The Mediating Roles of Interpersonal Mindfulness and Psychological Resilience in the Effect of Exposure to Phubbing on Perceived Stress
Sosyotelizme Maruz Kalmanın Algılanan Stres Üzerindeki Etkisinde Kişilerarası Farkındalık ve Psikolojik Sağlamlığın Aracı Rolleri
This study investigates the effect of exposure to sociotelism on perceived stress and examines the mediating roles of interpersonal mindfulness and psychological resilience in this relationship. Sociotelism refers to a contemporary form of social exclusion in which individuals focus on their smartphones instead of attending to their interaction partners during face-to-face communication. Increasingly prevalent in the digital age, this behavior has been associated with disruptions in social interaction as well as negative psychological outcomes. Previous research suggests that sociotelism is linked to higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and lower life satisfaction. The study was conducted with 407 adults aged 24 to 55 using an online survey method within a correlational research design. Participants completed the General Phubbing Exposure Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Interpersonal Mindfulness Scale, and the Psychological Resilience Scale. Data were analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling.Findings indicated that exposure to sociotelism significantly increased perceived stress and negatively predicted interpersonal mindfulness and psychological resilience. Moreover, both variables were found to partially mediate the relationship between sociotelism and perceived stress. Overall, the results highlight the protective roles of interpersonal mindfulness and psychological resilience against adverse social experiences in the digital era.
Bu araştırma, sosyotelizme maruz kalmanın algılanan stres üzerindeki etkisini ve bu ilişkide kişilerarası farkındalık ile psikolojik sağlamlığın aracı rollerini incelemektedir. Sosyotelizm, sosyal etkileşim sırasında bireyin karşısındaki kişiye odaklanmak yerine akıllı telefon kullanmasıyla ortaya çıkan ve çağdaş dönemde yaygınlaşan bir sosyal dışlanma biçimidir. Önceki çalışmalar, sosyotelizmin sosyal etkileşimi zayıflatmanın ötesinde stres, kaygı, depresyon ve düşük yaşam doyumu gibi psikolojik iyi oluş göstergeleriyle ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırma, 24–55 yaş aralığında 407 yetişkinle çevrimiçi anket yöntemiyle yürütülmüştür. İlişkisel desen kapsamında katılımcılara Genel Phubbing’e Maruz Kalma Ölçeği, Algılanan Stres Ölçeği, Kişilerarası Farkındalık Ölçeği ve Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Veriler Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi ve Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, sosyotelizme maruz kalmanın algılanan stresi artırdığını ve kişilerarası farkındalık ile psikolojik sağlamlığı negatif yönde yordadığını ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca her iki değişkenin sosyotelizm ile stres arasındaki ilişkide kısmi aracı rol üstlendiği belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar, kişilerarası farkındalık ve psikolojik sağlamlığın dijital çağın olumsuz sosyal deneyimlerine karşı koruyucu psikososyal kaynaklar olduğunu göstermektedir.
