Özet:

 The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of cognitive flexibility between fear of missing out FoMO and internet addiction. 389 university students voluntarily participated in the study. Fear of Missing Out Scale, Young Internet Addiction Test Short Form, Cognitive Flexibility Scale, and Personal Information Form were used to collect the data for the research. The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the relationships between the variables. The mediating role of cognitive flexibility in the relationship between participants fear of missing out and internet addiction was tested with the structural equation model. According to the findings, positive correlations were found between the fear of missing out and internet addiction, and negative correlations with cognitive flexibility. A negative correlation was found between cognitive flexibility and internet addiction. Moreover, cognitive flexibility mediates the relationship between the fear of missing out and internet addiction. As a result of the bootstrapping analysis for larger samples, the model of the research was confirmed. As a result, as the fear of missing out on university students increases, cognitive flexibility levels decrease; as cognitive flexibility decreases, internet addiction levels increase.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu FoMO ile internet bağımlılığı arasında bilişsel esnekliğin aracılık rolünün incelenmesidir. Araştırmaya 389 üniversite öğrencisi gönüllü katılmıştır. Araştırmada Gelişmeleri Kaçırma Korkusu Ölçeği, Young İnternet Bağımlılığı Testi Kısa Formu, Bilişsel Esneklik Ölçeği ve Kişisel Bilgi formu araştırmanın verilerini toplamak amacıyla kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek için Pearson korelasyon katsayısı hesaplanmıştır. Katılımcıların gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu ile internet bağımlılığı arasındaki ilişkide bilişsel esnekliğin aracılık rolü yapısal eşitlik modeli ile sınanmıştır. Bulgulara göre gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu ile internet bağımlılığı arasında pozitif yönde bilişsel esneklik ile negatif yönde ilişkiler bulunmuştur. Bilişsel esneklik ile internet bağımlılığı arasında negatif yönde ilişki bulunmuştur. Dahası, gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu ile internet bağımlılığı arasındaki ilişkide bilişsel esneklik aracılık etmektedir. Daha büyük örneklemler için yapılan bootstrapping analizi sonucunda araştırmanın modeli doğrulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, üniversite öğrencilerinde gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu arttıkça bilişsel esneklik düzeyleri azalmakta, bilişsel esneklik düzey azaldıkça internet bağımlılığı düzeyleri artmaktadır.
