Sosyal medyanın sağladığı iletişim ve bilgi avantajları göz önüne alındığında bu tercih öngörülebilir bir yapıya sahiptir. Kullanıcılar sıkıntıyı gidermek için sosyal medyaya yöneldiklerinde platformu aşırı kullanarak aşırı yüklenmeye neden olabilirler, bu da tükenmişliğe yol açabilir. Bu tükenmişlik, kullanıcının platforma olan ilgisini kaybetmesine veya artık sıkıntıyı giderme konusunda eskisi kadar cazip gelmemesine yol açabilir. Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin sosyal medya yorgunluğu, can sıkıntısı ve sosyal medya bağımlılığı arasındaki ilişki ve etkiyi ortaya çıkarmak için yapılmıştır. Nicel araştırma yönteminin kullanıldığı araştırmada ilişkisel tarama deseninden faydalanılmıştır. Konya’da bulunan devlet üniversiteleri evreninde gerçekleştirilen araştırma 412 gönüllü katılımcı örnekleminde yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre erkek katılımcılar kadın katılımcılara oranla YouTube, Facebook ve Telegramı daha çok kullanmaktadır. Katılımcıların sosyal medya yorgunlukları, can sıkıntıları ve sosyal medya bağımlılıkları arasında pozitif anlamlı ilişki bulunmaktadır. Can sıkıntısı sosyal medya bağımlılığının pozitif anlamlı yordayıcısı konumundadır. Bunun yanında sosyal medya yorgunluğu üzerinde, can sıkıntısı ve sosyal medya bağımlılığı pozitif anlamlı etkisi bu araştırmada ulaşılan önemli bulgular arasında yer almaktadır.

Given the advantages of communication and information provided by social media, this choice is predictable. When users turn to social media to relieve boredom, they may overload the platform by using it excessively, which can lead to burnout. This burnout can cause the user to lose interest in the platform or no longer find it as appealing as before to relieve boredom. This study was conducted to reveal the relationship and effect between social media fatigue, boredom and social media addiction of university students. The quantitative research method was used in the research, which utilized the relational screening design. The research, which was conducted in the universe of state universities in Konya, was conducted with a sample of 412 volunteer participants. According to the research results, male participants use YouTube, Facebook and Telegram more than female participants. There is a positive significant relationship between the participants’ social media fatigue, boredom and social media addiction. Boredom is a positive significant predictor of social media addiction. In addition, the positive and significant effects of boredom and social media addiction on social media fatigue are among the important findings of this research. CR - Acar, N., & Gülnar, B. (2023).
