Abstract
This study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effect of exercise addiction levels of hearing impaired and non-hearing impaired individuals on social comparison according to different variables. In our study, the "exercise addiction scale" adapted into Turkish by Tekkurşun-Demir et al., (2018) was used in order to measure the exercise addiction levels of the participants and the "social comparison scale" developed by Allan & Gilbert (1995), was used in its latest adaptation to Turkish. In the collection of data, the electronic survey method prepared over Google Forms was preferred. In the analysis of the data obtained through the STATA 14.1 package program, One-Way ANOVA was used to examine the differences of variables, and Pearson Correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between variables. A total of 172 volunteers living and studying in the Kayseri region of Turkey participated in our study. While there was a significant difference (P 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the social comparison level and the postponing of individual and social needs / conflict variables for both groups compared (P> 0.05).It was determined that the results of the correlation analysis for non-hearing impaired individuals supported the results obtained in the ANOVA analysis (P> 0.05). In the correlation analysis for hearing impaired individuals, between excessive focus and emotional change, which is one of the sub-dimensions of the exercise addiction scale, and social comparison, positive and statistically significant relationship was determined (P
