 questions related to our topic were determined based on 4 sub-dimensions (Deprivation, Deterioration in Functioning, Control Difficulty and Social Isolation). Remarkable observations and evaluations were included in the results of the study. In the comparisons made according to education status, it was observed that social media addiction of primary and secondary school graduates was higher than those in other education categories, while it was observed that social media addiction rates of single marital status were higher than married and divorced groups.
