Amaç: Psikolojik iyi oluş, farkındalık ve sosyal medya kullanımı ile ilişkili bir kavramdır. Literatürde bu ilişkinin doğası ve altında yatan aracı mekanizmalar hakkında sınırlı bilgi mevcuttur. Ayrıca bilinçli farkındalık ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide sosyal medya kullanımı ve internette geçirilen zamanın aracı rolünü belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya 429 genç dahil edilmiştir. Veriler, tanıtıcı bilgi formu, sosyal medya kullanım ölçeği, psikolojik iyi oluş ölçeği ve bilinçli farkındalık ölçeği aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde yapısal eşitlik modelleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Bulgular, bilinçli farkındalık ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasında anlamlı bir pozitif korelasyon bulunduğunu ve farkındalık ile internette harcanan zaman arasında anlamlı bir negatif korelasyon bulunduğunu göstermiştir. Farkındalık ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide sosyal medya kullanımı bir aracı rolü oynamazken, internette harcanan zaman bir aracı rolü olduğu görülmektedir.
Sonuç: Adölesanlarda bilinçli farkındalık artıkça psikolojik iyi oluşun arttığı, internette harcanan zamanın azaldığı saptanmıştır. Bilinçli farkındalık ile psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide sosyal medya kullanımının aracı bir rolü yokken, internette geçirilen süre aracı bir etkiye sahiptir. Sosyal medya kullanımının psikolojik iyi oluş ve bilinçli farkındalık üzerindeki etkisi konusunda gelecekte farklı grup ve değişkenlerle araştırma yapılması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
