Sosyal medya günümüzde dünyanın birçok yerinde giderek popüler hale gelmiştir ve
bu durumun temel nedeni yeterli yenilik ve teknolojik gelişmelerdir. Böylelikle,
insanlar, İnternet üzerinden erişilebilen Instagram, Facebook ve Twitter gibi farklı
uygulamalar kullanarak birbirine kolayca bağlanabilir. Sonuç olarak, her firma sosyal
medyaya odaklanmakta ve geniş kapsamlı olduğu kadar ekonomik özelliği nedeniyle
de pazarlama bileşeni olarak kullanmaktadır.
Bu çalışma, Kuzey Kıbrıs'ta satın alma karar sürecinde sosyal medyanın tüketici
davranışları üzerindeki etkisini ampirik olarak incelemektedir. Ayrıca, toplanan
veriler, incelenen gruplar arasında önemli farklılıklar olup olmadığını araştırmak için
Frekans, Tanımlayıcı İstatistikler, Bağımsız T-Testi ve Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi
(ANOVA) ile tespit edilir.
Çalışmanın sonucu, katılımcıların çoğunluğunun bilgi edinmek, ürün ve hizmet satın
almak için sosyal medya kullanımı konusunda olumlu olduğunu göstermektedir.

kullanmakla daha az ilgilenen sınırlı sayıda katılımcı bulunmaktadır.
