CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Social Media, by the way of being social, is composed of society or persons
interacting with each other. Social media is a social experiment of
communication, as it is described in a best way. In regular media, you only have
one-way communication in which the material only provides the information.
Example of this is television. This media could provide visual information,
however, we, as viewers and receiver of the information can’t give feedback to
the one who sent a message. The communication process contains different
elements. These elements are the message, the sender, the channel, and the
receiver. The channel used in the social media is the internet. Just like being in a
conversation, the receiver is able to give feedback to the sender. This is
advantageous because the sender will be able to know if the message was
delivered appropriately and also, the sender will also know the view of the
receiver of the idea he\she has received. [1] In the past decade, social media has
crept from our computer screens onto the screens of our handheld devices.
Human beings have fundamental needs to belong and to relate, for which
interpersonal communication is the key (Baumeister & Leary, 1995; Wang, 2013).
In recent decades, with the development of information technology, especially
with the rapid proliferation of internet-based social media (e.g., Facebook,

WeChat, or Instagram), the ways of interpersonal communication have drastically
changed (Smith & Anderson, 2018; Stone, and Wang, 2018). The ubiquitous
social media platforms and the easy access to the internet bring about the
potential for social media addiction, namely, irrational and excessive use of social
media to the extent that it interferes with other aspects of daily life (Griffiths,
2000, 2012). Social media addiction has been found to be associated with a host
of emotional, rational, health and performance problems (e.g., Echeburua & de
Corral, 2010; Kuss & Griffiths, 2011; Marino, Finos, Vieno, Lenzi, & Spada, 2017;
Marino, Gini, Vieno & Spada, 2018). Understanding the causes, consequences,
and remedies of social media addiction is thus of paramount importance. In the
current research, we examined the relations of social media addiction to college
students’ mental health and academic performance and the role of self-esteem
as a mediator for the relations (Study 1). We further tested the effectiveness of
an interventions in reducing social media addiction and its potential adverse
outcomes (Study 2).

