Abstract The fact that the number of users of social networks has started to decrease has led to the emergence of a new concept in communication sciences: “social network fatigue”. The concept has not yet been defined with clear judgments. That is why it makes it necessary to conduct a lot of research. It is suggested that the definition process of the concept will be expanded with the researches to be carried out within the scope of models. It is expected that the models will expand their boundaries by Deciphering the results of the relationship between social network fatigue and independent variables by antecedents. the research on social network fatigue, which started to be examined in 2012, has been structured towards the precursors in the light of a model as of 2015. Social network fatigue has not yet been included in the Turkish literature. This research is basically discussed with the aim of eliminating this deficiency and guiding the research that can be done in the future. The research was designed with descriptive content analysis since the phenomenon is new, and the trends of all model-specific research were tried to be determined. At the end of the research, it was determined that the precursors of social network fatigue were mostly determined in the stressor-strain-consequence (SSO) model with the independent variables of information, communication, sociability and system overload. Finally, the researchers recommended that social network fatigue studies that can be conducted in Turkey should also be conducted with the SSO model in order to expand the premises, since the concept is still in the development stage. The researchers think that with the increase of the studies to be carried out based on the model and the addition of different variables, the precursors of this new concept will also gain volume.
