A Research on the Narration Motivations of University Youth Through Social Media

Duygu Aydın

In digital platforms that connect people from all over the world, users are producers as well as consumers. Narration is an intrinsic feature of digital media as a method of expressing and establishing dialog. In communication of visual expressions, the metaphoric narrative style is a form of narration used very frequently by individual users. Those events which create influence by becoming an agenda topic on a social or global scale turn into collective stories on digital platforms. Different motivations can be influential in an individual sense in formation of the stories with metaphoric narrative style. This study analyzed the motivations for the metaphoric narrative style, which forms spontaneously with a common consensus in the events becoming an agenda topic on digital platforms. The study was conducted through the online survey technique with Selçuk University students. Factor analysis was applied to the data obtained from the participants for the purpose of analyzing the motivations of doing narration and sharing with the metaphoric narrative style on social media. These motivations were described with five factors being ‘Personal Satisfaction’, ‘Expressing the Content Effectively’, ‘Engaging the Agenda/Togetherness’, ‘Being Producer’ and ‘Escape from Reality/Story-making’.

Üniversite Gençliğinin Sosyal Medyada Hikâyeleştirme Motivasyonları Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Duygu Aydın

Dünyanın dört bir tarafından insanları birbirine bağlayan dijital platformlarda kullanıcılar, tüketici olmanın yanı sıra üreticidirler. Kullanıcılar farklı motivasyonlar ve kendilerine özgü öyküleme tarzıyla gündemdeki konulara ilişkin içerik üretmekte ve paylaşmaktadır. İçerik üretimlerinde öyküleyici anlatım yaklaşımının ve görsel içeriklerde metaforik anlatı tarzının sıklıkla kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Toplumsal ya da dünya ölçeğinde gündem olarak etki yaratan olaylar dijital platformlarda kolektif hikâyelere dönüşmektedir. Pek çok insan ortak gündeme ilişkin bireysel yorumunu paylaşarak ya da bireysel içeriğini üreterek kolektif hikâyenin bir parçası olmaktadır. Metaforik anlatı tarzıyla kolektif hikâyelerin oluşmasında, kullanıcılar farklı motivasyonlarla hareket edebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada dijital platformlarda gündem olan olaylarda adeta ortak bir uzlaşmayla kendiliğinden oluşan metaforik öyküleme tarzının motivasyonları irdelenmiştir. “Dijital platformlarda kullanıcıların ürettikleri içeriklerde paylaşım tercihleri ne yöndedir?” “Paylaşımlarda içerikleri dönüştürerek metaforik anlatı tarzıyla öyküleme motivasyonları nelerdir?” gibi soruların cevapları aranmıştır. Araştırma Selçuk Üniversitesi öğrencileri üzerinde çevrim içi anket tekniğiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sosyal medyada metaforik anlatı tarzıyla öyküleme ve paylaşım yapma motivasyonlarını analiz etmek amacıyla, katılımcılardan elde edilen verilere faktör analizi uygulanmıştır. ‘Kişisel Tatmin’, ‘İçeriği Etkili İfade Etme’, ‘Gündeme Dâhil Olma/Birliktelik’, ‘Üretici Olma’, ‘Gerçeklikten Kaçış/Hikâyeleştirme’ olmak üzere beş faktör ile bu motivasyonlar açıklanmıştır.
