Abstract

Ebeveynler tarafından sosyal medyada çocukları ile ilgili birçok ayrıntılı bilgiyi içeren video, fotoğraf, durum paylaşma pratiği yaygınlaşmaya başlamıştır. Sosyal ağ sitelerinde, giderek artan bir sıklıkta reşit olmayan çocukların yaşamlarına ait içerikler, anne baba olma sevinçleri ve zorlukları paylaşılmakta ve çocukların ifşa edilmesi yaygınlaşmaktadır. “Sharenting” olarak ifade edilen bu durum çocukların mahremiyeti ve gizliliğinin tehlike altına girmesine neden olmaktadır. Ebeveynlerin çocuklarına yönelik sosyal medya paylaşım eğilimlerinin belirlenmesinin amaçlandığı bu çalışmada, nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda Türkiye’de ikamet eden ve 13 yaşından küçük çocuk sahibi olan 20 sosyal medya kullanıcısı ebeveyn (10 erkek, 10 kadın) ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya hem anne hem de babaların dahil edilmesinde, erkeklerin de en az kadınlar kadar sosyal medyada vakit geçiriyor olması etkili olmuştur. Araştırma verileri ebeveynler ile yüz yüze görüşmelerle elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler tema analizi ile değerlendirilmiş analizin sonucunda, ebeveynlerin genel olarak paylaşım yapma sebeplerinin takdir edilme ve kendilerini mutlu hissetme olduğu görülmüştür. Ebeveynlerin çoğunluğu sharenting konusu ile ilgili gizlilik ayarlarını önemsediğini belirtmesine karşın, uygulamada bunu gerçekleştiremedikleri ortaya çıkmıştır.

Sharenting: An Assessment of Parents' Social Media Sharing Tendencies in Turkey

Abstract

Parents are increasingly posting videos, images, and status updates on social media that contain extensive information about their children. Content about the lives of underage children, and the happiness and challenges of being a parent is increasingly shared on social networking sites, and underage disclosure is becoming more common practice. This circumstance, referred to as "sharenting," threatens children's privacy and confidentiality. In this study, the qualitative research method was applied to find out how parents manage to share information about their children on social networks. In this context, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 parents who use social media (10 men and 10 women), live in Turkey, and have children under the age of 13. Men spend as much time on social media as women, so it proved beneficial to include both moms and fathers in the study. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with parents to collect research data. The gathered data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that the motives for sharing were generally to be appreciated and to feel happy. Although the majority of parents said they valued privacy settings, it appeared that in reality they were unable to implement them.
