dc.description.abstractAchieving and maintaining happiness has always been a matter of curiosity for individuals. Based on this curiosity, this study examined the relationships between some variables that affect the level of happiness in university students. The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of mind wandering in the relationship between short video flow and happiness in university students. The study group consisted of 335 students, 175 female and 160 male, studying in different departments at Bayburt University. The Short Depression-Happiness Scale, Short Video Flow Scale and Mind Wandering Scale were used as data collection instruments. The relationships between the variables in the study were examined using the Pearson correlation coefficient, and the mediating role of mind wandering was tested within the framework of structural equation modelling using the SPSS PROCESS macro program. As a result of the analysis, it was found that there was a negative relationship between short video flow and happiness, a positive relationship between short video flow and mind wandering, and a negative relationship between mind wandering and happiness. The mediation analysis showed that mind wandering played a significant mediating role in the relationship between short video flow and happiness. The results of the study can contribute to the awareness of digital media use among university students and provide new perspectives for mental health professionals.
