The Investigation of Self-Efficacy Levels Among Faculty of Sports Students In Terms of Some Variables

The purpose of this research; It is the examination of the self-efficacy levels of the Faculty of Sports Sciences students according to some variables. The universe of the research consists of 1096 students studying in different programs at Yozgat Bozok University Faculty of Sport Sciences in the 2022-2023 academic year. The universe of the research consists of 304 students selected on a voluntary basis among 1096 students studying in different programs at Yozgat Bozok University Faculty of Sport Sciences in the 2022-2023 academic year. In the study "Self-Efficacy Scale", which was adapted Turkish by Yıldırım and İlhan (2010) was used to determine the self-efficacy levels of students. In the analysis of the data, descriptive frequency (n), percentage (%), arithmetic mean (x̄) and standard deviation (sd) were used to determine the personal characteristics of the participants. The "Cronbach alpha coefficient" method was used for internal consistency in determining the level of reliability values of the study. In the study, kurtosis and skewness values of the data set were examined and it was determined that the data showed a normal distribution, and parametric tests (t-Test, Anova) were used in statistical analysis. As a result of the research; It was determined that the most important one of the sub-dimensions of the self-efficacy scale was the not give up dimension. It has been found that the students' self-efficacy levels are at a high level. There were statistically significant differences between students' self-efficacy levels according to the variables of department, family monthly income level, and still active sports with license.

Examination of Self-Efficacy Levels of Physical Education Teachers and Trainer Candidates in Terms of Different Variables

Self-efficacy belief is the belief of individuals in performing a particular job by relying on the knowledge, experience and skills needed for the job. In this study, it was aimed to examine the general self-efficacy of physical education and sports teacher candidates and coach candidates in terms of different variables. The sample of the study consists of 245 teacher and coach candidates, 124 female and 121 male, with an average age of 21.87±2.36 years, studying at Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University Faculty of Sport Sciences in the 2022-2023 academic year. The general self-efficacy scale developed by Magaletta and Oliver (13) and validated in Turkish by Yıldırım and İlhan (24) was used as a data collection tool. Obtained data were analyzed with Independent sample-t test and One-way Anova test. In terms of gender, candidates do not differ in their self-efficacy (p>0.05). It is understood that those who see their professional future as negative get a lower score than those who see their professional future as positive in the persistence-insistence sub-dimension, although their total self-efficacy and starting sub-dimension are higher (p<0.05). It is observed that physical education teacher and coach candidates differ in the starting sub-dimension of the self-efficacy scale according to their past athletic status (p<0.05). Accordingly, those who have 2 branches have higher scores in the starting dimension than those who have no branches. It was found that teacher and coach candidates differed in the sub-dimension of not giving up, trying to start and continuing-persistence of the self-efficacy scale in terms of departments (p<0.05). However, it was not found to be significant in terms of their total self-efficacy (p>0.05). As a result, it was found that the self-efficacy of physical education teacher and coach candidates did not differ in terms of gender. In terms of the departments studied, the self-efficacy scale of teacher and coach candidates; It was found that they differed in the sub-dimension of not giving up, starting and continuing effort. From this point of view, it can be said that having an athlete background in a certain sports branch at the stage of admission to the departments they study can contribute positively to their future professional life.

Artificial Intelligence Readiness Status of Medical Faculty Students

Objective: This research aims to examine the knowledge level and awareness of Faculty of Medicine students about medical artificial intelligence technologies.
 Methods: In this study involving students studying at Medical Faculties in Turkey, descriptive questionnaire, and the Medical Artificial Intelligence Readiness Scale for Medical Students (MAIRS-MS) were used. The suitability of continuous variables for normal distribution was tested with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Descriptive statistics for continuous variables are presented as mean and standard deviation or median (Q1-Q3). Descriptive statistics for categorical variables are reported as frequencies and percentages. Homogeneity of variances was evaluated with the Levene test. Mann Whitney U test was used to compare the scale subdimension and total scores according to two independent groups; One-way Analysis of Variance or Kruskal Wallis test was used to compare the scale subdimensions and total scores according to more than two independent groups. Dunn-Bonferroni test was used for multiple comparisons if there was a significant difference between the groups. The relationship between MAIRS-MS subdimensions and MAIRS-MS score was evaluated with the Spearman correlation coefficient. MAIRS-MS reliability was determined by Cronbach alpha value. The value of p

