Dijitalleşen Dünyada Tüketici Davranışları Açısından Mobil Teknoloji Bağımlılığı: Üniversite Öğrencileri Üzerine Nitel Bir Araştırma

Günümüzde teknolojik alandaki hızlı gelişmeler insanların yaşam biçimini köklü ve kalıcı biçimde değiştirmiştir. Söz konusu değişimin hem tüketici hem de işletme açısından birçok kolaylığı da beraberinde getirmiştir. Bilgisayar ve akıllı telefonların hayatımıza girmesi ile bu değişim daha da hızlanmış, beklenmedik şekilde toplumdaki aile ilişkilerini, sosyal hayat alışkanlıklarını, alışveriş biçimlerini, gazete okuma davranışlarını ve hatta bakkaldan ekmek alma şeklini bile değiştirmiştir. Bu değişimin sosyal ve psikolojik birçok yönü ve etkisi bulunmaktadır. Bilgisayar ve akıllı telefon kullanımı konusunda toplumun her kesimi aynı düzeyde eğilim göstermemektedir. Aşırı kullanımın getirdiği bağımlılık olarak adlandırılan farklı psikolojik davranışlar gözlenmektedir. Bu çalışmada kalitatif tekniklerden olan derinlemesine mülakat yöntemi seçilmiştir. Belirlenen yöntem üniversite öğrencilerinden seçilen üç odak grup üzerinde araştırılmıştır. Ayrıca katılımcılara bağımlılık seviyelerini ölçen sorular yöneltilmiş ve aldıkları haz-suçluluk duyguları sorulmuştur. Çalışmanın ilk aşamasında kalitatif teknikten gelen sonuçlar doğrultusunda ikinci aşamadaki kantitatif çalışma ile tamamlanması ve daha geniş örneklem kütlesi ile sorunsalın farklı boyutlarına ulaşılması amaçlanmıştır.
