The Interaction of Social Media Addiction and Communication Anxiety During the COVID-19 Period: The Case of Individuals Over 65 in Konya Province
Abstract
While it is known that the COVID-19 epidemic has adversely affected many countries in the world, the stress and anxiety experienced by elderly individuals, especially during pandemic periods, has been more than that of younger individuals. The avoidance of the disease, especially by individuals over the age of 65, has prevented these individuals from communicating face-to-face with other people. In this context, the main purpose of the research is to determine the effect of communication concerns of individuals over the age of 65 on social media addiction. The research question was determined as “Does the communication anxiety seen in individuals over the age of 65 have an effect on social media addiction during the COVID-19 process?” In order to answer the research question, a study was conducted on the population of individuals over the age of 65 living in Konya. 423 individuals who use social media actively participated in the research. As a result of the research, it was determined that communication anxiety strengthens social media addiction behavior.
