Investigation Psychological Factors Effecting the Phubbing Behavior of Young Adults with Different Structural Equation Models

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the serial mediating roles of shyness, interaction anxiety, interaction anxiety, and true self-perception on the internet in the relationship between self-esteem and phubbing. A total of 646 people, including 391 women (60.5%) and 255 men (39.5%), participated in the study. The ages of the study participants ranged from 18 to 45 (mean= 28.11, SD= 8.25) data from the research were collected with the Self-Esteem Scale, Interaction Anxiety Scale, General Phubbing Scale, Revised Buss and Check Shyness Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale- Short Form, and True Me on the Net Scale. The descriptive statistics of the data collected in the study were calculated and correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationships between the variables. Mediation analyses in the research were made by using Hayes process macro-Model 6. As a result of serial mediation analysis, it is seen that the total effect of self-esteem on phubbing is significant. In addition, it was found that shyness, loneliness, interaction anxiety, and true self-perception on the internet had a significant direct effect on phubbing. Finally, shyness, interaction anxiety, loneliness, and true self-perception on the internet were found to have significant multiple serial mediating roles in the relationship between self-esteem and phubbing.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, benlik saygısı ve phubbing arasındaki ilişkide utangaçlık, etkileşim kaygısı, etkileşim kaygısı ve internette gerçek benlik algısının seri aracı rollerini incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışmaya 391 kadın (%60.5) ve 255 erkek (%39.5) olmak üzere toplam 646 kişi katılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılanların yaşları 18 ile 45 arasında değişmektedir (ortalama= 28.11, SD= 8.25). Araştırmanın verileri Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği, Etkileşim Kaygısı Ölçeği, Genel Phubbing Ölçeği, Revize Edilmiş Buss ve Çek Çekingenlik Ölçeği, UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği- Kısa Formu ve İnternette Gerçek Ben Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmada toplanan verilerin betimsel istatistikleri hesaplanmış ve değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek için korelasyon analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırmada aracılık analizleri süreç Hayes makro-Model 6 kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Seri aracılık analizi sonucunda benlik saygısının phubbing üzerindeki toplam etkisinin anlamlı olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca utangaçlık, yalnızlık, etkileşim kaygısı ve internette gerçek benlik algısının phubbing üzerinde anlamlı bir doğrudan etkiye sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Son olarak, utangaçlık, etkileşim kaygısı, yalnızlık ve internette gerçek benlik algısının benlik saygısı ve phubbing arasındaki ilişkide anlamlı çoklu seri aracılık rollerine sahip olduğu bulunmuştur.
