Social networking websites like Facebook have negative effects on learners, and those who frequently use such
websites are more likely to get lower marks in school, says a new American study. Such students are also likely to have
behavioural problems and 'narcissistic tendencies' from spending too much time logged on to such sites, according to
the research by the California State University.
Psychology professor Larry Rosen said researchers watched as students spent 15 minutes studying something that
was important to them. The research team was left astonished as the students' concentration failed because of the
need to check their Facebook page. “The more media they consumed per day, the worse students they were. If they
checked Facebook just once during 15 minutes, they were worse students.”
The negative effects of over-using social media include making students unsuccessful, aggressive and anti-social.
Children under 13 who overuse social sites on a daily basis are also more likely to be prone to periods of anxiety,
depression, sleeping problems and stomach aches. They can become fat.
The study also found that social networks had some positive effects as well. They helped shy children interact more.
