Internet and social media addiction and delayed behavior have been the subject of research in recent years and have been regarded as a pathological disorder by many psychological authorities. When the area of social media addiction and delay behavior is studied, there is no sufficient number of studies on teachers. In this context, this study aims to study the relationship between teachers’ social media addiction levels and general delay behaviors. The data of the research designed in the Relational Scanning Model were collected from 100 teachers with the "Adult Form of Social Media Addiction Scale" and the "General Delay Scale". In the analysis of the data, the frequency, percentage, and the image statistics have been taken advantage of local statistics such as t-test for gender variables and regression analysis for relative analyses. In all analyses, the meaning level is considered p<.05 . The research finds that 53% of teachers are medium and high-degree social media addicts, their overall retardation behavior trends are above the average, and there is a strong positive relationship between the levels of social media addiction and the overall retardation behavior trends. The influence of gender change has not been found.
