Abstract:

 

Depending
on the developments in technology, students' use of social media is increasing.
In this study, it is aimed to examine the social media usage disorders of
middle school students in terms of different variables. In the study, middle
school students who were educated in 7 different state schools in Konya
province were used. Social Media Disorder Scale was used to detect social media
disorders of the students. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether
social media usage disorders were related to variables such as gender, class
level, certificate of achievement and settlement. The obtained data were
analyzed with SPSS 22 statistical package program and One-way ANOVA test was
used in the evaluation of the obtained data. As a result of data analysis, it
was observed that social media use disorders of middle school students were at
an average level. It has been observed that social media use disorders do not
differ according to gender. Social media use disorder at class level was mostly
at 7th grade level. Students studying in rural areas as a residential area were
found to have fewer levels of social media use disorders. In addition, students
who did not receive any success certificates in the previous year had more
social media use disorders than other students.
