“…The findings of this study supported a negative relationship between social media addiction and life satisfaction, which is inconsistent with the conclusion of other documented studies that showed a strong positive correlation between life satisfaction and social media addiction, demonstrating that social media addiction positively influences life satisfaction (Zhan et al, 2016;Mohammed, 2020). Other studies showed a negative relationship between social media addiction and life satisfaction, in line with the findings of this study (Satici & Uysal, 2015;Błachnio et al, 2016;Longstreet & Brooks, 2017;Sahin, 2017;Adel Eladl, 2021).…”

Background: Although research on pharmacy students remains limited, this study is the first of its kind in the field of pharmacy in Turkey and aims to investigate the impact of social media addiction on depression and life satisfaction among pharmacy students. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study of 597 students was conducted between September and October 2023 at the pharmacy faculty of a university in Turkey. Three instruments were used to collect the necessary data: the socio-demographic data form, Social Media Addiction Scale, Penate Basic Depression Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale. All of these were combined into a single questionnaire. Results: A positive but weak yet significant correlation existed between pharmacy students' total Social Media Addiction Scale (SMAS) score and their total Basic Depression Scale (BDS) score. Conversely, a negative but weak yet significant relationship was observed between pharmacy students' total SMAS and Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS) total scores. According to the results of multiple linear regression analysis, social media addiction and life satisfaction were identified as predictors of depression. Conclusion: In developing countries, such as Turkey, there is a lack of sufficient academic literature on this topic. Future research should not only monitor these relationships but also focus on prevention and treatment strategies.

“…Alanyazın incelendiğinde sosyal medya bağımlılığının yalnızlık (Meshi ve Ellithorpe, 2021;Rachubinska vd., 2021), kaygı (Budury ve Fitriasari, 2019;Meshi ve Ellithorpe, 2021;Nguyen vd., 2020), stres (Budury ve Fitriasari, 2019;Malak vd., 2021), depresyon (Budury ve Fitriasari, 2019;Meshi ve Ellithorpe, 2021;Nguyen vd., 2020;Rachubinska vd., 2021), benlik saygısı (Hawi ve Samaha, 2017;Tian vd., 2019;Webster vd., 2021), düĢük akademik performans (Malak vd., 2021;Ndukwu vd., 2020) gibi değiĢkenler ile iliĢkili olduğuna dair bulguların yer aldığı görülmüĢtür. Alanyazın incelenmeye devam edildiğinde sosyal medya bağımlılığının yaĢam doyumu (Hawi ve Samaha, 2017;Mohammed, 2020;Tian vd., 2019;Webster vd., 2021), öznel iyi oluĢ (Webster vd., 2021;Zhao, 2021), psikolojik sağlamlık (Živković, 2021), öz-denetim (Ritonga ve Kiram, 2018;Sağar, 2021), öz-düzenleme (Khan vd., 2021;Osatuyi ve Turel, 2018) gibi değiĢkenler ile iliĢkili olduğunu kanıtlayan bulgulara da rastlanmıĢtır. Alanyazındaki mevcut bu çalıĢmalara bağlı sosyal medya bağımlılığı ile iliĢkisi incelenen değiĢkenler göz önünde tutulduğunda, bu değiĢkenlere ek olarak, psikolojik esneklik ve problem çözme becerileri değiĢkenlerinin de incelenmesinin konuya önemli bir katkı sunacağı beklenmektedir.…”

Bu araĢtırmanın amacı, psikolojik esneklik ve problem çözme becerileri değiĢkenlerinin yetiĢkinlerin sosyal medya bağımlılığı düzeylerini ne kadar yordadığının incelenmesidir. ÇalıĢmanın araĢtırma grubunu 2022 yılında Akdeniz Bölgesinde yaĢayan 177 (%48,4) erkek, 189 (%51,6) kadın olmak üzere toplam 366 yetiĢkin oluĢturmaktadır. AraĢtırma grubuna iliĢkin yaĢ ortalaması 44,08'dir. Veri toplama araçları olarak "Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığı Ölçeği -YetiĢkin Formu", "Psikolojik Esneklik Ölçeği", "YetiĢkinler Ġçin Problem Çözme Becerileri Ölçeği" ve "KiĢisel Bilgi Formu" kullanılmıĢtır. AraĢtırmada veriler çoklu doğrusal regresyon analiz (adımsal) yöntemi ile çözümlenmiĢtir. AraĢtırma sonucunda, yetiĢkinlerde sosyal medya bağımlılığını birinci sırada "psikolojik esneklik" ve ikinci sırada "problem çözme becerileri" değiĢkenlerinin anlamlı düzeyde yordadığı belirlenmiĢtir.

Although the complex mechanism behind the impact of social media is still being explored, social media overuse is reported to be negatively correlated with the psychological well-being of college students [4,5].…”

With the development of social media applications, the use of social media is increasing among college students. Previous research has demonstrated the negative impacts of social media overuse on students' mental health. While social media overuse has been regarded as a potential cause for anxiety, little is known about its underlying mechanisms. Therefore, this study aims to examine whether perceived stress mediated the relationship between social media overuse and anxiety. 358 Chinese college students completed anonymous questionnaires. These questionnaires measured social media usage, perceived stress, and anxiety. The results showed that (1) social media overuse positively predicts stress and anxiety; (2) no gender difference was found in the correlations between social media overuse, perceived stress and anxiety (3) perceived stress partially mediated the association between social media overuse and anxiety. This study can improve our understanding of how social media overuse relates with students’ well-being.
