The population of study consists of housewives using FB, and sample consists of 990 housewives selected by convenience sampling. The Social Media Addiction Scale SMAS developed by Tutgun-Ünal and Deniz 2015, consisting of 41 items and 4 factors, was used to evaluate FB addiction levels. As a result of Explanatory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis of FB Usage Purposes Scale developed within the scope of this study in order to determine FB intended use, it was determined that it consisted of 14 items and 2 factors socializing and sharing, getting information and news. When FB usage purposes were examined, it was revealed that housewives mainly use FB for following the news or current events M 3.10, sd1.12 and receiving news from friends M 3.06, sd1.15. When the addiction levels were examined, 38.7 n383 of the housewives were not addicted; more than half n607 were addicted on different levels; 15.6 n154 were low, 26.4 n261 medium, 12.6 n125 high, and 6.8 n67 very high. According to the MANOVA results, as the level of addiction increased, the mean scores of the dimensions of occupation, mood regulation, repetition and conflict increased significantly, and they used FB more frequently for socializing and sharing and getting information and news. According to the results of the chi-square test, it was determined that FB addiction levels showed significant differences according to household income, marital status, and age.

 Araştırmanın amacı ev hanımlarının Facebook FB sosyal ağına yönelik bağımlılık düzeylerinin ve kullanım amaçlarının incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın evrenini FB kullanan ev hanımları oluşturmakla birlikte, çalışma grubu kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 990 ev hanımından oluşmaktadır. Ev hanımlarının FB bağımlılık düzeylerinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla, Tutgun-Ünal ve Deniz 2015 tarafından geliştirilen, 41 ifade ve 4 boyuttan oluşan Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığı Ölçeği SMBÖ kullanılmıştır. FB kullanım amaçlarının belirlenmesi için ise bu çalışma kapsamında geliştirilen FB Kullanım Amaçları Ölçeğinin Açıklayıcı ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizleri sonucunda 14 ifade ve 2 boyuttan sosyalleşme ve paylaşım yapma, ve bilgi ve haber alma oluştuğu saptanmıştır. FB kullanım amaçları incelendiğinde, ev hanımlarının ağırlıklı olarak haberleri veya güncel olayları takip etmek Ort 3.10, ss1.12 ve arkadaşlarımdan haber almak Ort 3.06, ss1.15 amacıyla kullandıkları ortaya çıkmıştır. Bağımlılık düzeyleri incelendiğinde, araştırmaya katılan ev hanımlarının 38,7si n383 bağımlı değilken; yarısından fazlasının n607 farklı düzeylerde bağımlı oldukları; 15,6sının n154 az bağımlı, 26,4ünün n261 orta düzey bağımlı, 12,6sının n125 yüksek düzey bağımlı ve 6,8inin n67 çok yüksek düzey bağımlı olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. MANOVA test sonuçlarına göre, ev hanımlarının bağımlılık düzeyi arttıkça, meşguliyet, duygu durum düzenleme, tekrarlama ve çatışma boyutlarına ait ortalama puanların anlamlı bir şekilde arttığı ve sosyalleşme ve paylaşım yapma amacıyla ve bilgi ve haber alma amacıyla FByi daha sık kullandıkları ortaya çıkmıştır. FB bağımlılık düzeyinin demografik özelliklere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını tespit etmek amacıyla yapılan ki-kare test sonuçlarına göre, FB bağımlılık düzeyinin gelir düzeyi, medeni durum ve yaşa göre anlamlı farklılıklar gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir.