The relationship of sexual dysfunction and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes

Objective: Diabetes, along with being able to play a role in the formation of many health problems such as psychological, psychosocial, and sexual dysfunction, also indirectly affects the duration and quality of life. This research was conducted as a descriptive, cross-sectional research model to determine the relationship between sexual dysfunction and the quality of life of patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
 Methods: The research sample consisted of 485 individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The data were collected through the General Information Form, the Female Sexual Function Index, the Erection Function International Assessment Form, and the Quality of Life Scale (SF-36).
 Results: It was found that 91% of women have sexual dysfunction and are experiencing sexual desire (92.2%), orgasmic function, arousal (92.9%), and pain, satisfaction, and lubrication (92.5%), respectively. This rate was found to be 91.3% in men, and the degree of erectile dysfunction was found to be moderate (55%), mild (21.6%) and severe (14.7%), respectively. It was found that the problems experienced in the areas of sexual dysfunction were in the sub-dimensions of general satisfaction 20.6%, orgasmic function 49.5%, and sexual desire 50.9%. And relationship satisfaction is 72.5%. In the study, it was found that sexual dysfunction affects the quality of life in both sexes, and the scale sub-dimensions have a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). It was found that the physical role difficulty, physical function, emotional role, mental health, and social function sub-dimension score had a statistically significant difference in men and women with sexual dysfunction, and the pain and vitality sub-dimension scores in men were significantly lower compared to those without sexual dysfunction (p < 0.05).
 Conclusion: As a result, sexual dysfunction is common in men and women with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and in parallel, the quality of life is low.

Work Engagement and Burnout in a Private Healthcare Unit in Greece.

Work engagement represents a positive work-related state of mind characterized by three dimensions: Vigor (high levels of energy and mental resilience during work), Dedication (strong involvement in one's work), and Absorption (complete-joyous immersion in one's tasks). This study aimed to investigate work engagement and burnout in health professionals in a private healthcare unit in Greece. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 151 professionals, including doctors, nurses, administrative staff, and other health professionals involved in this setting. The study duration was four months (January-April 2022). The questionnaire covered sociodemographic and work-related information, along with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Regarding the subdimensions of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, participants demonstrated a moderate score in Absorption and medium to high scores in Vigor and Dedication. In terms of burnout, they showed a low score in Depersonalization, a medium score in Emotional Exhaustion, and a high score in Personal Accomplishment. Those with nonpermanent employment contracts scored higher in all dimensions of burnout compared to those with permanent employment contracts. Vigor, Dedication, and Absorption correlated negatively with Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization and positively with Personal Accomplishment. Vigor negatively predicted Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Personal Accomplishment. In conclusion, healthcare professionals in the private healthcare sector in Greece demonstrate moderate work engagement and experience moderate burnout. There are differences in work engagement and burnout based on sociodemographic and work-related characteristics. Promoting work engagement (especially the dimension of Vigor) is essential to preventing and addressing burnout among healthcare professionals.

INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEISURE TIME MANAGEMENT AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN TERMS OF INTERGENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES

This study was conducted to examine the relationship between leisure time management and the quality of life of individuals of different generations who have received sports education and are still continuing their education. The population of the study consists of individuals who are currently studying or graduated from the Faculty of Sports Sciences and Physical Education and Sports School in Istanbul province. As the sample group, Istanbul Topkapı University, Marmara University, and Istanbul Cerrahpaşa University were selected because they have applied units (Faculty of Sports Sciences and School of Physical Education Sports). A total of 318 students of the Faculty of Sports Sciences and School of Physical Education and Sports who were studying and graduated from these universities participated voluntarily. After the participants were informed about the scales, the data were collected. The data were analysed in a computer environment using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) programme. The normal distribution of the scores was analysed by examining normal distribution curves, skewness kurtosis values, normal distribution curves employing histograms, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test values used when the group size is greater than 50. As a result of the skewness and kurtosis analyses of the data, it was determined that the data were suitable for parametric test conditions. In the analysis of the data, frequency, arithmetic mean and standard deviation; independent group t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to examine the differences between variables, and the Tukey test, one of the Post Hoc tests, was used to determine between which groups the difference occurred. As a result of the statistics obtained; a significant difference was found in the sub-dimensions of Goal Setting and Method sub-dimensions of the leisure time management scale according to the generations of the participants. It is thought that older individuals make life plans and time management better.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0661/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The effects of online art therapy on ego functions, emotion regulation, and interpersonal relationship styles in neurotic personality organization

