Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between digital addiction levels and the life satisfaction of students of various Sports Sciences Faculty and Physical Education and Sports Schools. For this purpose, 670 students of the Faculty of Sports Sciences and School of Physical Education and Sports studying in the departments of Coaching Education, Sports Management, Recreation and Physical Education and Sports Teaching at Şırnak University, Çukurova University, Mardin University, Istanbul Topkapı University, Istanbul Gelisim University and Istanbul Rumeli University voluntarily participated in the study. In the study, the data were collected through "personal information form", "Digital Addiction Scale" developed by Arslan, Kırık, Karaman, and Çetinkaya (2015) and used in the study titled "Digital Addiction in High School and University Students" Digital Addiction Scale" developed by Arslan, Kırık, Karaman, and Çetinkaya (2015) to determine the digital addiction of students. In order to determine the life satisfaction of the students, the "Life Satisfaction Scale" developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen and Griffin (1985) and the Turkish validity and reliability study conducted by Köker (1991) was used as a data collection tool. According to the findings obtained as a result of the study, significant differences were found between age groups in the sub-dimensions of play and impact on daily life; it was determined that the digital addiction scores of students in the 17-20 age group were higher. This finding reveals that young students tend to be more exposed to technology and digital content. According to another result, it is seen that gender creates a significant difference in the game sub-dimension of digital addiction, and the mean scores of males are higher.
