Method: Participants of study consists of 312 university students. In data collection process, Smartphone Addiction Inventory Short Form-, Oxford Happiness Scale and General Belongingness Scale were used. In data analysis correlation analysis and structural equation modelling were used to reveal the associations among smartphone addiction, general belongingness and happiness levels of participants. Results: Results of study revealed a negative significant correlation between smartphone addiction and hapiness levels of participants. Moreover a positive significant correlation was found between smartphone addiction and rejection -the dimension of general belongingness-, whereas no significant correlation was found smartphone addiction and acceptance -the dimension of general belongingness-. Happiness levels of participants were found to be positively and significantly correlated with acceptance and negatively correlated with rejection. Path analysis showed that general belongingness predicted smartphone addiction in a positive way. General belongingness also predicted happiness directly and smartphone addiction negatively predicted happiness. Discussion: In sum, smartphone addiction was significantly correlated with both happiness and general belongingness levels of participants.

    Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic is a new and highly detrimental event that has influenced the world over. Besides the obvious health risks, COVID-19 has also affected people psychologically. The high risk of contamination can increase the perceived COVID-19 threat and death anxiety in individuals. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between perceived COVID-19 threat and death anxiety. Additionally, the study also investigated the role of gender, profession and income level in the perceived COVID-19 threat and death anxiety. Method: The research sample was composed of 562 individuals from the community. The data was gathered by using personal information form and the Perceived COVID-19 Threat Form, Self-Compassion Scale and Turkish Death Anxiety Scale. Results: The relationship between perceived COVID-19 threat and death anxiety was partially mediated by self-compassion. Moreover, people in the high income group had a lower level of perceived COVID-19 threat and death anxiety score compared to the low-income group. Perceived COVID-19 threat levels were lower among health care professionals compared to unemployed individuals. Female participants had a higher level of perceived COVID-19 threat and death anxiety score compared to male participants. Discussion: Self-compassion may be an essential variable to help cope with problems related to perceived COVID-19 threat and death anxiety. Improving our understanding of the psychological impacts of COVID-19 is necessary and essential.
