The aim of this study is to examine to what extent psychological flexibility and problem solving skills variables predict social media addiction levels of adults. The research group of the study consists of 366 adults, 177 (48.4%) male and 189 (51.6%) female, living in the Mediterranean Region in 2022. The average age of the research group is 44.08. “Social Media Addiction Scale - Adult Form”, “Psychological Resilience Scale”, “Scale for Adults' Problem Solving Skills” and “Personal Information Form” have been used as data collection tools. In the study, the data have been analyzed with the multiple linear regression analysis (stepwise) method. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the variables of “psychological flexibility” in the first place and “problem-solving skills” in the second place have significantly predicted social media addiction in adults.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, psikolojik esneklik ve problem çözme becerileri değişkenlerinin yetişkinlerin sosyal medya bağımlılığı düzeylerini ne kadar yordadığının incelenmesidir. Çalışmanın araştırma grubunu 2022 yılında Akdeniz Bölgesinde yaşayan 177 (%48,4) erkek, 189 (%51,6) kadın olmak üzere toplam 366 yetişkin oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma grubuna ilişkin yaş ortalaması 44,08’dir. Veri toplama araçları olarak “Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığı Ölçeği - Yetişkin Formu”, “Psikolojik Esneklik Ölçeği”, “Yetişkinler İçin Problem Çözme Becerileri Ölçeği” ve “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada veriler çoklu doğrusal regresyon analiz (adımsal) yöntemi ile çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, yetişkinlerde sosyal medya bağımlılığını birinci sırada “psikolojik esneklik” ve ikinci sırada “problem çözme becerileri” değişkenlerinin anlamlı düzeyde yordadığı belirlenmiştir.
