AB  - Problematic Internet use has beenan important topic for researchers. Though, (problematic) Internet use is amotivated action, underlying motivations are largely unexamined. Therefore, inthe current study, effects of self-regulatory orientations (i.e., promotion andprevention self-regulatory foci) with the mediating role of self-presentationtactics on problematic Internet use was examined on 225 university students whouse the Internet mostly for socialnetwork sites (SNSs). Portrait Values Questionnaire was used to determine participants’self-regulatory orientations (prevention focus and promotion focus).Self-Presentation Tactics Scale was used to determine the type of mainly used tactics(defensive and assertive) on SNSs. Problematic Internet Use Scale was used todetermine the consequences of their Internet use. Results revealed that neitherprevention focus, nor promotion focus orientations directly predict problematic Internet use. As expected, defensiveself-presentation tactics mediate the relationship between promotion focus andproblematic Internet use. Therefore, focusing on gains –rather than a loss- on the SNSs leads to more defensiveself-presentation tactics which in turn leads to problematic Internet use.

N2  - Problemli internet kullanımı araştırmacılar için önemli bir konuolagelmiştir. Ancak, (problemli) internet kullanımı motivasyonel bir davranıştürü olmasına ragmen, altında yatan motivasyonel süreçler genel olarakincelenmemiştir. Bu sebeple, bu çalışmada, interneti çoğunlukla sosyal medyasiteleri için kullanan 225 üniversite öğrencisinin problemli internetkullanımları, benlik düzenleme odaklarının (yaklaşmacı ve kaçınmacı odak)kendini sunumlama taktikleri (savunucu ve girişken) üzerinden aracı etkisiyleincelenmiştir. Benlik düzenleme odağını ölçmek için Portrait Değerler Anketi,kendini sunumlama taktikleri için Öz-Sunum Taktikleri Ölçeği ve internetkullanımı için Problemli Internet Kullanımı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, neyaklaşmacı ne de kaçıncaı odağının problemli internet kullanımı üzerindedoğrudan bir etkisnin olmadığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, beklendiği üzere,savunucu kendini sunumlama taktiklerinin yaklaşmacı odak ile problemli internetkullanımı arasında aracı etkisi olduğu gözlenmiştir. Buna göre, sosyal medyasitelerinde kayıplardan çok kazanımlara odaklanmanın daha savunucu taktiklerkullanılmasına yol açtığı, bunun da internetin daha problemli kullanılmasına nedenolduğu görülmüştür.