Art therapy, as an effective therapeutic intervention, is used to improve positive self-image and self-awareness, promote insight, and enhance therapeutic communication. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of art psychotherapy on ego functions, emotion regulation, and interpersonal relationship styles of individuals with neurotic personality organization. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, 60 participants were assigned to intervention and control groups, each further divided into three subgroups (n = 10 per subgroup). The intervention group engaged in online art therapy sessions twice weekly over nine weeks, while the control group received no intervention. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, paired samples t-tests, and independent t-tests. There was a significant decrease in the intervention group's judgmental subdimensions of the Ego Function Assessment Scale. A significant decrease was found in the intervention group in “awareness” (p < 0.01), “clarity” (p < 0.05), and “impulse” (p < 0.001) subdimensions and total scores of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. There was no statistical difference between the intervention and control groups' mean pretests and posttests and comparing those groups with each other concerning IRSQ scores. The online group art therapy led to successful improvements in participants' ego functions and emotion regulations.

PRIVACY OF OLDER ADULTS

Introduction: In contrast to hiding specific things, privacy concerns protecting one’s right to self-control and autonomy, which accompanies everyone’s existence. In the healthcare sector, older adults’ thoughts about privacy should be evaluated relative to those of nurses to understand how the concept of privacy is perceived and whether necessary attention is given to the subject. Materials and Method: This was a descriptive study. A sociodemographic Information Form and Patient Privacy Scale were used. After the necessary institutional and ethical permissions were obtained, face-to-face data were collected from 926 older adults and 788 nurses from six public and four university hospitals. Results: The mean scores of the Patient Privacy Scale were 4.78±0.14 for nurses and 3.78±0.32 for older adults, which were significantly different (p≤0.001). In addition, when the Patient Privacy Scale scores of the nurses were evaluated according to sociodemographic data, no significant differences were found between the Patient Privacy Scale scores and scale subdimensions and sociodemographic data (p&gt;0.05). In contrast, a significant difference was found between the scale and scale subdimensions in older adults (p≤0.05). Conclusion: When nurses communicate with older adults, they create a healthier environment in terms of privacy by considering older adults’ expectations of privacy, taking measures to protect privacy, and providing training on the subject.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder And Its Relationship To Risk-Taking Behavior Among Adolescents With ADHD During The Covid-19 Pandemic

The paper aims at studying the level of risk-taking behavior among adolescents with ADHD in East Jerusalem. It is of interest of this paper to study the nature of the dimensions of measures of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and risk-taking behavior. The sample of the study consisted of a total number of (55) adolescents who are suffering from ADHD in East Jerusalem during the academic year 2020/2021. The study used two measures: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and risk-taking behavior. The results concluded that the level of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is high, reaching 13%, as well as the level of risk-taking behavior, which reached 29%. Another promising finding also found a statistically significant correlation between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and risk-taking behavior. The results also concluded that there were no statistically significant differences between the average responses of the study sample members on the total scale and the sub-dimensions of the ADHD scale due to gender, age, and educational level. The results also concluded that there were no statistically significant differences between the average responses of the study sample members on the overall scale and the sub-dimensions of the risk-taking behavior scale due to age and educational level, while there were differences due to gender in favor of females

Examining the Relationship between Phubbing and Mental Health among University Students: A Mixed Study

This study aims to examine the association between phubbing in college students and mental health, the dimensions of the association, and the source of this association. The study has the characteristics of an explanatory sequential mixed design, in which qualitative data from mixed designs are interpreted to explain quantitative data. In the quantitative phase of the study, data were collected from 305 participants. In this phase, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, regression analysis, and independent samples t-test were applied to the collected data. In the second phase, in which qualitative data were collected, data were gathered through focus group interviews with 12 participants who had participated in the quantitative phase of the study. In terms of gender, it can be said that female students experience more phobia, anxiety, depression, and stress than male students. According to the results of the qualitative research phase, the participants of the focus group interview indicated that the individuals who exhibit phubbing behaviours are introverted, lonely and abandoned, shy, anxious, poor in communication, and technology dependent. In addition, reasons for interest in smartphones may include relaxation, boredom, avoiding people, escaping stress and depression, escaping negative situations, motivation, following the daily activities of others, or escaping chat environments that do not interest them and that they consider unimportant.

