The Correlation between Social Media Use and Cyber Victimization: A Research on Generation Z in Turkey

Öz:
Although social media usage has many advantages, it also brings many risks. Anger, hate and bullying actions by individuals are frequently encountered on social media platforms today. Thus, this study aims to determine whether there is a meaningful correlation between social media use and cyber victimization. The cyber victimization levels of the users were investigated using the data of research conducted online with 390 participants (Generation Z) and social media users. The purposeful sampling method was used to select the participants. In the analysis of the data, frequency analysis, pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were performed using the statistical package program. It was found that the frequency of exposure of users to cyberbullying behaviors is low. It was determined that there are significant correlations at p=.01 and p=.05 levels between the independent variables of the sub-dimensions (socializing, obtaining information, sharing, following, and making use of leisure time) of the social media usage scale and the dependent variables of the cyber victimization sub-dimensions (cyber harassment, fraud, sharing and exclusion of private information, and virtual struggle and anxiety).

Sosyal Medya Kullanımı ile Siber Mağduriyet Arasındaki İlişki: Türkiye’de Z Kuşağı Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Öz:
Sosyal medya kullanımı pek çok fırsatı bünyesinde barındırmasına karşın birçok riski de beraberinde getirmektedir. Birey kaynaklı öfke, nefret ve zorbalık gibi eylemlerin günümüzde sosyal medya platformlarında da sıkça karşılaşılan durumlar olduğu görülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı sosyal medya kullanımı ile siber mağduriyet arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olup olmadığını tespit etmektir. Amaçlı örnekleme yöntemiyle 390 sosyal medya kullanıcısı ile online olarak gerçekleştirilen araştırmanın verileri kullanılarak kullanıcıların siber mağduriyet düzeyleri araştırılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde istatistiksel paket programı kullanılarak frekans analizi, pearson korelasyon analizi ile doğrusal regresyon analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları doğrultusunda kullanıcıların, siber zorbalık davranışlarına maruz kalma sıklığının düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, araştırma bulguları bir bütün olarak incelendiğinde, sosyal medya kullanımı ölçeği alt boyutları (sosyalleşme, bilgi edinme, paylaşma, takip etme ve serbest zaman değerlendirme) bağımsız değişkenleri ile siber mağduriyet alt boyutları (sanal taciz, sahtekârlık, özel bilgileri paylaşma ve dışlama ile sanal mücadele ve kaygı) bağımlı değişkenleri arasında p=,01 ve p=,05 düzeyinde anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
