Abstract

Objective: This study examined the associations of fear of missing out (FoMO), social media addiction, and romantic relationship quality dimensions with self-hate among adults involved in romantic relationships. Method: The sample consisted of 300 adults aged 18-65 years who resided in Turkey and were currently involved in a romantic relationship. Participants completed measures of FoMO, social media addiction, perceived partner support, relationship conflict, relationship depth, and self-hate. Results: FoMO, social media addiction, and relationship conflict were positively associated with self-hate, whereas perceived partner support was negatively associated with self-hate. Relationship depth was not significantly associated with self-hate at the bivariate level. In the final regression model, FoMO and relationship conflict showed significant positive unique associations with self-hate, whereas perceived partner support showed a significant negative unique association. Social media addiction did not explain significant additional variance beyond FoMO. Relationship depth showed a positive conditional coefficient, which was interpreted cautiously because of its substantial overlap with perceived partner support. The final model explained 10.5% of the variance in self-hate. Conclusion: Self-hate was associated with both digital and relational factors, highlighting the importance of considering these domains together when examining negative self-evaluation..

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, romantik ilişkisi olan yetişkinlerde gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu, sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve romantik ilişki kalitesinin farklı boyutları ile öz nefret arasındaki ilişkileri incelemiştir. Yöntem: Örneklem, Türkiye'de yaşayan ve halihazırda romantik bir ilişki içerisinde bulunan, 18-65 yaş aralığındaki 300 yetişkinden oluşmuştur. Katılımcılar, gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu, sosyal medya bağımlılığı, algılanan partner desteği, ilişki çatışması, ilişki derinliği ve öz nefret değişkenlerini ölçen ölçekleri doldurmuştur. Bulgular: Gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu, sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve ilişki çatışması öz nefret ile pozitif yönde ilişkiliyken, algılanan partner desteği öz nefret ile negatif yönde ilişkili bulunmuştur. İlişki derinliği, iki değişkenli analizlerde öz nefret ile anlamlı bir ilişki göstermemiştir. Nihai regresyon modelinde, gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu ve ilişki çatışması öz nefret ile anlamlı ve pozitif yönde özgün ilişkiler gösterirken, algılanan partner desteği anlamlı ve negatif yönde özgün bir ilişki göstermiştir. Sosyal medya bağımlılığı, gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusunun ötesinde anlamlı bir ek varyans açıklamamıştır. İlişki derinliği pozitif bir koşullu katsayı göstermiştir; ancak algılanan partner desteğiyle önemli ölçüde örtüşmesi nedeniyle bu bulgu ihtiyatlı bir şekilde yorumlanmıştır. Nihai model, öz nefrete ilişkin varyansın %10,5'ini açıklamıştır. Sonuç: Öz nefretin hem dijital hem de ilişkisel faktörlerle ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu bulgu, olumsuz benlik değerlendirmesi incelenirken bu iki alanın birlikte ele alınmasının önemini vurgulamaktadır.
