Kavakli, Mehmet; Temel, Ahmet
Bu çalışmada Ait Olma İhtiyacı Ölçeği’nin (AOİÖ) Türkçeye uyarlanması ve psikometrik özelliklerinin Türkiye örnekleminde incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla iki farklı çalışma yürütülmüştür. Birinci çalışmada ölçeğin faktör yapısı incelenerek geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Birinci çalışmanın örneklemini 453 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Ait Olma İhtiyacı Ölçeği’nin yakın bir kavram olan genel aidiyet ile teorik olarak ilişkili ancak konsept olarak farklı bir ölçme aracı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca ait olma ihtiyacının görmezden gelinme, kişiliğin duygusal tutarsızlık, uyumluluk boyutları ile pozitif yönde dışadönüklük ile ise negatif yönde anlamlı ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. İkinci çalışmada ise ölçeğin birinci çalışmada elde edilen faktör yapısına ilişkin doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yürütülmüştür. İkinci çalışmanın örneklemi ise 347 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Ait Olma İhtiyacı Ölçeği’nin Türkçe formunun ölçeğin orijinal çalışmasına benzer şekilde tek faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğu ve psikometrik özelliklerinin yeterli olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Her iki çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar Ait Olma İhtiyacı Ölçeği’nin psikometrik özelliklerinin Türkiye popülasyonu için kabul edilebilir olduğunu göstermiştir.

In today's world, the improper use of smartphones has become a growing problem. Such usage might be problematic as people see it as an escape from threats to their basic psychological needs caused by ostracism. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between ostracism and the risk of smartphone addiction. In addition, a moderated mediation model was explored to see whether nomophobia moderated the mediating role of resilience in the association between ostracism and the risk of smartphone addiction. The sample consisted of 320 young adults, ranging from 18 to 31 years. Data was gathered by using the Ostracism Experience Scale, the Brief Resilience Scale, Nomophobia Scale and Smartphone Addiction Scale. Results indicated a positive association between ostracism and the risk of smartphone addiction, and this association was mediated by resilience. While ostracism increases the risk of smartphone addiction, resilience emerges as a key ability in mitigating this undesired association. Furthermore, nomophobia moderated the mediating impact of resilience in the relationship between ostracism and the risk of smartphone addiction. Increased nomophobia put this mitigating influence of resilience in the shade. Resilience buffers the undesired relationship between social kiss of death (ostracism) and the risk of smartphone addiction in young individuals, but nomophobia frustrates this functional role of resilience. These findings were discussed in light of the relevant literature.

Objective: Social media usage is increasing gradually and the websites that enable social interaction may influence people's loneliness and depression levels. The aim of the present research was to examine the multiple mediating roles of self-esteem and happiness in the relationship between loneliness and depression. Method: The study sample was composed of 409 Facebook and Instagram users. Data were collected by using personal information form, Beck Depression Inventory, Oxford Happiness Scale-Short Form, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and UCLA Loneliness Scale. Correlation analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between variables. Multiple mediation analysis was conducted to determine the mediating roles of self-esteem and happiness in the relationship between loneliness and depression. Results: The results suggest that self-esteem and happiness, indeed, have mediating roles in the relationship between loneliness and depression, and multiple mediation models were found to be statistically significant. The frequency of accessing Instagram was positively associated with depression and loneliness. Facebook users had higher self-esteem levels compared to Instagram users. Discussion: In conclusion, the relationship between loneliness and depression was found to be significantly mediated by self-esteem and happiness. Increased frequency of access to Instagram every day was found to increases the level of depression and loneliness. Additionally, Instagram users were found to have lower self-esteem compared to Facebook users.
