Abstract :This research aims to examine the relationship between university students\\\' social anxiety, loneliness, and levels of falling into the time traps of the modern age. The study group consists of a total of 378 students from two different state universities, using a relational screening model. The data collection tools used are the \\\"Time Traps Scale of the Modern Age Scale\\\" (Tortumlu and Uzun, 2023), the \\\"Social Anxiety Scale\\\" (Can and Bozgün, 2021), and the \\\"Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults\\\" (Akgül, 2020). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS and AMOS programs. The findings indicate that students\\\' levels of falling into the time traps of the modern age are above average, their social anxiety levels are at an average level, and their loneliness levels are below average. Additionally, a positive relationship was found between the time traps of the modern age and social anxiety, while no significant relationship was observed between loneliness and the time traps of the modern age. Finally, a significant positive relationship was identified between social anxiety and loneliness.
