Abstract



Üniversite öğrencilerinin
internet bağımlığı düzeylerinin ve internet bağımlılığı ile akıllı telefon
kullanımları arasındaki ilişkilerin incelendiği bu çalışmada veriler anket
aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcıları İstanbul’da bulunan bir
devlet üniversitesinin Eğitim Fakültesi öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Çalışma
sonuçları incelendiğinde katılımcıların %43’ünün internete bağımlı olmayan
grupta bulunduğu halde, %26.8’inin bağımlı grupta, %30’unun ise risk grubunda
olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin internet bağımlılığı skorlarının
cinsiyete ve akıllı telefon kontrol etme sıklıklarına göre değiştiği
görülmüştür. İnternet 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 çalışma
sonuçları her iki bağımlılık türü konusunda ne tür önlemler alınması gerektiği
konusunda yol gösterici olacaktır.

Abstract




A survey research was conducted to determine
university students’ internet addiction levels and how it is associated to the
students’ daily smartphone usage habits. The participants of the study involved
298 undergraduate students at Faculty of Education in a state university in
İstanbul, Turkey. The study results indicated that though most of the
participant students (%43) belong to non-addicted group, 26.8% of the students
were addicted to the Internet and there were 90 risky students (%30), who have
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, t
here were positive correlations
between university students’ internet addiction scores and their daily smart
phone usage in hours. The results of the study would provide some clues for the
related governmental organizations about how to deal with both problemed internet
and smart phone usage by taking some preventive and corrective actions.
