THE RELATIONS BETWEEN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ INTERNET ADDICTION AND SMART PHONE USAGE HABITS

Öz:
A correlational research study was conducted to determine university students’ Internet addiction levels and how it is associated to the students’ daily smartphone usage. The participants of the study involved 298 university students in a state university in Istanbul, Turkey. The study results indicated that most of the participant students (43%) belong to the non-addicted group, while 26.8% of the students were addicted to the Internet and 30% of them were risky students, who have a potential to be addicted to the Internet. The results indicated that the university students’ Internet addiction scores significantly differed with respect to the frequency of their daily mobile phone checking and gender, as male students have higher Internet addiction scores than females. Furthermore, there were positive correlations between university students’ Internet addiction scores and their daily smartphone usage in hours. The results of the study would provide some advices for governmental organizations about how to deal with both problems by taking some preventive and corrective actions.
Anahtar Kelime: Internet addiction university students gender smart phone usage nomophobia.

ÜNİVERSİTE ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN İNTERNET BAĞIMLILIĞI İLE AKILLI TELEFON KULLANMA ALIŞKANLIKLARI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİLERİN İNCELENMESİ

Öz:
Üniversite öğrencilerinin internet bağımlığı düzeylerinin ve internet bağımlılığı ile akıllı telefon kullanımları arasındaki ilişkilerin incelendiği bu çalışmada ilişkisel tarama deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcıları İstanbul’da bulunan bir devlet üniversitesi öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Çalışma sonuçları incelendiğinde katılımcıların %43’ünün internete bağımlı olmayan grupta bulunduğu halde, %26.8’inin bağımlı grupta, %30’unun ise bağımlılık potansiyeli taşıyan, risk grubunda olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin internet bağımlılığı skorlarının akıllı telefonlarını kontrol etme sıklıklarına ve cinsiyete göre değiştiği, erkek öğrencilerin kız öğrencilere göre daha yüksek internet bağımlılığı skorlarına sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Tüm bunlara ek olarak, internet bağımlılığı skorları ile günlük akıllı telefon kullanım süreleri arasında da anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. İnternet bağımlılığı ve akıllı telefon kullanımı arasındaki ilişkileri ortaya koyan bu çalışmanın sonuçları her iki bağımlılık türü konusunda ne tür önlemler alınması gerektiği konusunda yol gösterici olacaktır.
