Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine whether adolescent’s phubbing is predicted by parental phubbing and empathy variables, and to examine whether adolescent’s phubbing differs according to gender, class level, smartphone ownership status, online classes, and training, as well as daily smartphone usage time. For this purpose, the study group consists total of 1019 students, 734 girls and 285 boys, from 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in the Kestel and Gürsu districts of Bursa in the 2020 – 2021 academic year, selected by the appropriate sampling method. The research data were obtained by Generic Scale of Phubbing (GPS), Generic Scale of Being Phubbed (GPS) and KA-SI Empathic Tendency Scale Adolescent Form. Within the scope of the research, Independent-Samples t Test and One-Way Variance Analysis (ANOVA) were used to determine the difference of adolescent phubbing between groups. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis was used to determine the level of adolescent phubbing predicted by parental phubbing and empathy variables. As a result of the research, female students compared to male students; students with smartphone had higher overall phubbing scores than students without smartphone. 5th grade students had lower average scores of being phubber than other grades. Participants with daily phone usage time of 1-2 hours had lower overall phubbing scores than with 3, 4 and 5 hours. According to the results of the regression analysis, parental phubbing and empathy variables were determined to be important precursors of adolescent phubbing and explained 13.5% of the change in adolescent phubbing. The findings provided important clues in planning and implementing psychological counseling and guidance services for middle and high school students.

Ergen Sosyotelist Davranışlarının (Phubbing) Yordayıcıları Olarak Ebeveyn Sosyotelizmine Maruz Kalma ve Empati

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı ergen sosyotelist davranışının ebeveyn sosyotelizmine maruz kalma ve empati değişkenleri tarafından yordanıp yordanmadığını saptamak ve ergen sosyotelist davranışının cinsiyet, sınıf düzeyi, akıllı telefona sahip olma durumu, canlı dersler ve eğitimler haricinde günlük akıllı telefon kullanım süresine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2020 – 2021 eğitim öğretim yılında Bursa’nın Kestel ve Gürsu ilçelerinde öğrenim gören 5, 6, 7, 8 ve 9. sınıf öğrencilerinden uygun örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 734’ü kız, 285’i erkek olmak üzere toplamda 1019 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verileri Genel Sosyotelist Olma Ölçeği (GSO), Genel Sosyotelizme Maruz Kalma Ölçeği (GSMK) ve KASİ Empatik Eğilim Ölçeği Ergen Formu ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında ergen sosyotelist davranışının gruplar arasındaki farkını tespit etmek için Bağımsız Örneklemler İçin t Testi ve Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi (ANOVA) kullanılmıştır. Ergen sosyotelist davranışının ebeveyn sosyotelizmine maruz kalma ve empati değişkenleri tarafından ne düzeyde yordandığını tespit etmek için Çoklu Doğrusal Regresyon Analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında yapılan fark istatistiklerine göre kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre; akıllı telefona sahip olan öğrencilerin akıllı telefona sahip olmayan öğrencilere göre genel sosyotelist olma toplam puanları daha yüksek bulunmuştur. 5. sınıf öğrencilerin diğer sınıf düzeylerine göre genel sosyotelist olma ortalama puanları daha düşük bulunmuştur. Günlük telefon kullanma süresi 1 saat ve 2 saat olan katılımcıların günlük telefon kullanma süresi 3, 4 ve 5 saat olan katılımcılara göre genel sosyotelist olma toplam puanları daha düşük bulunmuştur. Yapılan regresyon analizi sonucuna göre ebeveyn sosyotelizmine maruz kalma ve empati değişkenleri ergenlerin sosyotelist davranışının önemli yordayıcıları olduğu belirlenmiş ve ergen sosyotelist davranışındaki değişimin %13.5’ini açıklamaktadır. Bulgular, ortaokul ve lise öğrencilerine yönelik psikolojik danışma ve rehberlik hizmetlerini planlama ve uygulama önemli ipuçları sağlamıştır.
