Pandemide Film Tercihleri: Psikolojik Dayanıklılık mı, Pandemi Gerçekliğinden Kaçış mı?

Öz

Geçen yıl COVİD-19 salgını döneminde pek çok insanın hayatı birçok yönden değişti, bunlardan biri de medya tüketimi oldu. “Evde kalın” tavsiyelerinin izleyicilerin film tercihlerini, film izleme alışkanlıklarını, belirli bir filmi seçme motivasyonlarını ve medya kullanımlarının bazı psikolojik değişkenlerle ilişkisini, öncelikle yalnızlık duygusu, özsaygı ve pandemik psikolojik dayanıklılarını etkileyip etkilemediğini doğrulamak istedik. Çevrimiçi anketin sonuçları katılımcıların pandemi döneminde öncesine kıyasla daha fazla film veya dizi izlediklerini ve çeşitli türleri tercih ettiklerini gösterdi. Pandemi öncesine kıyasla yayın platformlarını daha sık kullanıyorlar ve sinemaya daha az gidiyorlar. Katılımcılar filmleri öncesine göre daha çok hem eğlence amaçlı hem de gündelik gerçeklikten uzaklaşmanın bir yolu olarak izliyor. Film seçimlerinde oyuncular, filmin konusu ve öneriler daha az önem kazandı. Kendilerini belirli bir film türünün hayranı olarak tanımlama ile pandemik psikolojik dayanıklılık arasında da zayıf ama anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu. Sonuçlar, pandemik psikolojik dayanıklılığın yalnızlıkla orta düzeyde, olumsuz yönde ilişkili olduğunu gösteriyor. Pandemik psikolojik dayanıklılığının özsaygı ile zayıf da olsa pozitif bir ilişkisi de bulundu.

Film Preferences in the Pandemic: Psychological Resilience or an Escape from the Pandemic Reality?

Öz

During the last year, the one of COVID-19 pandemic, the lives of many people have changed in many ways, one of them is media consumption. We wanted to verify whether “stay at home” recommenda- tions influenced viewers’ preferences concerning films, their watching habits, motivation to choose a specific film and how media use is related to some psychological variables, mainly a sense of lone- liness, self-esteem and pandemic psychological resilience. Results of the online survey showed that participants watch more films or series during the pandemic than before and that they prefer various genres. They more often use streaming platforms and go to the cinema less frequently compared to the period before the pandemic. Participants watch films more for both entertainment and as a way to get away from everyday reality than before. Cast, film topic and recommendations became less important when choosing a film. There was also found a weak, however significant correlation between describing oneself as a fan of a specific film genre and the pandemic psychological resilience. Results show that the pandemic psychological resilience is moderately, negatively related to loneliness. A positive, however weak, relation of pandemic psychological resilience to self-esteem was also found.
