Abstract:
Together the Internet and the Web have profoundly affected our life for the past decades. Today, we can use the Web for communication, education, business, entertainment and searching information. In recent years, the use of Facebook has become widespread worldwide, especially among young generations. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the attitudes of undergraduate students toward Facebook use. Research data were obtained by surveying the undergraduate students of the Department of Business Administration and the Department of Economics at a public university in Turkey. According to results of the study; the attitudes of those who don’t use Facebook toward Facebook use are more negative than Facebook users. Some attitudes of female Facebook users toward Facebook use are more negative compared to male Facebook users.
