Teknoloji Bağımlılığı ve Aile İçi İletişim İlişkisi Üzerine Teorik ve Uygulamalı Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Günümüzde artan teknolojik faaliyetler insanları özellikle de gençleri oldukça
etkilemektedir. Teknolojinin artması ve seçeneklerin çoğalmasıyla teknoloji bağımlılığı
artık davranışsal bağımlılıkların içinde oldukça önemli bir yer tutmaktadır.
Bu davranışların bağımlılığa dönüşmemesi için toplumun ve özellikle ailelerin
rolü oldukça önemlidir. Çevrimdışı faaliyetlerin arttırılması ve yüz yüze iletişimin
geliştirilmesi gerekmektedir. İyi bir aile içi iletişim teknoloji bağımlılığında azalmayı
beraberinde getirebilmektedir.

Çalışma iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın ilk bölümümde teknoloji bağımlılığı
ve aile içi iletişim kavramları ayrıntılı şekilde incelenmiştir. İkinci bölümde
ise, teknoloji bağımlılığı ölçeği ve aile içi iletişim ölçeğine ait hipotezlerin
sınanması ve analizlerin yorumlanmasına yer verilmiştir. Bu amaçla Kırıkkale
Üniversitesi Meslek Yüksekokulu’nda 436 öğrenciye online(çevrimiçi) anket çalışması
yapılmıştır. Anketlerin analizinde korelasyon ve basit doğrusal regresyon
analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler sonucunda teknoloji bağımlılığı ve
aile içi iletişim arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur.
