Abstract :Objectives: In this study, mindfulness (MN) and satisfaction of psychological needs (SPN) were considered as structures that protect adolescents’ mental health against social media disorder (SMD). The main purpose of the study was to examine the relationships between MN levels, SPN levels and SMD levels of adolescents and to examine the predictive level of MN and SPN on SMD levels of adolescents. Methods: The model was predictive associational survey model. The sample was consisted of 521 adolescents (Mage: 16,02; SD: 1,16; %37 girls, %67 boys) from the central districts of Izmir province in Turkey. Data were collected by Social Media Disorder Scale, Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale – Adolescents, Psychological Need Satisfaction Scale with a questionnaire to gather demographic information. Results: Results showed that there were negative correlations between mindfulness levels and SMD levels, between the satisfaction of competence need levels and SMD levels. There were positive correlations between the satisfaction of relatedness need levels and the SMD levels. There was no significant relationship between the satisfaction need for autonomy and social media disorder. Mindfulness, satisfaction of competence need and relatedness need together, predict the social media disorder levels of adolescents significantly and they explain 26,1% of the total variance. Conclusion: Mindfulness and competence need satisfaction protect adolescents from social media disorder more than a quarter. However as the need to be related increases, social media disorder increase.Keywords : Sosyal medya bozukluğu, bilinçli farkındalık, temel psikolojik ihtiyaçlar, psikolojik ihtiyaçların doyumu.
