Cyberloafing behavior is an important concept recently emphasized in business life. In today's digital world, bringing students' internet-connected devices to the classroom, and using them for non-educational purposes, can be problematic for students' academic performance as well as for educator. The intensity of social network usage and uninterrupted time on the internet affects students' cyberloafing behaviors. The most important of these negative effects is the negative effect on the attention and focus ability of the students. In this study, it was aimed to reveal the relationship between social network use intensities of the university students and the duration of uninterrupted periods on the internet and cyberloafing behaviors. In this respect, the relationship between social network use intensities and their existence in cyberloafing behaviors were determined. The sample of the study consisted of 450 students at a public university. Quantitative research method was used in the research and data were collected and analyzed by using SPSS statistical program. While young people using social networks have significant cyberloafing behaviors, it is considered that young people who spend less time on social networking sites show insignificant cyberloafing behaviors. In addition, it was observed that social network usage density and uninterrupted internet access times differed according to the demographic characteristics of youth.
