Summary/Abstract: In this study, in the 2019-2020 academic year, students studying at imam hatip high schools (IHL) in Çorum province center are expected to study the attitudes of social media in terms of various variables. The sample, which was determined by the “Simple Sampling” method, consists of 420 students in the 9, 10, 11 and 12th grades of the schools. “Personal Information Questionnaire” and “Social Media Attitude Scale” developed by Otrar and Argin were used to collect research data. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the 23-item social media attitude scale was 0.75. SPSS package program was used to evaluate the data collected through questionnaire and scale. T test and one-way variance analysis (Anova) were used for independent groups to test research problems. In multiple comparisons, Tamhane’s T2 test, which is a post-hoc test, was used. A significance level of 0.05 was taken as the basis for testing the hypotheses. According to the research findings, the social media attitude level of the students (X ̅=3,13) was found to be partially positive. According to their gender, a statistically significant difference was found between the social media attitude scale scores of the students in favor of the boys. In addition, while the scores obtained from the scale do not differ significantly according to the grade levels of the students and the social network they use the most (p> 0.05), there were significant differences between the groups according to their usage time of social media networks, the purpose of using social media networks and the feeling they felt when they did not get the expected likes in the social media network (p <0.05).
