Amaç: Genç yetişkinlerde sosyal medya bağımlılığının ve sosyal medyanın yeme davranışı üzerindeki etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi.
Yöntemler: Çalışmaya herhangi bir sosyal medya platformunu kullanan 18-30 yaş arası genç yetişkin bireyler dahil edilmiştir. Araştırma verileri, Türkiye'nin yedi coğrafi bölgesinden çevrimiçi bir form kullanılarak sanal kartopu örnekleme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Katılımcıların sosyal medya bağımlılığını değerlendirmek için Bergen Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığı Ölçeği, sosyal medya kullanımının yeme davranışı üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmek için ise Sosyal Medyanın Yeme Davranışı Üzerindeki Etkileri Ölçeği kullanılmıştır.
Sonuçlar Çalışmaya 18-30 yaş aralığında sosyal medya kullanan 1198 kişi katılmıştır. En önemli bulgularımızdan biri, katılımcıların %48,7'sinin sosyal medya bağımlısı olmasıdır. Sosyal medya bağımlılığı olan bireylerin (43,1 ± 16,1), sosyal medya bağımlılığı olmayan bireylere (39,7 ± 20,3) kıyasla Sosyal Medyanın Yeme Davranışı Üzerindeki Etkileri Ölçeği puanları daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p=0,001).
Sonuç: Bulgularımızdan elde ettiğimiz sonuçlara göre; sosyal medya bağımlılığının bireylerin yeme davranışı üzerinde etkisi vardır.

Individuals with social media addiction (43,1 ± 16,1) were found to have higher scores on the Social Media Effects on Eating Behaviour Scale compared to individuals without social media addiction (39,7 ± 20,3) (p=0.001).
Conclusion: According to the results we obtained from our findings; social media addiction has an effect on the eating behaviour of individuals.
