Çalışma, üniversite öğrencileri arasında sosyotelizm sıklığının saptanması, ilişkili olduğu düşünülen bazı değişkenlerin incelenmesi ve kişilik tiplerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.Kesitsel tipte olan çalışma, 2020-2021 eğitim öğretim yılı bahar döneminde Ankara’daki bir üniversitede öğrenim görmekte olan tüm öğrenciler arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler öğrencilerle çevirim içi (online) olarak toplanmıştır. Araştırmada örneklem hesabına gidilmemiş olup, evrene ulaşılması hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 869 öğrenci çalışma grubunu oluşturmuştur. Çalışmamızda sosyotelizm düzeyinin değerlendirilmesi için Sosyotelizm Ölçeği, kişilik özelliklerinin belirlenmesinde ise On Maddeli Kişilik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Analizler Ki-kare testi ve Lojistik Regresyon Analizi ile yapılmıştır. İstatistiksel anlamlılık değeri olarak p<0.05 kabul edilmiştir.Çalışma grubundakilerin 654’ü (%75.3) kadın, 215’i (%24.7) ise erkektir. Yaşları 18-44 arasında değişmekte olup, ortalama 21.37±2.97 yıl idi. Çalışmada sosyotelizm sıklığı %7.9 olarak bulunmuştur. Sosyotelizm için önemli risk faktörleri arasında kadın olmak, geniş aile yapısına sahip olmak, günlük ortalama akıllı telefon kullanma süresinin 6 saat ve üzerinde olması ve yumuşak başlı kişilik tipine sahip olma özelliği bulunmaktadır. Öğrencilerin en çok kullandıkları sosyal medya uygulamaları sırasıyla; %29.6 ile whatsapp, %25.9 ile instagram ve %23.6 ile youtube idi. Sonuç olarak, kişilik tipleri ile sosyotelizm arasında saptanan ilişkinin ortaya konabilmesi için daha kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
