Abstract

In the age of technology, the internet and social media platforms have profoundly transformed various aspects of life, from interpersonal communication to individuals’ daily routines, sense of self, and lifestyles. This study explores how individuals interact with these platforms in the digital age, highlighting the emerging fears and negative consequences associated with their use. Social media use has been shown to trigger psychosocial effects, such as FoMO ('Fear of Missing Out'), addiction, jealousy, feelings of inadequacy, and social exclusion. Additionally, the dark side of social media (DoSM)—which includes cyberbullying, privacy violations, misinformation, and its role as a stressor (as described in the Stressor-Strain-Outcomes model)—contributes to the rise of contemporary fears and anxieties. The study analyzes problematic internet use, a significant issue in Türkiye, and addresses both the psychological and physical consequences of individuals' engagement with social media. In conclusion, while social media facilitates communication and access to information, excessive use can lead to psychosocial and physical issues. This study sheds light on how social media addiction and emerging digital-age anxieties impact individuals' quality of life, underscoring the necessity of conscious and balanced digital usage strategies.

Teknoloji Çağında İnternet ve Sosyal Medya Kaynaklı Yeni Nesil Korkulara İlişkin Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Teknoloji çağında, internet ve sosyal medya platformları, kişilerarası iletişimden bireylerin gündelik hayatına, benliklerine ve rutinlerine kadar pek çok alanda köklü değişiklikler yaratmıştır. Bu çalışma, teknoloji çağında bireylerin internet ve sosyal medyayla olan ilişkilerini ve bu platformların bireylerde yarattığı yeni nesil korkular ile olumsuz etkileri incelemektedir. Sosyal medya kullanımının bireylerde “FoMO” (Gelişmeleri Kaçırma Korkusu), sosyal medya bağımlılığı, kıskançlık, yetersizlik ve dışlanmışlık hissi gibi psikososyal etkiler yarattığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, sosyal medyanın karanlık yüzü (DoSM) olarak adlandırılan siber zorbalık, mahremiyet ihlalleri, Stres-Gerginlik-Sonuç (Stressor-Strain-Outcomes) ilişkisiyle dezenformasyon ve bir stres tetikleyici olarak işlev görmesi bireylerde yeni nesil korkular ve kaygıların artmasına neden olmaktadır. Türkiye açısından da önemli bir konu olan sorunlu internet kullanımını analiz eden çalışma, sosyal medya ile kurulan ilişkinin hem psikolojik hem de fiziksel sonuçlarına değinmektedir. Sonuç olarak, sosyal medya bireyler için iletişim ve bilgiye erişim kolaylığı sağlasa da, aşırı kullanımı psikososyal ve fiziksel sorunlara yol açabilmektedir. Çalışma, sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve yeni nesil korkuların bireylerin yaşam kalitesine etkisini ele almakta ve dijital dünyada bilinçli kullanım stratejilerinin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
