Abstract

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.

数字世界中的心理平衡:社交媒体成瘾、抑郁、焦虑、学业自我效能感、总体归属感和生活满意度之间的动态关系。
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。在这种情况下,了解社交媒体成瘾(SMA)如何与各种因素相互作用,对于了解其对个人社会心理健康的潜在影响非常重要。特别是,社交媒体成瘾的普遍性及其与焦虑、抑郁、压力、学习自我效能感、总体归属感和生活满意度等重要变量之间的密切关系,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。研究进一步探讨了生活满意度与抑郁、焦虑、学业自我效能感和一般归属感之间的关系。本研究以土耳其东南部一所国立大学的 616 名学生(女生 388 人,男生 228 人;年龄在 17-32 岁之间)为调查对象。数据收集工具包括个人信息表、智能手机成瘾量表、抑郁焦虑压力量表、学业自我效能感量表、一般归属感量表和生活满意度量表。研究采用结构方程建模法,不仅考察了显著关系,还更详细地考察了中介效应和调节效应。研究结果显示,SMA 对学业自我效能感、一般归属感、抑郁、压力和焦虑有显著影响。学业自我效能感和一般归属感都会影响生活满意度。然而,SMA 对生活满意度的影响并不明显。此外,研究还发现一般归属感在学业自我效能感与生活满意度之间的关系中发挥了有效作用。研究结果表明,性别在 SMA 与生活满意度之间的关系中起着调节作用。据观察,性别在学业自我效能感、一般归属感、抑郁、焦虑和压力与生活满意度之间的关系中起着调节作用。相反,性别对学业自我效能感、一般归属感、抑郁、焦虑和压力的影响没有调节作用。因此,SMA 与其他变量之间的关系对于理解其对个人心理健康的影响具有重要作用。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
