In the present era, the rapidly growing social media trends of the digital age have the potential to affect the psychological well-being of individuals. In this context, understanding how Social Media Addiction (SMA) interacts with various factors is important to understanding its potential impact on individuals' psychosocial health. In particular, the prevalence of SMA and its strong relationship with important variables such as anxiety, depression, stress, academic self-efficacy, general belongingness, and life satisfaction have received considerable attention from researchers and the society. This research aims to address the relationship between SMA and these variables in a holistic manner. The research further explored the relationship between life satisfaction and depression, anxiety, academic self-efficacy, and general belongingness. The research is based on a study conducted with 616 students (388 female and 228 male; 17-32 age range) at a state university in the Southeast of Turkey. Personal information form, Smartphone Addiction Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, General Belongingness Scale, and Life Satisfaction Scale were used as data collection tools. Using a structural equation modeling approach, the research not only examined the significant relationships but also examined the mediating and moderating effects in more detail. According to the research results, SMA significantly affects academic self-efficacy, general belongingness, depression, stress and anxiety. Academic self-efficacy and general belongingness both impact life satisfaction. However, SMA does not have a significant effect on life satisfaction. Moreover, it is revealed general belongingness play effective roles in the relationship between SMA and life satisfaction. As a result of the research, it was revealed that gender plays a moderating role in the relationship between SMA and life satisfaction. It has been observed that gender has a moderating role in the relationships between academic self-efficacy, general belongingness, depression, anxiety and stress and life satisfaction. Conversely, there is no moderating influence of gender on the impact of SMA on academic self-efficacy, general belongingness, depression, anxiety, or stress. Consequently, the relationships between SMA and other variables play an important role in understanding their effects on individuals' mental health.
在当今时代,数字时代迅速发展的社交媒体趋势有可能影响个人的心理健康。在此背景下,了解社交媒体成瘾(SMA)如何与各种因素相互作用对于理解其对个人心理社会健康的潜在影响至关重要。特别是,SMA的患病率及其与焦虑、抑郁、压力、学业自我效能感、总体归属感和生活满意度等重要变量的紧密关系受到了研究人员和社会的广泛关注。本研究旨在全面探讨SMA与这些变量之间的关系。该研究进一步探究了生活满意度与抑郁、焦虑、学业自我效能感和总体归属感之间的关系。这项研究基于对土耳其东南部一所国立大学的616名学生(388名女生和228名男生;年龄在17至32岁之间)进行的一项调查。个人信息表、智能手机成瘾量表、抑郁焦虑压力量表、学业自我效能量表、总体归属感量表和生活满意度量表被用作数据收集工具。采用结构方程建模方法,该研究不仅检验了显著关系,还更详细地考察了中介和调节作用。根据研究结果,SMA显著影响学业自我效能感、总体归属感、抑郁、压力和焦虑。学业自我效能感和总体归属感均对生活满意度产生影响。然而,SMA对生活满意度没有显著影响。此外,研究表明总体归属感在SMA与生活满意度之间的关系中发挥着有效作用。研究结果显示,性别在SMA与生活满意度之间的关系中起调节作用。据观察,性别在学业自我效能感、总体归属感、抑郁、焦虑和压力与生活满意度之间的关系中起调节作用。相反,性别对SMA对学业自我效能感、总体归属感、抑郁、焦虑或压力的影响没有调节作用。因此,SMA与其他变量之间的关系在理解它们对个人心理健康的影响方面起着重要作用。
