In the meantime, technology addiction is confronting us as an important issue. Especially with the development and common use of mobile technologies, the levels of addiction to social media are expanding. The aim of this study is to measure the Facebook addiction levels of the Physical Education and Sports Teaching students that are studying in the Sports Sciences Faculty and examine their Facebook addiction levels concerning a number of variables. Descriptive method was used within the framework of the study and the “Facebook Addiction Survey” developed by Çam and ??bulan (2012) was used as the data collection tool. 274 volunteer students participated in the study.
