Mindfulness, Psychological Well-being, Social Media Use, and Internet Use Time among Adolescents: A Structural Equation Modeling

Öz:

Objective: Psychological well-being is a concept associated with mindfulness and the use of social media. Limited information is available in the literature on the nature of this relationship and the underlying intermediary mechanisms. We also aimed to determine the mediator role of social media use and time spent online in the association between mindfulness and psychological well-being. Method: This study included 429 teenagers. Data was collected through introductory information form, social media use scale, psychological well-being scale, and mindful attention awareness scale. Structural equation modeling method was used in the analysis of the data. Results: A significant positive correlation was found between mindfulness and psychological well-being, and a significant negative correlation was found between mindfulness and time spent online. Social media use did not play a mediator’s role in the correlation between mindfulness and psychological well-being, while the daily time spent online played a mediator’s role. Conclusion: As mindfulness increases in adolescents, psychological well-being increases and the time spent on the internet decreases. While the use of social media does not have a mediating role in the relationship between mindfulness and psychological well-being, the time spent on the internet has a mediating effect. Future research should be conducted with different groups and variables on the impact of social media use on psychological well-being and mindfulness.

Ergenlerde Farkındalık, Psikolojik İyi Oluş, Sosyal Medya Kullanımı ve İnternet Kullanım Süresi: Bir Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi

Öz:

Amaç: Psikolojik iyi oluş, farkındalık ve sosyal medya kullanımı ile ilişkili bir kavramdır. Literatürde bu ilişkinin doğası ve altında yatan aracı mekanizmalar hakkında sınırlı bilgi mevcuttur. Ayrıca bilinçli farkındalık ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide sosyal medya kullanımı ve internette geçirilen zamanın aracı rolünü belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya 429 genç dahil edilmiştir. Veriler, tanıtıcı bilgi formu, sosyal medya kullanım ölçeği, psikolojik iyi oluş ölçeği ve bilinçli farkındalık ölçeği aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde yapısal eşitlik modelleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bulgular, bilinçli farkındalık ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasında anlamlı bir pozitif korelasyon bulunduğunu ve farkındalık ile internette harcanan zaman arasında anlamlı bir negatif korelasyon bulunduğunu göstermiştir. Farkındalık ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide sosyal medya kullanımı bir aracı rolü oynamazken, internette harcanan zaman bir aracı rolü olduğu görülmektedir. Sonuç: Adölesanlarda bilinçli farkındalık artıkça psikolojik iyi oluşun arttığı, internette harcanan zamanın azaldığı saptanmıştır. Bilinçli farkındalık ile psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide sosyal medya kullanımının aracı bir rolü yokken, internette geçirilen süre aracı bir etkiye sahiptir. Sosyal medya kullanımının psikolojik iyi oluş ve bilinçli farkındalık üzerindeki etkisi konusunda gelecekte farklı grup ve değişkenlerle araştırma yapılması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
