Abstract

Social networks, where access is provided through mobile phones via the internet, have transformed our communication habits, while also paving the way for social media addiction. As social media addiction harms all areas of a person’s life, this research has focused on identifying the addictions of young people who have not started their professional life yet. Considering that technology is involved in people’s lives to different extents in different countries, country comparisons are considered important in digital addiction research. This study aims to compare social media addiction among university students from South Korea and Turkey.
