Özet

Yalnızlık hem bireysel hem de toplumsal bir fenomendir. Medya kullanımı ve televizyon izleme de yalnızlıkla baş etme stratejilerinden biridir. Bu yüzden yalnızlık ve televizyon kullanımı arasındaki bağlantıların ortaya çıkarılması önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, insanların yalnızlık seviyesine bağlı olarak hangi doyumları elde etmek amacıyla televizyon izlediği sorusuna cevap aranmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, yalnızlık düzeyi arttıkça televizyon izleme süresinin arttığını, yalnızların en çok televizyonda magazin programları, diziler ve sinema filmlerini izlediğini ortaya koymuştur. Yalnızlar arkadaşlık ve kaçış, zaman geçirme ve alışkanlık, eğlence ve sosyal etkileşim gereksinimlerini doyurmak için televizyon izlemektedirler. Ancak yalnızlık düzeyi arttıkça, televizyonda bilgilenme motivasyonuna verilen önem azalmaktadır.
