    The Mediating Role of Psychological Resilience and Self-Compassion in the Relationship Between Perceived Parental Support and Social Media Addiction
    (MEF Üniversitesi, 2024) İşleyici, Burak; Acar, Melike
    The internet, which has entered our lives as a communication tool, has become an indispensable part of life and continues to exist in various realms through its evolving nature. One such domain is social media, which offers individuals the opportunity to present themselves in diverse ways and to foster more positive mental states. The desire to sustain this positive mental state can lead to social media addiction. Consequently, individuals may face serious problems significantly impacting their lives. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate factors potentially associated with social media addiction and to provide corresponding prevention and intervention services. Psychological resilience and self-compassion are considered significant factors for individuals with internet addiction as they are believed to enhance emotion regulation and impact addiction. The objective of this study is to examine the mediating role of self-compassion and psychological resilience in the relationship between perceived parental attention and social media addiction. The study's sample consists of 302 participants, and a correlational research model has been employed due to the examination of relationships between variables, along with descriptive statistics for these variables. A two-mediator model (Model 6) was utilized, leveraging the Hayes PROCESS analytical tool. The 'Demographic Information Form', 'Resilience Scale', 'Parental Attitudes Scale I-II', 'Social Media Addiction Scale', and 'Self-Compassion Scale' were used. The findings of the research reveal a relationship between the perceived parental attention of individuals and their social media addiction, with self-compassion playing a substantial mediating role in this relationship.
