Abstract

This study examined the relationships between adolescents' social appearance anxiety, academic self-efficacy and social media addiction. The predictive relational model was used in the study. For data collection purposes, the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale, the Academic Self-Efficacy sub-dimension of the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children, the Social Media Addiction Scale and the Personal Information Form developed by the researcher were used. In this study, the data obtained from the data collection tools were analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 package program. Pearson Correlation analysis and Multivariate Regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data. According to the findings, a low-level positive significant relationship was found between social appearance anxiety and social media addiction and a low-level negative significant relationship was found between social media addiction and academic self-efficacy. However, no significant relationship was found between social appearance anxiety and academic self-efficacy. It was determined that social appearance anxiety and academic self-efficacy were significant predictors of social media addiction. The findings were discussed based on the findings in the literature and suggestions were made to practitioners and researchers.

Özet

Bu araştırmada ergenlerin sosyal görünüş kaygısı, akademik öz yeterlik ve sosyal medya bağımlılığı arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Araştırmada yordayıcı ilişkisel model kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama amacıyla Sosyal Görünüş Kaygısı Ölçeği, Çocuklar için Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği Akademik Öz Yeterlik alt boyutu, Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığı Ölçeği ve araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırmada veri toplama araçlarından elde edilen veriler, SPSS 26.0 paket programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde Pearson Korelasyon analizi ve Çok Değişkenli Regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre sosyal görünüş kaygısı ile sosyal medya bağımlılığı arasında düşük düzeyde pozitif anlamlı bir ilişki ve sosyal medya bağımlılığı ile akademik öz yeterlik arasında düşük düzeyde negatif anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Sosyal görünüş kaygısı ile akademik öz yeterlik arasında ise anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Sosyal görünüş kaygısı ve akademik öz yeterliliğin sosyal medya bağımlılığının anlamlı bir yordayıcısı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular literatürdeki bulgular temel alınarak tartışılmış, uygulayıcı ve araştırmacılara önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
