AKTİF OLARAK FİTNESS YAPAN BİREYLERDE, SOSYAL MEDYA BAĞIMLILIĞI, SOSYAL MEDYA TÜKENMİŞLİĞİ VE EGZERSİZ BAĞLILIĞI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Çağdaş toplumda, dijital teknolojilerin yaygın entegrasyonu; bağlantı, bilgi yayma ve kendini ifade etme konusunda benzeri görülmemiş yollar açmıştır. Bununla birlikte, bireyler kendilerini çevrimiçi etkileşimlerin karmaşık ağına giderek daha fazla kaptırdıkça, uyumsuz davranışlarla ilgili endişeler akademik ilgi görmeye başlamıştır. Bu söylem birbiriyle ilişkili üç olguda birleşiyor: sosyal medya bağımlılığı, egzersiz bağımlılığı ve sporcularda ortaya çıkan sosyal medya tükenmişliği kavramı. Titiz bir akademik araştırmaya dayanan bu olgular, teknoloji, fiziksel aktivite ve zihinsel sağlık arasındaki karmaşık dinamiklerin altını çiziyor. Sosyal medya bağımlılığının, egzersiz bağımlılığının ve fitness yapan bireylerde tükenmişliğin benzersiz tezahürünün incelikli boyutlarını araştıran bu tartışmanın amacı aktif olarak fitness yapan bireylerde, sosyal medya bağımlılığı, sosyal medya tükenmişliği ve egzersiz bağlılığı arasındaki ilişkinin incelemektir. Araştırmamızda ölçek sistemleri 3 bölümden oluşurken bu bölümler; kişisel bilgi formu, sosyal medya bağımlılık ölçeği, sosyal medya tükenmişlik ölçeği ve egzersiz bağımlılığı ölçeğidir. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılırken, verilerin analizi Araştırma verilerinin analizinde IBM SPSS 26 istatistik programı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizleri sonucunda, ise katılımcıların sosyal medya bağımlılıkları ile egzersiz bağımlılıkları arasında anlamlı bir farklılığın olmadığı tespit edilirken, fitness ile aktif olarak uğraşan bireylerin sosyal medya kullanımı konusunda bilinçli hareket ettikleri söylenebilir. Ayrıca katılımcıların egzersiz bağımlıklarını ölçmek amacı ile uygulanan egzersiz bağımlılığı ölçeği neticesinde katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğu (n=334) egzersiz bağımlılığına dair belirtiler göstermesine rağmen egzersiz bağımlısı olmadıkları sonucuna varılmıştır.

Investigation Of The Relationship Between Social Media Addiction, Social Media Burnout and Exercise Commitment In Individuals Actively Engaged in Fitness

Abstract

In contemporary society, the widespread integration of digital technologies; It has opened unprecedented avenues for connection, information dissemination, and self-expression. However, as individuals become increasingly immersed in the complex web of online interactions, concerns about maladaptive behavior have begun to receive academic attention. This discourse converges on three interrelated phenomena: social media addiction, exercise addiction, and the concept of social media burnout in athletes. These facts, based on rigorous academic research, underscore the complex dynamics between technology, physical activity, and mental health. The purpose of this discussion, which investigates the subtle dimensions of social media addiction, exercise addiction and the unique manifestation of burnout in individuals who engage in fitness, is to examine the relationship between social media addiction, social media burnout and exercise adherence in individuals who actively engage in fitness. In our research, scale systems consist of 3 parts; personal information form, social media addiction scale, social media burnout scale and exercise addiction scale. While the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the research, IBM SPSS 26 statistical program was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the analysis of the data obtained, it was determined that there was no significant difference between the participants' social media addictions and exercise addictions, and it can be said that individuals who are actively involved in fitness act consciously about social media use. In addition, as a result of the exercise addiction scale applied to measure the exercise addiction of the participants, it was concluded that although the majority of the participants (n = 334) showed symptoms of exercise addiction, they were not exercise addicts.
