Nesneleştirilmiş Beden Bilincinin Dindarlık ile Selfitiş Davranış İlişkisindeki Rolü

Selfitis, which is used in the sense of showing intense interest in selfie-taking behavior, is a concept that has been the subject of research due to the increasing addiction to technology and has recently entered the literature. Although selfitis is associated with mental health, it is not considered as an indicator of any pathology and is considered as a concept that includes attitudes towards selfie-taking behavior. Based on the widespread religious discourse's critical attitude towards vanity, exposure, and commodifying the human body, it can be arugued that there might be a relationship between selfitis behavior and religiosity, and objectified body consciousness might have a role in changing the strength of this relationship. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between selfitis behavior and intrinsic religious motivation and the moderator effect of objectified body consciousness on this relationship. In this study, which was conducted with 311 participants, 48 male and 263 female, studying at Afyon Kocatepe University, Selfitis Scale, Objectified Body Consciousness Scale and Intrinsic Religious Motivation Scale were used. SPSS 26 and SPSS PROCESS 3.5 were used to process the data. Findings show that intrinsic religious motivation negatively predicts selfitis behavior and body surveillance, which is a sub-dimension of objectified body consciousness, reduces the effect of intrinsic religious motivation on selfitis behavior.
