THE MEDIA'S RELATIONSHIP WITH VIOLENCE PROBLEMS, A SOCIAL PROBLEM: PREVENTABLE VIOLENCE

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this research was to determine the extent to which attempts to explain the preventability of media violence contribute to the body of knowledge. This investigation employs structural equation modeling (SEM). The questionnaire method is utilized to determine the potential predictability of the effects of media violence on public health. The sample consisted of 405 people. The research employed the most common data collection technique, a questionnaire. Participants in the study, who use all forms of media in Turkey and range in age from 13 to 75, were sent online survey questionnaires via a link to a website for online surveys (Google Survey). The study's findings reveal the relationship between the independent variables of age, gender, marital status, level of education, level of income, place of residence, daily internet usage rate and security perception, and the digital violence and response to violence scale. The results of the structural equation model analysis demonstrate that sexual, psychological, and physical violence occur in the digital environment. This demonstrates that the virtual environment is just as dangerous and unsettling as the real world. Sensitivity is required when engaging in social communication within the digital environment. Regarding the mental health of the populace, it becomes apparent that certain legal, practical, and technological arrangements are required.
