Özet:

 Facebook provides an opportunity to establish romantic relationships, yet it can lead to consequences of keeping the partners under control and feeling Facebook jealousy. In the literature, there is a limited number of studies that have examined the associations between Facebook jealousy and other related variables like attachment, multidimensional jealousy, and loneliness. Hence, this study aims to examine the mediating role of jealousy and loneliness in the association between attachment and Facebook jealousy in a Turkish sample. Data were collected from 220 participants who are between 18-65 years old, using Facebook, and being involved in a romantic relationship. Results of the path analysis revealed that jealousy predicted Facebook jealousy at a high level, while anxious attachment and avoidant attachment predicted Facebook jealousy moderately. On the other hand, loneliness did not predict Facebook jealousy significantly. The mediating role of jealousy was found to be significant in the association between avoidant attachment and Facebook jealousy, while loneliness did not have a significant mediating role in this association. Besides, the mediator role of loneliness and jealousy in the association between anxious attachment and Facebook jealousy was not significant. The results of the study were discussed, and further research recommendations to investigate the associations among attachment, Facebook jealosy, and other social media jealosy among participants with different relationship status e.g. flirting, engaged, married with within group and between group analyses were done.

 Facebook kullanımının, romantik ilişkilerin kurulmasına fırsat sağlamakla beraber, partnerlerin birbirlerini kontrol etmesine ve Facebook kıskançlığına yol açabildiği görülmektedir. Literatürde çok boyutlu kıskançlık, bağlanma, yalnızlık gibi ilgili değişkenlerin Facebook kıskançlığı ile ilişkisinin incelendiği çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Bu bağlamda bu çalışma, kıskançlığın ve yalnızlığın, bağlanma ile Facebook kıskançlığı arasındaki ilişkide aracı rolünün incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Veriler 18-65 yaş arasında, romantik ilişkisi olan ve hem kendisi hem de partneri Facebook kullanıcısı olan 220 katılımcıdan toplanmıştır. Yol analizi sonuçları, kıskançlığın Facebook kıskançlığını yüksek düzeyde yordadığını, kaygılı ve kaçınan bağlanmanın ise orta düzeyde yordadığını ortaya koyarken, yalnızlığın ise Facebook kıskançlığını istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yordamadığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, kaçınan bağlanmayla Facebook kıskançlığı arasındaki ilişkide kıskançlığın aracı rolü anlamlı bulunurken, yalnızlığın anlamlı bir aracı rolünün olmadığı bulunmuştur. Kaygılı bağlanma ile Facebook kıskançlığı arasındaki ilişkide ise yalnızlığın ya da kıskançlığın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı herhangi bir aracı rolünün olmadığı bulunmuştur. Bulgular ilgili literatür ışığında tartışılarak ileriki araştırmalarda farklı ilişki durumlarını sözlü, nişanlı, evli çiftler vb. kapsayan örneklemler dikkate alınarak ve bağlanma türleri, Facebook kıskançlığı, diğer sosyal medya araçlarının kullanımıyla doğan kıskançlık türlerini de entegre ederek, gruplar arası ve gruplar içi çalışmalar yapılması önerilmiştir.
