Abstract

The research examined the environmental factors of depression, anxiety and stress with a special focus on excessive social network uploading, which has become popular recently and has a negative consequence of new communication applications. The sample of the research, structured in a quantitative pattern, consists of 483 participants, 225 women and 258 men. In the study, data was collected online from people aged 18 and over using the platform throughout Turkey. Data were collected with the Excessive Social Network Uploading (ESNU) Scale depression, anxiety, stress scale (DAS-21) and socio-demographic information form. Descriptive analyzes and parametric tests were used in the research. The sample's exposure to excessive social network overload was at a moderate level, and depression, anxiety and stress levels were distributed at different points. Regression analysis showed that depression, anxiety and stress were associated with excessive social network uploading. Researchers recommend that these 2 variables be examined in different samples and different models in future studies.

Abstract

Araştırma depresyon, anksiyete ve stresin çevresel faktörlerini yeni iletişim uygulamalarının son dönemlerde popülerleşen ve olumsuz bir sonucu olan aşırı sosyal ağ yüklenmesi özelinde incelemiştir. Nicel desende yapılandırılan araştırmanın örneklemi 225’i kadın, 258’i erkek olmak üzere 483 katılımcıdan oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada veriler tüm Türkiye’de platform kullanan 18 yaş ve üstü kişilerden çevrim içi toplanmıştır. Veriler, aşırı sosyal ağ yüklenmesi ölçeği (ASAYÖ), depresyon, anksiyete, stres ölçeği (DAS-21) ve sosyo-demografik bilgi formu ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmada betimleyici analizler ile parametrik testler kullanılmıştır. Örneklemin aşırı sosyal ağ yüklenmesine maruz kalma durumu orta seviyede, depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeyleri ise farklı puanlarda dağılım göstermiştir. Yapılan regresyon analizi depresyon, anksiyete ve stresin aşırı sosyal ağ yüklenmesi ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Araştırmacılar gelecekte yapılabilecek çalışmalarda bu 2 değişkenin farklı örneklemlerde ve farklı modellerde incelenmesini önermektedir.
