Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı 13-17 yaş arası çocukların dijital oyun bağımlılığı ile sosyal becerileri arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek ve çocukların sahip oldukları sosyal becerileri açıklamada onların sosyo-demografik bilgileri ile birlikte dijital oyun bağımlılığının anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olup olmadığını ortaya koymaktır. Yöntem: Araştırma nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada dijital oyun bağımlılığını ölçmek için yedi maddeden oluşan Dijital Oyun Bağımlılığı Ölçeği ve sosyal becerileri ölçmek için kırk yedi maddeden oluşan Matson Çocuklarda Sosyal Becerileri Değerlendirme Ölçeği’nden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemi Ankara Yenimahalle ilçesinde yaşayan 13-17 yaş arası çocuklar içerisinden seçilen 389 çocuktan oluşmaktadır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan çocukların tamamı erkek olup yaş ortalamaları 14,86±1,28 (ortalama±s.sapma) olarak elde edilmiştir. Çocukların sosyal beceri düzeylerini açıklamada ise sosyal becerileri değerlendirme ölçeğinin olumlu sosyal beceriler ve olumsuz sosyal beceriler boyutları ayrıca ele alınmıştır. Sonuç: Dijital oyun bağımlılığı ile çocuklarda olumsuz sosyal beceriler ve sosyal davranışlar arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
