Abstract

In recent years, developments in technology and the effects of these developments on human life are quite large. It is seen that future generations will be shaped by rapid advances in technology. Determining the habits of young people, especially in the use of the internet and social media, is important in terms of how the interaction between technology and people should be interpreted. In this research, it is tried to determine the social media behaviors of university students. The aim of the research is to determine the social media behaviors of Osmaniye Korkut Ata University students in and out of school. The questionnaire applied to the students was carried out online in the 2021 fall semester. 170 students participated in the research. The survey consists of three parts. In the first part, there is the demographic information section where the age and gender of the students are included. In the second part, there are questions about the out-of-school social media behaviors of university students. In the third part, there are questions about the in-school social media behaviors of university students. In the analysis part of the data, besides descriptive statistics, t-test for independent samples and one-way analysis of variance were used. In the study, frequency percentage distributions and arithmetic averages of university students participating in the research were calculated with descriptive statistics. In this study, in which the social media behaviors of in-school and out-of-school university students were examined, it was seen that the views of the participants were not significant according to the gender and age variables.
