Özet:

 Objective: Our study examined the relationship between purpose of social media use, perceived social support, and cyberbullying among adolescent girls with or without major depressive disorder MDD. Patients and Methods: Fifty-two adolescent girls aged 13-18 years with a diagnosis of MDD were recruited. The control group consisted of 51 adolescents who were matched for age and gender. The adolescents completed a sociodemographic form, the Childhood Depression Inventory CDI, the Social Media Attitude Scale SMAS, the Cyberbullying Scale CBS, and the Social Support Appraisal Scale for Children SSAS. Results: Social media use was significantly higher among adolescent girls with MDD P0.001. They had significantly higher social isolation P0.006 and cyberbullying scores P0.013. They used more social media for social skills P0.001 and their perceptions of social support levels were lower than adolescents without MDD P0.001. Cyberbullying was inversely related to perceived social support P0.015 and positively related to social media use for social competence P0.004 e.g., satisfying the need for esteem. Conclusion: This study suggests that increases in social competence problems and decreases in perceived social support were associated with being a victim of cyberbullying. In depressed adolescents, cyberbullying can be prevented by interventions aimed at promoting social competence and obtaining sufficient support.
