Özet

Bu çalışma, sosyal medya fenomenleriyle kurulan parasosyal etkileşimin tüketici sadakati üzerindeki etkisini ve bu ilişkide psikolojik iyi oluşun aracılık rolünü incelemektedir. Dijital medya kullanımının artmasıyla birlikte bireylerin fenomenlerle kurduğu tek yönlü fakat karşılıklı algılanan yakınlık ilişkileri, tüketici tutum ve davranışlarında belirleyici bir unsur hâline gelmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında Türkiye’de yaşayan 215 sosyal medya kullanıcısından anket yoluyla veri toplanmış ve veriler PLS-SEM yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, parasosyal etkileşimin hem psikolojik iyi oluşu hem de tüketici sadakatini pozitif yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca psikolojik iyi oluşun, parasosyal etkileşim ile tüketici sadakati arasında anlamlı ve kısmi bir aracı role sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Modelin açıklayıcılık düzeylerinin orta seviyede olduğu ve özellikle psikolojik iyi oluş değişkeninin yüksek oranda açıklanabildiği görülmüştür. Sonuçlar, fenomen pazarlamasında duygusal bağların ve iyi oluş temelli deneyimlerin tüketici sadakatini güçlendiren kritik unsurlar olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırma, markalar ve içerik üreticileri için sürdürülebilir ve psikolojik değer odaklı pazarlama stratejilerine yönelik önemli öneriler sunmaktadır.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of parasocial interaction established with social media influencers on consumer loyalty and investigates the mediating role of psychological well-being in this relationship. As digital media usage increases, the one-sided yet mutually perceived sense of closeness that individuals develop with influencers has become a significant determinant of consumer attitudes and behaviors. Data were collected through a survey administered to 215 social media users residing in Türkiye, and the analyses were conducted using the PLS-SEM method. The findings indicate that parasocial interaction positively influences both psychological well-being and consumer loyalty. Moreover, psychological well-being was found to have a significant and partial mediating role in the relationship between parasocial interaction and consumer loyalty. The explanatory power of the model was at a moderate level, with psychological well-being demonstrating particularly high explanatory strength. Overall, the results reveal that emotional bonds and well-being-oriented experiences are critical components that strengthen consumer loyalty within influencer marketing. The study offers important implications for brands and content creators seeking to develop sustainable and psychologically value-driven marketing strategies.
