Özet

Bu araştırmada bireylerin sosyal medya haberlerine güven duymaları, teyit etmeleri ve dijital okuryazarlıkları, cinsiyet, öğrenim durumu ve sosyal medyaya bağlanma süresi değişkenlerine göre incelenmiştir. Kesitsel tarama deseniyle kurgulanan çalışmaya 174 kişi katılım göstermiştir. Yapılan t-testi, ANOVA ve Kruskall Wallis-H analizi sonuçları, cinsiyetin dijital okuryazarlık, kurumsal ve bireysel güven puanlarında, öğrenim durumunun kurumsal ve bireysel güven puanlarında anlamlı farklılık oluşturduğunu, sosyal medyaya bağlanma süresinin ise hiçbir başlıkta anlamlı farklılık oluşturmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca korelasyon analizi bulguları, güven duyma ve teyit etme birbirleriyle farklı düzeylerde ilişki gösterirken, dijital okuryazarlık yalnızca teyit etme davranışı ile ilişkili göstermiştir.
