Abstract

Teknoloji geliştikçe insanlar cihazlarla fazla zaman geçirmeye başladı. Günlük yaşamda teknolojinin giderek yaygınlaşan kullanımları teknoloji ve teknoloji bağımlılığı konuları hakkında yeni çalışmaların yapılmasını tetiklemiştir. Kişisel bir özellik olarak da değerlendirilmeye çalışılan bilişsel stil, yaşamın her alanında bireysel davranışları etkilemiştir. Günümüzde medya ve teknolojinin artan kullanımına paralel olarak, bu kişisel özelliğin medya ve teknoloji kullanımını nasıl etkilediği konusu ilgi çekmeye başlamıştır. Aslında insanların teknolojiyi kullanma şekilleri, bilişsel stillerini gösterir ya da onlardan etkilenir. Burada belirtilenlerden yola çıkılarak, bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin bilişsel stilleri ile teknoloji ve medya kullanımı ve medya ile ilgili tutumları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Katılımcılar sosyal bilimler bölümlerinden (psikoloji, sosyoloji ve felsefe bölümlerinde okuyan toplam 94 öğrenci) ve Bilgisayar Teknolojisi ve Bilgi Sistemleri (toplam 74 öğrenci) bölümündendi. Toplam 171 katılımcının 94'ü kadın, 77' si erkekti ve yaşları ise 19 ile 27 arasında değişiyordu (yaş ortalaması = 21.08; ss = 1.35). Katılımcılara bir bilgisayarda Bilişsel Stil Analizi (BSA) testinin bir formu verilmiş ve hemen ardından medya ve teknoloji kullanımı ve tutumları ölçeğini tamamlamaları istenmiştir. Analizler değerlendirildiğinde elde edilen sonuçlara göre sosyal bilimlerdeki bölümlerde (psikoloji, sosyoloji ve felsefe bölümlerinde) okuyan öğrencilerin sözel bilişsel stili kullanmaya, Bilgisayar Teknolojisi ve Bilgi Sistemleri bölümünde okuyan öğrencilerin ise görsel bilişsel stili kullanmaya daha fazla yöneldikleri görülmüştür. Ayrıca analitik bilişsel stili kullanmaya eğilimi olan katılımcıların, holistik bilişsel stili kullanmaya eğilimi olanlara göre daha fazla sosyal ağ arkadaşına sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Bulgular genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde, analitik bilişsel eğilimin medya ve teknoloji kullanımında sosyalleşme eğilimi ile ilişkili olduğunu, holistik bilişsel eğilimin ise bireysel eğilimlerle ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir.

Abstract

People began to spend more time with devices as technology developed. The increasingly widespread use of technology in daily life has triggered new studies on this subject. Evaluated as a personal attribute, cognitive style affects individual behavior in all aspects of life. Nowadays, in parallel to the increased use of media and technology, it has become of interest how this personal attribute affects the use of media and technology. Actually, the ways people use technology indicate or affected by their cognitive styles. This study aims at determining the relationships between the cognitive styles of university students and the manners they use technology and media. The student participants were selected from social science departments (total of 94 students from the departments of psychology, sociology, and philosophy) and the Computer Technology and Information Systems (CTIS) department (total of 74 students). Of the 171 participants, 94 were female and 77 were male and their ages ranged from 19 to 27 (mean = 21.08; sd = 1.35). The participants were given a parallel form of the Cognitive Style Analysis (CSA) test on a computer and then were asked to complete the media and technology usage and manners scale. According to the results of analyses, social science students were found to be leaning towards verbal cognitive style, whereas the CTIS students tended to the visual cognitive style. In addition, the participants with the analytic cognitive style preference were found to have more social network friends than those who leaned towards the holistic cognitive style. Overall findings indicate that analytic cognitive style is associated with tendency to socialize in using media and technology, whereas the holistic cognitive style is associated with individualistic tendencies.
