Abstract

Social media is a medium that removes time and space limitations. It has gained popularity over the last two decades, especially among young adults. With the growing popularity of social media, researchers have turned their attention to study social media addiction, which is a new type of addiction. Although addiction is generally associated with legal problems and rule violations in quantitative research, the qualitative research on this subject is limited. The aim of this study was to contribute to the literature through elaborating the experiences of social media addicts related to rules and boundaries. For this purpose, the Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which is a qualitative research method, was chosen. Accordingly, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants. The obtained data were analyzed in accordance with IPA guidelines. As a result of the analysis, two themes emerged: (1) social media as a medium of limitlessness and (2) positioning with respect to the authority figures. Emergent themes were discussed within the framework of Lacanian Psychoanalytic theory.

Sosyal Medya Bağımlılarının Kurallarla ve Sınırlarla İlişkisi Üzerine Nitel bir Araştırma

Abstract

Sosyal medya zaman ve mekân konularında esneklik kazandıran ve insan bedeninin doğal sınırlamalarını ortadan kaldıran araçlardan bir tanesi olarak düşünülebilir. Son yirmi yılda özellikle genç yetişkinler arasında popülerlik kazandığı söylenebilir. Sosyal medyanın yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte araştırmacılar yönünü yeni bir bağımlılık türü olan sosyal medya bağımlılığını çalışmaya çevirmişlerdir. Bağımlılık nicel araştırmalarda genellikle yasal sorunlar ve kural ihlalleri ile ilişkilendirilse de bu konudaki nitel araştırma literatürü kısıtlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı sosyal medya bağımlılarının kurallarla ve sınırlarla ilişkili deneyimlerini anlamaya çalışarak literatüre katkı sağlamaktır. Bu amaçla nitel bir araştırma yöntemi olan Yorumlayıcı Fenomenolojik Analiz yönteminden faydalanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda altı katılımcı ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmeler sonunda elde edilen veriler analize tabi tutulmuştur. Analiz sonucunda ortaya çıkan iki tema (1) sınırsızlık alanı olarak algılanan sosyal medya ve (2) otorite figürlerine göre konumlanma olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Bu temalar Lacanyen Psikanalitik teori çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.
