Abstract:

The aim of this study is to identify the levels of fear of kidnapping (FoMO) and cyber-related behaviors they perform in a computer laboratory and to study the relationship between them. The study is a quantitative research carried out on the basis of the visual scan model. As a data collection tool, the personal information form has been used, the "GKKÖ" which has been adapted to the Turkish language by Sky, Aydin, Ünal and Metintaş (2016) and the "Cyber Disability Activities Measure" which has been updated by Yaşar (2013) and the "Cyber Disability Activities Measure". The universe of research is formed by teachers candidates who study at the Anadolu University, Fırat University and Necmettin Erbakan University Education Faculty. The selection of the sample used the appropriate sample method, and 79 women and 62 men who voluntarily fill out the form sent to them online from these universities make up the sample of the study with a total of 141 teachers candidates. On the obtained data, independent samples have been tested, single-factor anova for independent samples, simple correlation and simple linear regression tests have been carried out. According to the results of the study, the level of fear of missing the development of the teacher candidates is medium and does not vary according to gender. Also, the level of cyber vulnerability of the teacher candidates is above the average and vary according to gender. Teacher candidates' cyber-deficiency and fear of misleading developments levels are not different according to the university they study. In addition, there is a meaningful relationship between the levels of fear of kidnapping of the development of teachers candidates and the social cyber degradation behavior. Fear of misleading developments is a meaningful promoter of social cyber-disruption behavior.