Background of the Study
Today, most can agree that developed nations are experiencing an information –
technology – overload crisis. Smartphones, computers and laptops, tablet, and various
other information technology. Social media addiction is characterized by excessive or
poorly controlled preoccupations, urges or behaviors regarding computer use and internet
access that lead to impairment. The purpose of this study was to find out the negative and
positive effects and uses of social media to the academic performance of honorary senior
high school students in Baliuag University. The study made use of questionnaires and
interviews about the usage of social media and its effects to their academic performance.
This study recommended that senior high school students should limit the use of social
media and that they should use social media to aid them in their studies. The study is of
great benefit to senior high school students because it will show what are the effects of
social media to their academic performance and how they can utilize social media to
improve their academic performance.
Theoretical Framework
the cognitive explanation theory, social media addiction is due to faulty cognition, and
people tend to use social networks to escape from internal and external problems. In
general, the cognitive explanation theory, social networking addiction is due to faulty
cognition, and people tend to use social networks to escape from internal and external
problems. In general, addiction to social media is classified as a form of cyber-relationship
addiction.
Social media addiction refers to mental concern over the use of social media and the
allocation of time to these medias in such way that, it affects other social activities of
individuals such as occupational and professional activities, interpersonal relationships
and health leading to disruption of their life.
Social media has a negative impact on physical and psychological health and causes
behavioral disorders, depression, anxiety and mania. In this regard, results addiction to
social media is classified as a form of cyber-relationship addiction.
Social media addiction refers to mental concern over the use of social media and the
allocation of time to these networks in such way that, it affects other social activities of
individuals such as occupational and professional activities, interpersonal relationships
and health leading to disruption of their life.
Social media has a negative impact on physical and psychological health and causes
behavioral disorders, depression, anxiety and mania. In this regard, results of a study on
German students (2017) showed a positive relationship between addiction to Facebook,
with narcissism character, depression, anxiety and stress [29]. It is believed that addiction
to social media is higher in people with anxiety, stress, depression and low self-esteem.
Griffith (2005) suggests that addictive behavior is a behavior that has certain
characteristics such as salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms,
conflict, and relapse. Addictive behavior refers to repeated habits that increase the risk of
a disease or social problems in a person. Over the past decade, addictive behaviors, such
as overuse of internet or social media, have become a part of everyday life of students.
Social media addiction includes the characteristics such as ignoring the real problems of
life, neglecting oneself, mood swing, concealing addictive behaviors, and having mental
concerns.
In this regard, signs and symptoms of addiction to social media can include experiencing
disturbances in day-to-day work and activities, spending more than one hour a day on
social media, being curios to see the old friends’ profiles, ignoring work and daily activities
due to the use of social media, and feeling anxious and stressed due to the lack of access
to social media.
Evidence suggests that many factors are associated with addiction to internet and social
media. Among these factors are online shopping, dating, gaming and entertainment, using
mobile phones for access to internet, searching for pornographic images, user personality
trails, and low self-esteem.
Students are one of the most important users of the virtual world and social media. The
overuse of social media has positive and negative academic, social, and health
consequences for the students [35]. Reduced academic performance is one of the most
important consequences of social media overuse for students. The results of a study on
medical students showed that students who used social media and internet more than
average had a poor academic achievement and low level of concentration in the
classroom. The results of another study on Qatari students showed that Grade Point
Average (GPA) was lower among students who were addicted to social media compared
to other students. The results of a study in India showed that internet and social media
addiction had a negative effect on academic performance and mental health of students.
The results of a Korean study revealed a negative correlation between the use of internet
for non-academic purposes and academic performance of student. Findings of a study in
Iran (2018) also showed a significant correlation between addiction to the internet and
educational burnout.
Thus, considering the key role of students in promoting the quality of physical and mental
health of society, and also due to the lack of knowledge on the type of relationship
between social media addiction and academic performance of the students of medical
sciences in Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences (KUMS), the present study was
designed and implemented. The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent of
social media addiction among the students of medical sciences and its relationship with
academic performance of the students.
Several theories have been used to interpret the use of social media and its outcomes.
Some of these theories include the social cognitive theory of the internet which was
derived from bandura's social learning.

Conceptual Framework
It is difficult to find a commonly agreed upon definition for the concept of social
media. In fact, social media and web 2.0 are often interchangeably used. The
literature provides many complicated technical definitions as well definitions that
focus on social media’s purpose or practices. Therefore, defining social media is a
difficult endeavor. However, to define social media, we can start with defining web.
2.0 because social media were developed based on Web 2.0 technologies.
According to O’Reilly (2007), web 2.0 is a networked platform that gives the user
control in creating, designing, improving, and sharing content and services.
Collective intelligence is one of web 2.0’s fundamental features. In this context,
web 2.0 “is of the user, by the user, and, more importantly, for the user” (Chu and
Xu 2009, p. 717). Web 2.0 is individual user centered. Therefore, governments will
engage with citizens using the social media tools that citizens are already active
users instead of setting up websites and publishing content. Web 2.0 comprises
technologies such as blogs, wikis, mashup, RSS, podcast and vlog, tagging and
social bookmarking, and social networking sites. Table 1.1 presents these social
media types. For governments, these technologies reflect a loss of control,
informality of communication, customization to citizens, which implies that the
content and services will be designed differently from the way they are currently
designed (Chang and Kannan 2008).
Social media “is a group of internet-based applications that build on the ideological
and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and
exchange of user generated content” (Kaplan and Haenlein 2010, p. 61). In this
context the basic characteristics of social media are as follows (Mayfield 2007): (a)
Participation: social media encourages contributions and feedback from all
interested parties. (b) Openness: most types of social media are open to voting,
feedback, comments, and information sharing. They are rarely barriers to

