Abstract

Karanlık üçlü, üç kişilik özelliğinden oluşmaktadır. Bunlar, narsisizm, Makyavelizm ve psikopatidir. Sosyal medya bağımlılığı bireyin sosyal medyayı kullanım kontrolünü kaybetmesi ve bunun sonucunda bireyin akademik, sosyal ve duygusal yaşam alanlarına olumsuz yansıması olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Karanlık üçlü kişilik özellikleri sosyal medya bağımlılığı pozitif ilişkili olabilir. Bu çerçevede çalışmanın amacı karanlık üçlü ile sosyal medya bağımlılığı arasındaki ilişkinin meta-analiz ile incelenmesidir. Bu meta-analiz çalışması 15 ayrı çalışma ve 7064 katılımcıyı içermektedir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda narsisizm, Makyavelizm ve psikopati ile sosyal medya bağımlılığı arasında pozitif ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca karanlık üçlü ve sosyal medya bağımlılığı için kullanılan ölçek tiplerinin düzenleyici rolünü belirlemek için meta-regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda karanlık üçlü kişilik özellikleri ile sosyal medya bağımlılığı arasındaki ilişkide ölçek tipinin düzenleyici rolünün anlamlı olmadığı bulunmuştur. Yapılan analiz sonucunda heterojenlik anlamlı bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak karanlık üçlü kişilik modeli ile sosyal medya arasındaki ilişkide orta düzeyde pozitif yönde anlamlı etki büyüklüğü olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Dark triad and social media addiction: A meta-analysis

Abstract

The dark triad consists of three personality traits including narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Social media addiction is defined as individuals’ losing control over social media use and thus experiencing negative reflections on academic, social, and emotional life. Dark triad personality traits can be considered to be positively associated with social media addiction. This study aims to investigate the association between the dark triad and social media addiction using meta-analysis method. The meta-analysis includes a total of 7064 participants in 15 studies. Results indicated a positive association between the dark triad and social media addiction. The study also utilized meta-regression analysis to determine the moderator role of measures used for dark triad and social media addiction. The results showed that measures did not have a significant moderator role in the association between the dark triad and social media addiction. Analyses indicated high and significant heterogeneity. In conclusion, a medium-level, positive, and significant effect size was found in the association between the dark triad and social media addiction. The results of this study indicate the need to focus on personality factors for the prevention of and intervention for social media addiction.
