Abstract

Cep telefonu ve avuç içi bilgisayar teknolojilerini tek bir cihaz içine birleştiren akıllı telefonlar günümüzün popüler teknolojik araçları konumundadır. Yeni nesil teknolojinin temel hedef kitlesi ve kullanıcısı konumunda olan üniversite öğrencilerinin iletişim ve bilişim teknolojilerine yönelik ilgi ve merakları sayesinde, akıllı telefon gibi işlevselliği daha yüksek olan araçların günlük kullanım süreleri hızla artmaktadır. Bu araçların uzun süreli kullanımı akıllı telefon bağımlılığı sorununu ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, akıllı telefon bağımlılık düzeyini utangaçlık ve yalnızlık açısından ölçmektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini Selçuk Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesinde eğitim gören ve akıllı telefon kullanıcısı olan üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılık Ölçeği, UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği ve Utangaçlık Ölçeği kullanılarak veriler elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler ışığında faktör analizi, korelasyon analizi ve regresyon analizi gibi analizler kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre; öğrenciler, akıllı telefonu daha çok internette gezinmek, sosyal ağ hizmetlerini kullanmak ve müzik dinlemek amaçlı kullanırken, oyun oynamak ve e-kitap okumak için daha az kullanmaktadır. Akıllı telefon bağımlılığı faktörleri ile yalnızlık ve utangaçlık arasında pozitif anlamlı ilişki vardır. Ayrıca regrasyon analizindeki bağımlı değişkenlerin bağımsız değişkeni pozitif yönde ve anlamlı düzeyde yordadığı görülmektedir.
