Sosyal Medya Yeni Trendi: ASMR Videoları, ASMR Deneyimleri ile Yalnızlık İlişkisi

Year 2024, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 101 - 110, 25.08.2024

Abstract

Sosyal medyanın yeni trendi olarak görülen Otonom Duyusal Meridyen Tepkisi (ASMR) videolarının insanların ruh hâli üzerinde oldukça olumlu etkileri olduğu ileri sürülmektedir. Beyin masajı olarak da bilinen ASMR, karıncalanma hissi, gevşeme ve duygulanımdaki değişiklikler ile karakterize bir olgudur. Bu his fısıltılı konuşma ve görsel ve işitsel tetikleyiciler gibi belirli uyaranlarla tetiklenebilmektedir. Bazı araştırmalar, yüksek stres ve yalnızlık düzeyine sahip bireylerin ASMR videolarından daha rahatlatıcı bir etki yaşadığını göstermektedir. Bu doğrultuda 18-25 yaş aralığındaki gençlerin yalnızlık düzeyleri ile ASMR deneyimleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla 51 katılımcıya “UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği- Kısa Form” verilmiş, ardından ASMR videosu izletilerek, ASMR deneyimlerini değerlendirmek üzere araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanmış “ASMR Deneyimleri Değerlendirme Anketi” uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlarda gençlerin yalnızlık düzeyleri ile ASMR deneyimleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. ASMR deneyimleri yalnızlık düzeyine göre anlamlı farklılaşma göstermemiştir. ASMR videolarına yönelik ifade edilen olumlu bildirimlerin aksine, bu araştırmada katılımcıların %49'u ASMR videolarını bir daha asla izlemek istemediklerini ve %43,1'i rahatlama duygusu hissetmediklerini ifade etmiştir. Çalışmanın gelecek araştırmalara kaynak niteliğinde olması hedeflenmiştir.

SOCIAL MEDIA'S NEW TREND: ASMR VIDEOS, RELATIONSHIP OF ASMR EXPERIENCES AND LONELINESS

Year 2024, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 101 - 110, 25.08.2024

Abstract

ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) videos are currently trending on social media, and they're said to have an outstanding impact on people's moods. ASMR, also referred to as brain massaging, is a psychological phenomenon characterized by tingling sensations, relaxation, and mood shifts. This feeling can be triggered by certain stimuli, such as whispered speech and visual and auditory triggers. Some studies show that individuals with high levels of stress and loneliness experience a more relaxing effect from ASMR videos. In this regard, it was aimed at examining the relationship between the loneliness levels and ASMR experiences of young people between the ages of 18 and 25. For this purpose, the "UCLA Loneliness Scale—Short Form" was given to 51 participants, then the ASMR video was watched and the “ASMR Experiences Evaluation Form” prepared by the researchers was applied to evaluate their ASMR experiences. The results found no significant relationship between young people's loneliness levels and ASMR experiences. ASMR experiences did not differ significantly according to loneliness level. Contrary to the positive statements expressed about ASMR videos, 49% of the participants in this study stated that they never wanted to watch ASMR videos again, and 43.1% stated that they did not feel a sense of relief. It is hoped that the study will serve as a resource for future research.
