In recent years, the increasing challenges faced by families have led to the emergence of psychological issues that have particularly negative effects on young family members. These negative effects influence young individuals' life satisfaction and social media usage habits. The aim of the study is to examine the relationships between family cohesion, social media addiction, depression, anxiety levels, and life satisfaction among university students.
A quantitative research method was employed. A sample of 812 students studying in Turkey was selected.
The analyses revealed a significant positive relationship between depression and social media addiction ( < .05), while a significant negative relationship was found between depression and anxiety severity, life satisfaction, and family cohesion ( < .05). Additionally, a positive relationship was identified between anxiety severity and social media addiction, whereas negative relationships were observed between anxiety severity and the other variables ( < .05). A negative relationship was found between life satisfaction and social media addiction, while life satisfaction exhibited a positive relationship with the other variables ( < .05). Furthermore, a strong correlation was identified between age and income with all variables. The structural equation modeling results indicated that the CMIN/DF, CFI, SRMR, RMSEA, NFI, and GFI values met the criteria for goodness of fit, and significant effects were observed for all values.
Based on the study's findings, recommendations were provided for experts, researchers, and social policymakers. In this context, proposed solutions include increasing individual therapy sessions by specialists to reduce social media addiction and alleviate anxiety severity, as well as encouraging policymakers to expand projects in this field.
近年来，家庭面临的挑战日益增加，导致心理问题出现，这些问题对年轻家庭成员产生了特别负面的影响。这些负面影响影响着年轻人的生活满意度和社交媒体使用习惯。本研究的目的是探讨大学生家庭凝聚力、社交媒体成瘾、抑郁、焦虑水平和生活满意度之间的关系。
采用定量研究方法。选取了812名在土耳其学习的学生作为样本。
分析显示抑郁与社交媒体成瘾之间存在显著正相关（<0.05），而抑郁与焦虑严重程度、生活满意度和家庭凝聚力之间存在显著负相关（<0.05）。此外，焦虑严重程度与社交媒体成瘾之间存在正相关，而焦虑严重程度与其他变量之间存在负相关（<0.05）。生活满意度与社交媒体成瘾之间存在负相关，而生活满意度与其他变量之间存在正相关（<0.05）。此外，年龄和收入与所有变量之间存在强相关性。结构方程模型结果表明，CMIN/DF、CFI、SRMR、RMSEA、NFI和GFI值符合拟合优度标准，所有值均观察到显著影响。
基于研究结果，为专家、研究人员和社会政策制定者提供了建议。在此背景下，提出的解决方案包括增加专家的个体治疗课程，以减少社交媒体成瘾和减轻焦虑严重程度，以及鼓励政策制定者扩大该领域的项目。
