Abstract:

 Today, the rise and addiction of social media has led to a change in empathic tendencies in social relations. For this reason, it is of great importance to reveal the relationship between social media addiction and empathy skills, especially in young people. For this reason, the aim of this research was determined as the relationship between social media addictions and empathy skills of vocational school students. The research was carried out with 670 students studying at Afyon Vocational School. According to the results of the research, students social media addiction levels were low and their empathy skills were high. In the study, it was determined that social media addiction and empathy skills did not differ according to age, gender, type of education and graduated school variables. In addition, it has been revealed that there is a significant, positive and weak relationship between social media addiction, which is the general purpose of the research, and empathy skills. Finally, no significant relationship was found between academic achievement grade average and social media addiction and empathy skills. Based on these results, it can be said that students use social media correctly. For this reason, educational content can be given to students by using social media in the form of an institution page or a class page.

 Günümüzde sosyal medyanın yükselişi ve bağımlılık haline gelmesi, sosyal ilişkilerdeki empatik eğilimlerin de değişmesine yol açmıştır. Bu sebeple özellikle gençlerdeki sosyal medyaya olan bağımlılık ile empati becerileri arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya çıkarılması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu nedenle bu araştırmanın amacı meslek yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin sosyal medya bağımlılıkları ile empati becerileri arasındaki ilişki olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırma, Afyon Meslek Yüksekokulunda öğrenim gören 670 öğrenci ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin sosyal medya bağımlılık düzeyleri düşük, empati becerileri yüksek bulunmuştur. Araştırmada sosyal medya bağımlılık ve empati becerilerinin yaş, cinsiyet, öğrenim türü ve mezun olunan okul değişkenlerine göre farklılaşmadığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca araştırmanın genel amacı olan sosyal medya bağımlığı ile empati becerileri arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı fakat zayıf bir ilişki olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Son olarak akademik başarınot ortalaması ile sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve empati becerileri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmemiştir. Bu sonuçlardan yola çıkarak öğrencilerin sosyal medyayı doğru bir şekilde kullandıkları söylenebilir. Bu nedenle öğrencilere sosyal medya kullanarak kurum sayfası veya sınıf sayfası şeklinde sosyal medya kullanımı ile daha eğitici içerikler verilebilir.
