Özet
This study with a simple random sampling design aimed to determine the relationship between social mediaaddiction and altruism and egocentrism in adolescents and explain factors predicting social mediaaddiction. The sample of the study consisted of 898 adolescents in the 14-18 age group, a little more thanhalf of whom (51.7%) were female students (n=464). According to the findings, the majority (92%) of theparticipants was using “WhatsApp.” There was a significant difference between sex and the use of“Facebook” (X2=137.220; df=1; p<0.05), “YouTube” (X2=10.511; df=1; p<0.05), and “Snapchat”(X2=14.869; df=1; p<0.05). Furthermore, there was a significant positive relationship between socialmedia addiction and sex (r=.108, p<0.01), Adolescent Egocentrism-Sociocentrism (r=.165, p<0.01), andamong its sub-dimensions, Egocentrism (r=.194, p<0.01), Self-focus (r=.071, p<0.05), and Imaginary(r=.116, p<0.01). Moreover, while most of the effect sizes obtained by hierarchical multiple regressionanalysis were relatively modest, the results explained 7% of social media addiction. Future studies shouldinvestigate the role of social resources in addition to personal resources in preventing social mediaaddiction in adolescents.
