Along with being a common meeting point of almost every gender and age, the Internet and social media as its important output, have different impacts on different gender and age groups. This research discusses the effect of social media, which is an important part of daily life activities, on two trends that step forth for individuals to make sense of life; on consumer ethnocentrism and cosmopolitanism. Afterwards the impacts of social media usage on consumer ethnocentrism and cosmopolitanism attitude are analysed with structural equation modeling within the context of age and gender. The research is carried out with 690 participants that are reached through the convenience sampling method. In the study it is identified that the usage of social media has a negative (inversely proportional) impact on consumer ethnocentrism whereas it has a positive (directly proportional) effect on cosmopolitanism. It is also found that the age variable has a partial effect on these impacts.
