Phubbing ve yakın ilişkilerde yalnızlık arasındaki ilişkide sosyal bağlılığın aracı rolü

Abstract

Bu çalışma, phubbing davranışının bireylerin sosyal bağlılık düzeyi ve yakın ilişkilerde deneyimledikleri yalnızlık üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Mobil teknolojilerin sosyal ilişkiler üzerindeki artan etkisi, phubbing, sosyal bağlılık ve yakın ilişkilerde yalnızlık arasındaki dinamikleri ele almayı araştırma açısından önemli kılmaktadır. Araştırmada, sosyal bağlılığın phubbing ile yakın ilişkilerde yalnızlık arasındaki ilişkide aracı rol oynayıp oynamadığı değerlendirilmiştir. Türkiye genelinde 18–48 yaş aralığında yer alan 406 katılımcıdan (218 kadın, 188 erkek) elde edilen veriler çevrimiçi anket yoluyla toplanmış ve SPSS 26.0 programı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sürecinde Bağımsız Örneklemler t-Testi, Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi (ANOVA), Pearson Korelasyon Analizi ve Hiyerarşik Regresyon Analizi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, sosyal bağlılık, phubbing ve yakın ilişkilerde yalnızlık değişkenlerinin bazı demografik değişkenlere göre anlamlı farklılıklar gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Regresyon analizine göre, sosyal bağlılık hem phubbing hem de yakın ilişkilerde yalnızlık üzerinde negatif yönde; phubbing ise yalnızlık üzerinde pozitif yönde anlamlı bir yordayıcıdır. Ayrıca, sosyal bağlılığın phubbing ile yakın ilişkilerde yalnızlık arasındaki ilişkide kısmi aracı bir rol üstlendiği belirlenmiştir.

The mediating role of social connectedness in the relationship between phubbing and loneliness in close relationships

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of phubbing behavior on individuals’ levels of social connectedness and the experience of loneliness within close relationships. The growing impact of mobile technologies on social relationships highlights the importance of examining the dynamics among phubbing, social connectedness, and loneliness in close relationships from a research perspective. Specifically, the mediating role of social connectedness in the relationship between phubbing and loneliness in close relationships was assessed. The study sample consisted of 406 participants (218 women, 188 men) aged between 18 and 48 from various regions across Turkey. Data were collected through an online survey and analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Independent Samples t-Test, One-Way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Analysis, and Hierarchical Regression Analysis were conducted. The findings revealed that the variables of social connectedness, phubbing, and loneliness in close relationships significantly differed across certain demographic factors. Regression analyses indicated that social connectedness negatively predicted both phubbing and loneliness in close relationships, while phubbing positively predicted loneliness. Furthermore, social connectedness was found to partially mediate the relationship between phubbing and loneliness in close relationships.
