Özet:

 This study aimed to examine the mediating role of phubbing in the relationship between social media addiction and subjective vitality of university students. The participants of the study were 352 university students, 227 female and 125 male, aged between 18 and 55 Mage  23.608, SD  6.561. In the study, conditional process analysis was performed using the SPSS PROCESS macro add-in and the research hypotheses were tested. Additionally, the bootstrapping method was used for the statistical significance of the mediator variable. When the correlation findings of the study were examined, it was determined that subjective vitality was negatively correlated with both social media addiction and phubbing. Additionally, a significant positive relationship was found between social media addiction and phubbing. Conditional process analysis findings revealed that phubbing played a partial mediating role in the relationship between social media addiction and subjective vitality. The results obtained from the bootstrapping method also indicated that this mediation was statistically significant. All findings obtained within the scope of the research were discussed and interpreted in light of the literature, and recommendations were presented to both mental health practitioners and researchers.

 Bu çalışma, sosyal medya bağımlılığı ile üniversite öğrencilerinin öznel zindelik arasındaki ilişkide phubbingin aracılık rolünü incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcılarını, yaşları 18 ile 55 arasında değişen Yaş ortalaması  23.608, SS  6.561 227 kadın ve 125 erkek olmak üzere toplam 352 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada, SPSS PROCESS makro eklentisi kullanılarak koşullu süreç analizi gerçekleştirilmiş ve araştırma hipotezleri test edilmiştir. Ayrıca, aracı değişkenin istatistiksel anlamlılığı için bootstrapping yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın korelasyon bulguları incelendiğinde, öznel zindelik ile hem sosyal medya bağımlılığı hem de phubbing arasında negatif bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra, sosyal medya bağımlılığı ile phubbing arasında anlamlı bir pozitif ilişki bulunmuştur. Koşullu süreç analizi bulguları, sosyal medya bağımlılığı ile öznel zindelik arasındaki ilişkide phubbingin kısmi aracılık rolü oynadığını ortaya koymuştur. Bootstrapping yöntemiyle elde edilen sonuçlar da bu aracılığın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğunu göstermiştir. Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen tüm bulgular, literatür ışığında tartışılmış ve hem ruh sağlığı uzmanlarına hem de araştırmacılara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
