3.3. Socio-Demographic Information Form

In order to determine the socio-demographic characteristics of participants and to measure the effects of these variables on social media addiction and depression levels, a form prepared by the researchers consisting of 17 questions was developed to measure the variables of interest. In addition to the basic demographic characteristics such as participants’ age, gender, educational status, marital status, etc., the researchers aimed to measure variables such as how long participants have been using social media, for what purpose social media had been used, and the duration of daily use of social media.
