 Teknolojik ilerlemenin her yaştan bireyi etkilediği günümüz ortamında, öğrenme ve kişisel gelişim aşamasında olan gençlerin değerlerinin bu değişimden ne kadar etkilendiğini belirlemek önemli bir araştırma konusudur. Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğrencilerin sosyal medya tutumlarının ve sosyal medya kullanımlarının değerler üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. Karma yöntemle yürütülen araştırmada sosyal medya tutum ölçeği, sosyal medyanın temel değerlere etkisi ölçeği ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyetinin tüm bölgelerinde yürütülen araştırmanın nicel boyutuna 457 ortaokul ve lise öğrencisi, nitel boyutuna ise 45 öğrenci ve 33 öğretmen katılmıştır. Araştırmaya göre, öğrencilerin hem sosyal medya tutumları hem de sosyal medyanın değerler üzerindeki etkilerine ilişkin algıları yüksektir. Öğrencilerin sosyal medyaya yönelik tutumları ile sosyal medyanın değerleri etkilediğine ilişkin algıları arasında yüksek düzeyde pozitif bir ilişki olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Dayanışma, paylaşma, yardımseverlik, vatanseverlik, duyarlılık ve doğa sevgisi sosyal medyanın kullanımıyla artan değerler olarak ifade edilmiştir. Sosyal medya kullanımıyla birlikte sosyallik, empati, sevgi, saygı, dürüstlük, sorumluluk ve çalışkanlık değerlerinin azaldığı belirtildi. Özellikle dürüstlük, şeffaflık ve mahremiyet açısından kazandırılması amaçlanan değerler için zengin içerikler hazırlanabilir, bireysel ve kurumsal çalışmalar arttırılabilir.
