Bu açıdan seçmenin siyasal rızasının anlaşılması, demokrasilerde iktidar hedefleyen parti veya adaylar için kritik öneme sahiptir.  Bu bağlamda ele alınan çalışmanın amacı, kişisel siyasal hedefler, dijital okuryazarlık ve sosyal medyada siyasal katılım örüntülerinin genç seçmenlerin siyasal rızasını yordama durumunu ortaya koymaktır. İlişkisel tarama modeliyle yapılan çalışmanın verileri, SPSS paket programı ile frekans, güvenirlik, korelasyon ve regresyon analizlerine tabi tutulmuştur. Analizler sonucu, bu örüntülerin gençlerin siyasal rızasını önemli oranda yordadığı görülmüştür. Başka bir ifadeyle bu örüntülerin gençlerin siyasal rızasının oluşumunda etkili olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Bu şekilde gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın, gelecekte benzer konularda çalışma yapacak olan araştırmacılara ve kurumlara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.</p></abstract>

                            <p>In contemporary democracies, the most important factor determining political power is the voting process carried out by voters with their free will. From this perspective, understanding the political consent of voters is of critical importance for parties or candidates seeking power in democracies.  In this context, the aim of this study is to reveal how personal political goals, digital literacy and political participation patterns in social media predict the political consent of young voters. The data of the study, which was conducted with the relational survey model, were subjected to frequency, reliability, correlation and regression analyses with the SPSS package program. As a result of the analyses, it was found that these patterns significantly predicted the political consent of young people. In other words, it is understood that these patterns are effective in the formation of young people&#039;s political consent. It is thought that this study will contribute to researchers and institutions that will conduct studies on similar issues in the future.</p></trans-abstract>