Is Problematic Physical Activity (PPA) a Uni- or Multi-Dimensional Concept? A Bifactor Analysis of the Exercise Dependence Scale-Revised (EDS-R).

The study of exercise dependence, or as we prefer, problematic physical activity (PPA), faces both theoretical and methodological challenges. Different factorial solutions were obtained for the widely used Exercise Dependence Scale-Revised (EDS-R), leading us to question both its latent underlying construct and the interpretation of its factor solutions. Through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the use of a bifactor model (BCFA), we assessed the dimensionality of a French version of the EDS-R. We recruited 745 students from Paris Nanterre University, but we removed 88 responses (16.8%) to retain only those who (a) engaged in a moderate to high levels of physical activity, according to the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ; N = 494; 9.5%), and (b) completed the EDS-R. We used a final sample of 435 students (58.4% of the total population) for a factorial analysis of the EDS-R. We conducted a three-step CFA in Mplus, producing three models: (a) unidimensional, (b) second-order, and (c) bi-factor (BCFA). The results of the BCFA indicated that most EDS-R items were better indicators of a general factor than their respective group factors, except for the second factor measuring a withdrawal construct. These results add to an ongoing debate in the field of behavioral addiction as to how to better conceptualize and measure exercise dependence or PPA. Withdrawal appears to have a special position in this debate, since our BCFA suggested that it is the only specific sub-dimension of the EDS-R scale.

Empathy Levels, Self-Perceptions, and Play Interactions of Children Aged 60-72 Months in the Preschool Period

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between empathy levels, self-perceptions, and interactive play skills with peers in children during the preschool period. The study utilized a quantitative research design, specifically employing a correlational survey model. A total of 128 children attending educational institutions in the Uskudar district of Istanbul, Turkey, were included in the study. The participants were selected using the convenience sampling method. The data collection instruments used in the study were the "Demographic Information Form," "Empathy Scale for Children," "Purdue Self-Concept Scale for Preschool Children," and the " Penn Interactive Peer- Playing Scale-Teacher Form". The study's results revealed a moderate positive correlation between children's empathy skill levels and play interactions. Additionally, a moderate negative correlation was found between empathy skill levels and disengagement from play. Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between the sub-dimension of maternal acceptance, which is one of the components of the self-perception scale, and play interactions, while a negative correlation was identified between scores related to play disruption and disengagement. However, no significant relationship was found between the other sub-dimensions of the self-perception scale, namely social, academic, and physical competence, and play skills.

Antrenör Pedagojik Yeterliliğin Duygu Düzenleme Üzerindeki Etkisi: Genç Judo Sporcuları Üzerine Bir Araştırma

It’s known that our relationships with others affect the way we view ourselves. The effects of trainer characteristics on athletes in the sports environment is a very important and common research topic. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between the pedagogical competence perceived by the athletes from their trainers and the emotion regulation strategies they use. A total of 107 young judo athletes, 64 male and 43 female with a mean age of 15.85±1.32, participated in the study. "Trainers’ Pedagogical Competencies Scale" was used to measure the pedagogical competence perceived by the athletes from their trainers, and the "Emotion Regulation Scale for Athletes" was used to determine which emotion regulation strategies they used. Pearson correlation test was used to determine the relationship between trainer pedagogical competence and emotion regulation, and multiple linear regression analysis (enter method) was used to determine whether trainer pedagogical competence was a significant predictor of emotion regulation strategies. Moderately positive and significant relationships were found between empathy-attention and target-oriented training, which are sub-dimensions of the instructor pedagogical competence scale, and cognitive reappraisal and suppression, one of the emotion regulation strategies. In addition, empathy and attention were found to significantly predict cognitive reappraisal. Again, it was determined that the variables of prevention of support and solidarity and education for the purpose significantly predicted the suppression strategy. As a result, it can be said that some parameters of the pedagogical competence of the trainer are effective on the emotion regulation strategies preferred by the athletes.

