Abstract

In the digital age, the internet and social media platforms have significantly transformed many aspects of life, including communication, daily routines, self-perception, and lifestyles. This study examines how individuals engage with these platforms, highlighting the fears and negative consequences associated with their use. Social media use has been linked to psychosocial effects such as FoMO (Fear of Missing Out), addiction, jealousy, feelings of inadequacy, and social exclusion. Additionally, the darker side of social media—referred to as DoSM (Dark Side of Social Media)—includes issues like cyberbullying, privacy violations, misinformation, and its role as a stressor, as described in the Stressor-Strain-Outcomes model. These factors contribute to rising contemporary fears and anxieties. The study also focuses on problematic internet use, a major issue in Türkiye, and addresses the psychological and physical consequences of social media engagement. In conclusion, while social media offers benefits such as facilitating communication and access to information, excessive use can lead to significant psychosocial and physical problems. This study highlights how social media addiction and the emerging anxieties of the digital age impact individuals’ quality of life, emphasizing the importance of conscious and balanced digital usage strategies.

Teknoloji Çağında İnternet ve Sosyal Medya Kaynaklı Yeni Nesil Korkulara İlişkin Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Teknoloji çağında, internet ve sosyal medya platformları, kişilerarası iletişimden bireylerin gündelik hayatına, benliklerine ve rutinlerine kadar pek çok alanda köklü değişiklikler yaratmıştır. Bu çalışma, teknoloji çağında bireylerin internet ve sosyal medyayla olan ilişkilerini ve bu platformların bireylerde yarattığı yeni nesil korkular ile olumsuz etkileri incelemektedir. Sosyal medya kullanımının bireylerde “FoMO” (Gelişmeleri Kaçırma Korkusu), sosyal medya bağımlılığı, kıskançlık, yetersizlik ve dışlanmışlık hissi gibi psikososyal etkiler yarattığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, sosyal medyanın karanlık yüzü (DoSM) olarak adlandırılan siber zorbalık, mahremiyet ihlalleri, Stres-Gerginlik-Sonuç (Stressor-Strain-Outcomes) ilişkisiyle dezenformasyon ve bir stres tetikleyici olarak işlev görmesi bireylerde yeni nesil korkular ve kaygıların artmasına neden olmaktadır. Türkiye açısından da önemli bir konu olan sorunlu internet kullanımını analiz eden çalışma, sosyal medya ile kurulan ilişkinin hem psikolojik hem de fiziksel sonuçlarına değinmektedir. Sonuç olarak, sosyal medya bireyler için iletişim ve bilgiye erişim kolaylığı sağlasa da, aşırı kullanımı psikososyal ve fiziksel sorunlara yol açabilmektedir. Çalışma, sosyal medya bağımlılığı ve yeni nesil korkuların bireylerin yaşam kalitesine etkisini ele almakta ve dijital dünyada bilinçli kullanım stratejilerinin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
