“…Given the addictive nature of this immediate, self‐defining feedback, social media companies may even capitalize upon this to maximally engage users. However, growing evidence indicates that relying on online feedback for self‐esteem can have adverse effects on young people, particularly those with low social‐emotional well‐being, due to high rates of cyberbullying, increased anxiety and depression, and increased perceptions of social isolation and exclusion among those who feel rejected online.…”

The “online brain”: how the Internet may be changing our cognition

The impact of the Internet across multiple aspects of modern society is clear. However, the influence that it may have on our brain structure and functioning remains a central topic of investigation. Here we draw on recent psychological, psychiatric and neuroimaging findings to examine several key hypotheses on how the Internet may be changing our cognition. Specifically, we explore how unique features of the online world may be influencing: a) attentional capacities, as the constantly evolving stream of online information encourages our divided attention across multiple media sources, at the expense of sustained concentration; b) memory processes, as this vast and ubiquitous source of online information begins to shift the way we retrieve, store, and even value knowledge; and c) social cognition, as the ability for online social settings to resemble and evoke real-world social processes creates a new interplay between the Internet and our social lives, including our self-concepts and self-esteem. Overall, the available evidence indicates that the Internet can produce both acute and sustained alterations in each of these areas of cognition, which may be reflected in changes in the brain. However, an emerging priority for future research is to determine the effects of extensive online media usage on cognitive development in youth, and examine how this may differ from cognitive outcomes and brain impact of uses of Internet in the elderly. We conclude by proposing how Internet research could be integrated into broader research settings to study how this unprecedented new facet of society can affect our cognition and the brain across the life course.

“…These environments observed in this diversification provide advantages to users in terms of communication and interaction. Social media environments that allow users to create individual public profiles, interact with real‐life friends, create contents on various topics, share these contents with others, make friends, shop, etc., are the most important virtual communities which provide virtual communication and are used intensely (Kuss & Griffiths, ; Vannucci, Flannery & Ohannessian, ; Yildiz‐Durak, ). The rate of using social media environments, especially among young adults, reaches 90% (Pew Research Center, ).…”

Social media usage has been popular for the last decade. Individuals use their social media environments for various reasons such as to socialize, play games, have fun and share posts. Overuse of these environments may lead to negative psychological and behavioral consequences for individuals. Additionally, it increases the worries about potential addicted/problematic use of social media. In this study, it is aimed to determine the level of problematic social media usage of participants who are active social media users and to analyze the relationships between problematic social media usage and various personal characteristics and social variables. Study in relational screening model is carried out with the participation of 580 volunteers. Partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling is used to analyze the data obtained through various scale according to the research model. The structural equation modeling analysis shows that there is a significant relationship between problematic social media usage and the daily time of social media usage, the use of frequency of social media for recognition, publicity, communication/interaction and education, loneliness, and social anxiety. The variable which shows higher correlation between problematic social media usage is social anxiety.

“…Sosyal medya kullanımının, günümüzdeki çocukların ve ergenlerin en yaygın faaliyetleri arasında olması (O'Keeffe, 2011), beraberinde problemli internet kullanımı sorununu ortaya çıkarmaktadır (Günlü & Ceyhan, 2017). Sosyal medya kullanım süresi arttıkça genç yetişkinlerde depresyon (Lin et al, 2016;Moreno et al, 2011;Sarıçam, Tarhan, & Soyuçok, 2015), anksiyete (Seabrook, Kern, & Rickard, 2016;Vannucci, Flannery, & Ohannessian, 2017), stres (Nabi, Prestin, & So, 2013;Rus & Tiemensma, 2017), ruminasyon (Davila et al, 2012;Shaw, Timpano, Tran, & Joormann, 2015), uyku bozukluğu (Levenson et al, 2016;Tavernier & Willoughby, 2014), sosyal kaygı (Chiou, Lee, & Liao, 2015;Dobrean & Păsărelu, 2016;Sarıçam et al, 2015), narsizim (Andreassen, Pallesen, & Griffiths, 2017), kıskançlık (Appel, Crusius, & Gerlach, 2015;Tandoc, Ferrucci, & Duffy, 2015), akademik başarısızlık (Owusu-Acheaw & Larson, 2015) gibi duygu, davranış ve kişilik bozukluklarının görülme olasılığı artmaktadır. Bununla birlikte yine sosyal medya kullanımının artması ergenlerde benlik saygılarının düşmesine (Hawi & Samaha, 2016), olumsuz benlik imajı oluşmasına (Dumitrache, Mitrofan & Petrov, 2012), ruhsal sağlık problemlerine (Best, Manktelow, & Taylor, 2014;Frost & Rickwood, 2017;Saraji & Fini, 2017;Sarıçam, Yaman, & Çelik, 2016, Wegmann, Stodt, & Brand, 2015, akademik başarısızlığa (Ahn, 2011;Owusu-Acheaw, & Laron, 2015), kortizol eksikliğine (Morin-Major et al, 2016) sebep olabilmektedir.…”

Öz Bu çalışmada Sosyal Medya Kullanım Bozukluğu Ölçeği'nin (SMKBÖ-9) Türk ergenlerde geçerlik ve güvenirliğini test etmek ve psikometrik özelliklerini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamına yaşları 13 ile 18 arasında değişen üç farklı çalışma grubunda yer alan toplam 586 (202+204+180) ergen alınmıştır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonuçlarına göre SMKBÖ'nün Türkçe formunun orijinalindeki gibi tek boyuta sahip olduğu ve bu tek boyutlu yapının ölçtüğü özellikle ilgili toplam varyansın %48.11'ini açıkladığı görülmüştür. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucu ölçeğin uyum iyiliği değerleri χ²/sd=1.87, RMSEA=.066, CFI=.98, GFI=.98, IFI=.98, NFI=.96, RFI=.97 ve SRMR=.039 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca madde faktör yükleri de .35 ile .76 arasında sıralanmaktadır. Eşdeğer ölçek (ölçüt) geçerliği çalışmasında Sosyal Medya Kullanım Bozukluğu Ölçeği ile Young İnternet Bağımlılığı Testi-Kısa Formu ve Ergenler için Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı-Kısa Formu arasında sırasıyla r= .64, .66 ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir. Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık katsayısı .75, Guttman iki yarı test güvenirlik katsayısı .64 olarak bulunmuştur. Düzeltilmiş madde toplam korelasyon katsayıları .29 ile .73 arasında değişmektedir. Tüm bu sonuçlar, Sosyal Medya Kullanım Bozukluğu Ölçeği'nin Türk ergenlerde kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermiştir. AbstractThe present study aimed to test the reliability and validity of Social Media Disorder (SMD-9) Scale in Turkish adolescents and to examine its psychometric properties. Three study groups were conducted among a total of 586 (202+204+180) Turkish adolescents aged from 13 to 18. According to explanatory factor analysis results, it was found that the Turkish form of the SMDS had one-dimension just like the original version and the unidimensional scale explained 48.11% of variance related to the attribute it measured. In confirmatory factor analysis, fit index values were found as χ²/df=1.