Assessment of Cynicism and Burnout Syndrome Among Nurses; A Descriptive Study

Objective: Healthcare professionals are susceptible to experiencing cynicism and burnout syndrome. This study aimed to assess the cynicism and burnout syndrome levels among hospital nurses. Material and Methods: The study employed a descriptive design and involved the administration of standardized scales and a questionnaire to voluntary participants, who were nurses at a designated tertiary hospital. The questionnaire, conducted through face-to-face interviews, aimed to collect socio-demographic information, address specific concerns relevant to nurses, and comprehensively evaluate their levels of cynicism and Burnout, thereby capturing crucial socio-demographic details. Results: A total of 327 nurses participated in the study. Findings indicated that 58.1% of the nurses had willingly chosen their profession, 48.6% expressed satisfaction with their profession, and 22.3% believed their profession was valued. The study revealed a positive correlation between sub-dimensions of the burnout scale, sub-dimensions of the organizational cynicism scale, total organizational cynicism scale scores, and general cynicism scale scores (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusion: These results indicate that nurses are at risk of experiencing cynicism and burnout syndrome. It is, therefore, crucial to identify risk factors and implement preventive measures early on to minimize the risk. Recommendations include enhancing the working environment and conditions for healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, adjusting working hours, and providing psychological counselling services for employees.

Moral decision-making attitude and psychological well-being: reflections from various sports branches

Background Study Aim. This study aimed to investigate the impact of moral decision-making attitudes among athletes in various sports on their psychological well-being. Material and Methods. A total of 345 active, licensed athletes (also students) participated in this study, with a mean age of 19.62 years (215 females and 130 males). The sports represented included athletics, badminton, basketball, boxing, fencing, football, wrestling, handball, hockey, judo, kickboxing, table tennis, taekwondo, wheelchair basketball, volleyball, and swimming. In addition to descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses were conducted within the framework of a relational model. Results. The study revealed significant relationships between different sub-dimensions of the moral decision-making attitude scale and psychological well-being. Specifically, a significant negative relationship (r = -0.162, p &lt; 0.001) was observed between adopting cheating, a sub-dimension of the moral decision-making attitude scale, and psychological well-being. Conversely, a significant positive relationship (r = 0.158, p &lt; 0.001) was found between protecting fair competition, another sub-dimension of the moral decision-making attitude scale, and psychological well-being. It was determined that adopting cheating had a significantly negative effect on psychological well-being (β = -0.188, p &lt; 0.001), while protecting fair competition had a positive effect (β = 0.183, p &lt; 0.001). Conclusions. This study suggests that athletes experience a negative impact on their psychological well-being when they engage in cheating as part of their moral decision-making attitudes. Conversely, their psychological well-being benefits from their commitment to fair competition. It can be argued that athletes' moral responsibilities contribute to their psychological resilience and well-being.

Examination of the Relationship between Awareness and Irrational Beliefs of Parents with Gifted Children

In this study, it was investigated whether there is a relationship between parents' irrational beliefs and their awareness of their gifted child. As a method, a relational screening model was used. The study group, formed by convenient sampling, consists of parents of primary and secondary school students registered at the Science and Art Center in the 2021-2022 academic year. A total of 289 parents, 247 mothers, and 42 fathers, constitute the sample of the study. The Parent Irrational Beliefs Scale, Parent Awareness Scale- Parents with Gifted Children, and Personal Information Form were used as data collection tools in the study. Research variables were examined in terms of gender, employment status, parental education level and age, and the data were tested with independent group t-tests and ANOVA. As a result of the research; A negative significant relationship was found between the awareness of parents with gifted children and their irrational beliefs. While there was a negative significant relationship between the irrational beliefs of parents with gifted children and the sub-dimensions of parental awareness scale, perfectionism and self-directedness- responsibility, there was no significant relationship between parents' irrational beliefs and motivation- success and stress- conflict dimensions.

