Özet:

In this study, it was examined whether the digital addiction and life satisfaction of high school students studying in Mezitli district of Mersin in the 2019-2020 academic year differentiate according to the variables such as gender, school type, grade level, number of siblings, perceived academic success, presence of their own phone, having computer at home, daily computer use, family income, parents' education status, daily study time, participation in social activities, family attitude and mother working status. According to the results obtained from the study, both digital addiction and life satisfaction of male students are higher than female students. As the grade level increases, students' digital addiction and life satisfaction decrease. It can be said that this situation stems from the exam anxiety experienced by senior high school students. While the low number of siblings drags the participants into the digital environment, it can be said that those with a high number of siblings display traditional behaviors in playing games and do not need digital environments. It is observed that as the perceived academic achievement increases, digital addiction decreases and life satisfaction increases. Apart from these, the results obtained about other demographic information are included in the study.
