However, the impact on career performance needed more research. - Another study found that most students used social networking sites as an informal learning tool to connect with peers for help with studies. However, opinions were split on interacting with teachers on social media. - Most well-structured studies found no significant negative impact of social media usage on academic performance, though factors like addiction, time spent online, and cognitive absorption were linked to poorer performance.

    REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

    Review of Related Literature

    The two researchers evaluate the pattern and frequency of Facebook use among

    university students while focusing gender that majority of the users (61%) agree that

    this social medium has adverse effects on their academic performance. Further

    analysis reveals that among these 61%, majority of the respondents were male. In

    addition to adverse effects of Facebook on academic performance, there was also an

    opinion that use of Facebook makes it hard for them to perform the best on their

    career performance. However the researcher feels that the later opinion is not very

    clear and established and needs further investigation.

    These research analysis s hows that using social media especially in terms of

    using Facebook is equally popular among male and female student of the university

    under study. The researchers evaluate that majority of the users agree that these social

    medium has adverse effects on their academic performance. These study related in

    our study in the way of investigating about the effects of social media on their

    academic achievements among students. They are both undertaking through analyzing

    a random sample of respondents.

    Hamat, Embi, & Hassan (2012) studied the use of social networking platforms

    among undergraduate and postgraduate students of Malaysian institutes of higher

    education. This qualitative research collected data on 6358 student respondents

    through a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed this data to make observations

    on the use of social networking sites among them. The study also collects opinion of

    students about the impacts of social medium on their academic performance.


    One of the very significant findings of the study is about the use of social

    networking sites for the purpose of learning. Majority of the respondents agree that

    they use SNSs as informal learning tool and that it helps them connect to their friends

    and peers to get help regarding their studies. However, in case of interaction with

    teachers, an equal split of opposite opinions exist.

    This study also supports the most common finding of majority of well-

    structured studies that use of social networking sites has no significantly negative

    impact on the students’ academic performance. They further state that the possibility

    of some other factors like social media addiction, more time on internet, chatting,

    cognitive absorption etc. linked with the use of internet or specifically social

    networking sites may cause poor academic performance.

    The above literature review shows that other students are using social media

    for their learning, they use it as a learning tool. It has a significant on our study

    because the use of social media can affect the academic performance in a positive and

    negative way. Social media addiction is the top negative effect that may cause poor

    academic performance.

    Negussie & Ketema (2014) further investigated if there is any impact of using

    Facebook while accessing through different devices. Among a variety of devices, it

    was found that the correlation between using Facebook on mobile devices and

    students grades is highly negative as compared to using Facebook on other devices.

    This adverse effect is explained by the fact that using cellphones for social

    networking activities may involve multitasking and all students are not equally

    efficient in multitasking skills. The study suggests, that students must be encouraged

    to use social networking sites for educational purposes instead of blocking these

    platforms in the educational premises.


    These study has a correlation in our study because they both proving that using

    social media has a big impact in the academic achievement among students.

    Rouis, Limayem, & Salehi-Sangari (2011) investigate the effects of using

    Facebook on academic performance of undergraduate students at Lulea University of

    Technology Sweden in relation to their personality traits. The proposed research

    model tests how Facebook usage effects performance of students with different

    personality traits. In addition the research tries to justify the relationship among the

    three i.e. Facebook usage, personality traits and academic performance. Their analysis

    of 239 students’ data reveals very significant results. This research establishes that

    using Facebook has strong negative impact on academic performance of students with

    extrovert personalities. However, factor of self-regulation among students greatly

    reduces this negative impact as they have high level of effective self-control while

    using social media platforms. Cognitive absorption, which defines of deep

    involvement, is another personality factor taken into consideration while undertaking

    this research.

    Rouis, Limayem & Salehi-Sangari (2011) successfully make the observation

    that extent of cognitive absorption determines the frequency and duration of social

    media usage. However, they add that level of cognitive absorption is turn defined by

    self-control and other personality factors. While multitasking skills do nothing to

    reduce frequency and use of social media among students, they moderate the effects

    of social media o reveals that among these students’ performance by tuning the

    cognitive absorption.

    The above literature review reveals that research on the role of social media

    and social networking sites in academic performance of students is still debatable.

    Most of the researchers have created more questions that finding answer.
    Review of Related Studies

    Social identity has traditionally been established through face-to-face

    interactions. However, in recent times, social networking sites have provided an

    additional medium through which social identities can be developed and explored.

    Social networking has become increasingly popular over the past decade, attracting

    millions of active users worldwide. These sites offer an opportunity to maintain

    friendships and even date. The following article highlights the positive and negative

    experiences of three people with learning disabilities using social networking sites.

    The negative experience reported by our service users highlighted areas of concern

    with regard to their safety. As a result, a therapeutic group was formed to address

    these online experiences and provide practical and emotional support. At the end of

    the group, service users reported that they are more confident about discussing and

    problem solving issues around online use.

    Abstract

    One of the recent popular social media platforms is the social networking site

    (SNS). Thus far, few previous studies have empirically investigated people’s

    motivations for SNS usage, especially not outside the U.S. this study combines a

    large-scale quantitative and qualitative research design, by asking 1,200 SNS users an

    open question regarding their reasons for using SNSs. An important conclusion drawn

    from a preliminary content analysis is that people often report many motivational

    reasons for using SNSs. The most important reason is to get in contact with new

    people (31%). The second most valued was to keep in touch with their friends (21%),
    whereas the third was general socializing (14%). A sub-reasons were identified; that

    all give insight into the personal incentives that drive people to use SNSs and thus

    contribute to our understanding of how to develop successful social networking

    online.