Opinions and Attitudes of Education Faculty Students towards Research Methods in Education Course

Research is the whole of the systematic efforts of individuals by making new discoveries and inventions to find solutions to the problems they face or to improve the current situation. After the implementation of teacher training activities by higher education institutions, courses such as "Research Techniques", "Research Methods in Education" and "Research Methods" are included in the curriculum of higher education institutions to provide students with research competencies. It is important for prospective teachers to have positive attitudes towards this course for them to acquire the knowledge and skills in question effectively. In this direction, in this study, it was tried to determine the attitudes and opinions of teacher candidates towards the Research Course in Education. In this research, in which the attitudes and opinions of Bayburt University Faculty of Education students towards the RME course are tried to be determined, mixed method and explanatory sequential design was used. In the study, a single survey model was used to determine the attitudes of students towards the RME course, a relational survey model was used to examine the sub-dimensions of attitudes according to the departments and classes of the students, and focus group interview was used to determine their views about the course.The Kruskal Wallis H test was used to determine whether the attitudes of the groups showed an independent evaluation from each other. In the research, an attitude scale developed by the researcher was used as a data collection tool to determine the attitudes of the students towards the RME course, and a focus group interview form was used to determine their opinions. The quantitative sample of the study consists of 190 university students selected through purposive sampling, and the qualitative sample consists of 10 candidate teachers selected from this group with the same method. When the research findings were examined, it was seen that the attitudes of the novice teachers towards the RME course differed significantly in favor of men according to the self-confidence variable in the sub-dimensions of the attitude scale. It is thought that including the RME course, which is among the elective courses in Education faculties, among the compulsory courses, extending the one-semester and 3-credit RME course in terms of credit.

The Invisible Threat of the Pandemic: Cervical Cancer Screening Change According to Health Belief of Women

Background: During the pandemic process, changes were made in cancer screening programs in order to reduce the density of hospitals and prevent the spread of the pandemic.&#x0D; &#x0D; Objective: To determine the health beliefs, thoughts and practices of women regarding cervical cancer and pap-smear testing during the COVID-19.&#x0D; &#x0D; Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out with 361 women who filled out the questionnaire online through the social media application. Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test Health Belief Model Scale was used to collect data.&#x0D; &#x0D; Results: The women’s 81.2% stated that they did not have a pap smear test and 72.6% of them stated that the pap smear test should not be postponed during the pandemic. Their 76.7% stated that they did not want to get a self-swab smear test at home during the pandemic, 49.3% of them stated that they could get Human Papilloma Virus vaccine in the pandemic. Cervical Cancer and Pap Smear Test Health Belief Model Scale sub-dimension mean scores of Pap smear benefits and motivation (15.12 ± 4.96), pap smear barriers (40.09 ± 6.79), cervical cancer care/seriousness (26.21 ± 2.62), cervical cancer sensitivity (12.96 ± 1.88) and cervical cancer health motivation (7.36 ± 2.37).&#x0D; &#x0D; Conclusion:Although women’s perception of pap-tests and their level of cervical cancer sensitivity was found high, most of them did not have pap smear screening in the pandemic period. This may increase the incidence of cervical cancer in the future. In order for women to continue their participation in screening programs during the pandemic, health personnel should take the necessary precautions according to restriction and relaxation processes.

Dijital Bağımlılık ile Yaşam Doyumu Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

This study aimed to explore the relationship between digital addiction and life satisfaction among university students across their demographic characteristics. A sample of 264 university students, including 148 females and 116 males, was selected through a random sampling method. The "Digital Addiction Scale (DAS)" developed by Kesici and Tunç (2018) for university students was administered to assess digital addiction levels. The " Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS)," developed by Diener et al. (1985) and adapted into Turkish by Dağlı ve Baysal (2016), was utilized to evaluate participants’ satisfaction with life. Descriptive statistical methods, such as percentage and frequency, were employed to determine the demographic characteristics of the participants. The data were assessed for normal distribution based on the skewness and kurtosis values. Additionally, parametric tests such as independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA test were employed. Pearson’s correlation analysis was employed to determine the relationship between the sub-dimensions of the scale. The findings indicated a significant difference in the sub-dimensions of the digital addiction scale based on participants’ age, frequency of digital tool use, and level of welfare. However, no significant difference was found in the sub-dimensions of digital addiction and life satisfaction levels according to gender and grade level variables. On the contrary, there was a correlation between the life satisfaction scale and sub-dimensions of the digital addiction scale. Consequently, the relationships between digital addiction and life satisfaction levels varied depending on the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants.
