Sosyal medya, sürekli gelişen teknolojisiyle kuşaklar üzerinde etkili olduğu kadar en aktif kullanıcılarından biri olan Y kuşağının romantik ilişkileri kapsamında da oldukça etkindir. Y kuşağının, teknoloji sever ve sosyal medyayı sık ve etkin kullanan bireylerden oluştuğu, sosyal medyanın da Y kuşağı üzerinde etkisinin fazla olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu etki sadece içerik oluşturma, paylaşım, sosyalleşme, bağlantılı kalma, etkileşim, arkadaşlık, bilgi akışı, öğrenme gibi faaliyetlerle sınırlı değildir. Sosyal medya kullanımının giderek artmasıyla çiftler, ilişkilerini sosyal medyada herkese göstererek yaşama eğilimi göstermektedirler. Sosyal medya kullanımını günlük hayatlarının birer parçası haline getiren çiftler, sosyal medyayı sadece ilişkilerini duyurmak, ifade etmek için değil aynı zamanda partnerlerini kontrol etmek, gözetlemek ve haklarında bilgi almak için de kullanmaya başlamışlardır. Sosyal medyanın romantik ilişkileri nasıl etkilediği konulu bu çalışmanın amacı, Y kuşağının sosyal medya pratiklerinin, romantik ilişkilerindeki davranışları üzerindeki rolünü ölçmektir. Y kuşağını temsil eden 406 kişiye anket uygulanmıştır. Kıskançlık ve gözetim davranışları ile cinsiyet grupları arasında anlamlı bir fark tespit edilememiş ancak en kıskanç grubun bekar ve ilişkisi olmayanlar olduğu; evli olmayan çiftlerin sosyal medyada kıskanma ve gözetim davranışının evli olan çiftlere göre daha fazla olduğu saptanmıştır. Y kuşağı bireylerinde yaş ilerledikçe sosyal medyada partnerlerini kıskanma ve gözetleme eğiliminin azaldığı görülmüştür.
Social media is also very effective in the romantic relationships of the Y generation, which is one of the most active users with its continuously developing technology, as well as one of the most active users on generations. It is known that the Y generation is made up of individuals who love technology and use social media frequently and effectively, and that the social media has more influence on the Y generation. This effect is not limited only to activities such as content creation, sharing, socialization, connectivity, interaction, friendship, information flow, learning. As the use of social media increases, couples tend to live by showing their relationships to everyone on social media. The couples who have made the use of social media part of their daily lives have begun to use social media not only to announce, express their relationships but also to control, monitor and obtain information about their rights. The aim of this study on how social media affects romantic relationships is to measure the role of the Y generation’s social media practices on their behavior in romantic relationships. 406 people who represent the Y generation were surveyed. There is no significant difference between jealousy and supervisory behaviors and gender groups, but the most jealous group is the single and non-related; unmarried couples have more jealousy and supervisory behaviors on social media than married couples. As people age, the tendency to jealous and monitor their partners on social media has decreased.
