Abstract

Web teknolojilerinde meydana gelen gelişmelerle birlikte akıllı telefonlar, günlük yaşamın ayrılmaz bir parçası haline gelirken; kullanıcılara farklı amaç ve gereksinimler için çeşitli fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte söz konusu teknolojilerin neden olabileceği sorunlar ve bireyler üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri çeşitlilik göstermekte olup, sosyotelizm tüm bu sorun durumları ile birlikte ele alındığında tamamlayıcı ve sorunları daha bütünsel ortaya koyan, çağın teknolojik bağımlılığı olarak ifade edilebilecek bir kavram olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Sosyotelizm, sosyal bir etkileşim sırasında cep telefonlarının aşırı kullanımı ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. Sosyotelizmin yordayıcıları ve bireyler üzerinde ne gibi etkilere neden olabileceği incelendiğinde çarpıcı sonuçlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Cep telefonlarının aşırı kullanımı, göz temasını azaltırken diğer bireylerle bağlantı kurmayı zorlaştırmaktadır. Dolayısıyla kişiler arası ilişkileri olumsuz etkileyerek sosyal ilişkilere zarar vermektedir. Her geçen gün daha fazla bireyin birer problemli cep telefonu kullanıcısı haline gelmesinin, bu durumun olası sonuçları hakkında birtakım endişeleri ortaya çıkarması kaçınılmazdır. Bu bağlamda sosyotelizm, önemle ele alınması gereken görece yeni bir kavramdır. Bu çalışmada bu kavramı daha derinlemesine tanımlamak ve olası etkilerini ortaya koymak amacıyla sosyotelizm üzerine değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuştur.

THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADDICTION OF THE ERA: PHUBBING (A CONCEPTUAL OVERVIEW)

Abstract

With the developments in web technologies, mobile phones have become an integral part of daily life and also offer users various opportunities for different purposes and needs. However, the problems that these technologies can cause and their negative effects on individuals vary, and when phubbing is considered together with all these situations, it has emerged as a concept that can be expressed as the technological addiction of the era, which is complementary and reveals the problems more holistically. Phubbing is associated with the excessive use of mobile phones during a social interaction. When the predictors of phubbing and its effects on individuals are examined, striking results emerge. Excessive use of mobile phones reduces eye contact and makes it difficult to connect with other individuals. Therefore, it negatively affects interpersonal relations and harms social relations. It is inevitable that more and more individuals become problematic mobile phone users, raising some concerns about the possible consequences of this situation. In this context, phubbing is a relatively new concept that needs to be taken seriously. In this study, evaluations on phubbing were also made in order to define this concept in more depth and to reveal its possible effect.
