Abstract

This study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effect of exercise addiction levels of hearing impaired and non-hearing impaired individuals on social comparison according to different variables. In our study, the "exercise addiction scale" adapted into Turkish by Tekkurşun-Demir et al., (2018) was used in order to measure the exercise addiction levels of the participants and the "social comparison scale" developed by Allan & Gilbert (1995), was used in its latest adaptation to Turkish. In the collection of data, the electronic survey method prepared over Google Forms was preferred. In the analysis of the data obtained through the STATA 14.1 package program, One-Way ANOVA was used to examine the differences of variables, and Pearson Correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between variables. A total of 172 volunteers living and studying in the Kayseri region of Turkey participated in our study. While there was a significant difference (P 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the social comparison level and the postponing of individual and social needs / conflict variables for both groups compared (P> 0.05).It was determined that the results of the correlation analysis for non-hearing impaired individuals supported the results obtained in the ANOVA analysis (P> 0.05). In the correlation analysis for hearing impaired individuals, between excessive focus and emotional change, which is one of the sub-dimensions of the exercise addiction scale, and social comparison, positive and statistically significant relationship was determined (P <0.05). However, these results were observed to be inconsistent with the ANOVA results for the hearing impaired. For hearing-impaired individuals, correlation results between other sub-dimensions and social comparison were found to be consistent with the ANOVA results. As a result, it was determined that some sub-dimensions of exercise dependence positively and statistically affect the level of social comparison in non-hearing impaired individuals significantly.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, işitme engelli ve işitme engelli olmayan bireylerin egzersiz bağımlılık düzeylerin sosyal karşılaştırmaya etkisini farklı değişkenlere göre karşılaştırılması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmamızda, katılımcıların egzersiz bağımlılığı düzeylerini ölçmek amacıyla Tekkurşun-Demir, et al. tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan “egzersiz bağımlılığı ölçeği” ve Allan & Gilbert, tarafından geliştirilen “sosyal karşılaştırma ölçeği” en son Türkçeye uyarlanmış haliyle kullanılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında ise Google Forms üzerinden hazırlanan elektronik anket yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde STATA 14.1 paket programı aracılığıyla değişkenler farklılıkların incelenmesinde One-Way ANOVA, değişkenler arası ilişkiler incelenirken Korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Kayseri bölgesinde yaşayan ve okuyan toplam 172 gönüllü çalışmamıza katılım göstermiştir. İşitme engeli olmayan ve işitme engelli bireyler için sosyal karşılaştırma düzeyi ile aşırı odaklanma/duygu değişimi ve tolerans/tutku alt boyutlarında sağlıklı bireyler için anlamlı bir fark varken (P 0.05). Karşılaştırılan her iki grup için sosyal karşılaştırma düzeyi ve bireysel ve sosyal ihtiyaçların ertelenmesi/çatışma değişkenleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark gözlenmemiştir (P>0.05). Sağlıklı bireyler için yapılan korelasyon analizine ilişkin sonuçların ANOVA analizinde elde edilen sonuçları desteklediği görülmüştür (P>0.05). İşitme engelli bireyler için yapılan korelasyon analizinde, egzersiz bağımlılığı ölçeğinin alt boyutlarından biri olan aşırı odaklanma ve duygu değişimi ile sosyal karşılaştırma arasında pozitif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki gözlenmiştir (P <0.05). Ancak, bu sonuçlar işitme engelliler için yapılan ANOVA sonuçları ile uyumsuz olduğu gözlenmiştir. İşitme engelli bireyler için, diğer alt boyutlar ile sosyal karşılaştırma arasında ki korelasyon sonuçlarının, ANOVA sonuçları ile tutarlı olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, egzersiz bağımlılığının bazı alt boyutlarının işitme engelli olmayan bireylerde sosyal karşılaştırma düzeyini pozitif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir biçimde etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
