Abstract

In this research, it is aimed to reveal the development of the concept until today and the map of the studies within the framework of the studies on the concept of sociotelism. Within the framework of quantitative data in the research, it is aimed to present the current literature on sociotelism, which is one of the leading current issues within the framework of quantitative data, to present the concept to the research conductors in a systematic way by choosing the bibliometric analysis method, and to determine the research trends related to the concept of sociotelism and the deficiencies in the literature. In the research, the bibliometric data of the studies in different disciplines published between 2014-2024 in the Web of Science database were taken as a basis. When the publication years of 360 studies on sociotelism are examined, it is seen that there is the highest increase in 2022 (88 works) and 2023 (86 works). Regarding the types of publications, it was determined that the documents consisted of articles (318), studies in early view (20), papers (15), review articles (10), meeting abstracts (9), editorial content (3), corrections (2), letters (2) and book reviews (1). In terms of the distribution of research by country, it was found that the leading countries were China (127) and the USA (62), and that the leading publishers published works in English (348), Spanish (10) and Russian (3). When we look at the most frequently preferred keywords in the works related to sociotelism, it is seen that the phrases phubbing (183 repetitions), parental phubbing (46 repetitions) and smartphone (20 repetitions) come at the top. Since 2014, the concept of sociotelism, which has started to come to the agenda and gain importance, has started to gain importance as we move towards the present day. Therefore, conducting such review studies on the subject at certain intervals will contribute to the scientific and comprehensive summarized information of those interested in the subject.

Özet

Bu araştırmada sosyotelizm kavramına ilişkin gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar çerçevesinde kavramın günümüze kadar gelişiminin ve çalışmaların haritasının ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nicel veriler çerçevesinde güncel konuların başında gelen sosyotelizme ilişkin mevcut alanyazının bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi tercih edilerek sistemli şekilde kavramın araştırma yürütücülerine sunulması, sosyotelizm kavramıyla alakalı araştırma eğilimlerinin ve literatürdeki eksikliklerin tespit edilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Araştırmada Web of Science veri tabanında bulunan ve 2014-2024 yılları arasında yayınlanmış farklı disiplinlerde yapılmış çalışmaların bibliyometik verisi baz alınmıştır. Sosyotelizmle ilgili 360 çalışmanın yayın yıllarına bakıldığı zaman en çok 2022 (88 eser) ve 2023 (86 eser) yıllarında artış bulunduğu görülmüştür. Yayın türlerine bakıldığında dökümanların makale (318), erken görünümde çalışma (20), bildiri (15), derleme makale (10), toplantı özeti (9), editöryal içerik (3), düzeltme (2), mektup (2) ve kitap incelemesinden (1) oluştuğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmaların ülkelere göre dağılımı konusunda önde gelen ülkelerin Çin (127) ve ABD (62) kökenli yayıncılardan oluştuğu; öncelik İngilizce olmak üzere (348), İspanyolca (10) ve Rusça (3) eserler yayınlanmış olduğu saptanmıştır. Sosyotelizmle alakalı eserlerde en sık tercih edilen anahtar sözcüklere bakıldığı zaman 183 tekrar ile phubbing (sosyotelizm), 46 tekrar ile parental phubbing (ebeveyn bağımlılığı) ve 20 tekrarla smartphone (akıllı telefon) ifadelerinin başlarda geldiği görülmüştür.