accessing and using content. (c) Conversation: while social media provide a basis
for conversation and are seen as two-way communication tools, traditional media
is about broadcast, in which content is transmitted or distributed to an audience.
(d) Community: social media allow communities to quickly form and effectively
communicate about common interests such as political issues or favorite TV
shows. (e) Connectedness: Most social media thrive on their connectedness, via
links and combining different media types in one place.
Blog - A Web log (Blog) is a Web-based interactive application that allows one to
log journals entries on events, or to express opinions and make commentaries on
specific topics. It is a popular content generation tool. Blogs typically consist of
text, images, video music, and/or audios
Microblogging – The process of creating a short blog that is primarily achieved
through mobile devices to share information about current events or personal
opinions. A well-known example is Twitter
Wiki – A Web-based collaborative editing tool that allows different people to
contribute their knowledge to the content. One author’s content can be modified
and enhanced with another author’s contribution. A well-known example of
application tool is Wikipedia

Social networking – A Web-based tool or model that allows individuals to meet and
form a virtual community through socializing via different relationships, such as
friendships and professional relationships, sharing and propagating multimedia
information, exchange interests, communicating
Multimedia sharing – The rich multimedia contents such as photos, videos, and
audios are shared through multimedia sharing tools. Typical examples include
YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, Vimeo, etc.
Mashup – An application that uses contents from two or more external data
sources combines and integrates them and thus creates new value-added
information. This is a reuse and repurposing of the source data by retrieving
source contents with open APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and
integrating them according to the information needs, instead of navigating them
sequentially
RSS – A Web application that can pull the content from sources that are structured
in standard metadata format called RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds such
that it is easy to syndicate the contents from RSS formatted documents. The RSS
feeds or Web feeds can be published and updated by the authors such as that the
updates can be easily inserted and quickly updated in content aggregation sites.
The RSS feeds (also called atoms) are annotated with metadata such as the
authors and date information’s. The RSS-based content aggregators include news
headlines, weather, warnings, blogs, etc. Once the source content is updated, the
content aggregator sites will be updated thus always sharing the updated content.
Statement of the Problem
As the usage of the internet is growing rapidly each year, internet addiction has become a
problem among some users. As a known form of disorder, the common reasons and
consequences of this disease can be similar to that of alcohol addition, drug abuse,
compulsive gambling, chronic overacting behavior, sexual compulsions, and obsessive
viewing of television. Addicted persons may come for all walks of life and as a result they
are suffering in the main aspect of everyday life in situations such as school, family, work,
and relationships. There are the list four major studies documenting this growing problem:
 Greenfield estimated that six percent of the web users are addicted to the internet.
This study was patterned after theories on compulsive behavior (Greenfield 1999).
 Kraat surveyed 169 people from 73 Pitssburgh households before and after one or
two years of internet usage. He reported that teenagers who withdrew from social
contacts were using the internet as an escape from reality (Kraat 1999).
 Anderson studied the effect of internet addiction on college students. In a study of
1,200 undergraduates, he found out that one third of them had academic problems
traceable to heavy internet usage (Anderson 1997).
 Young conducted a study about usage patterns and online addiction on 496
responses from internet users. Eighty percent of the self identified addicted
persons had 38 Hours of online per week for non-office purposes (Young 1998).
The last study in particular should be of interest and concern to corporate managers.
Assuuming a normal 40 hours work week, the addict person has basically done only 2
hours of work. That computes to 95 percent of the week where the addicted person
has been stealing corporate time. If this problem is left undetected by the employer, it
can become an extremely costly expense to the company or organization.

The Hypothesis of the Study
Based on the theoretical study, three separates yet related to each other
hypotheses, are
presented. These hypotheses are later on explored and discussed in chapter 7.
The hypotheses
are also in chapter 7 either accepted or rejected. Furthermore, the hypotheses
are connected
to chapter 5.3 in which the interview questions to the respondents are presented.
The
questions were created taking in to consideration the hypotheses. The given
answers from the
respondents could later on, along with theory and the empirical study form a
basis for the
discussion.
1. If an individual becomes addicted to social media, he does not question online
privacy regulations.
As it is stated in chapter 3.5 the brains reward system is a strong one. Research
conducted on
the brains abnormalities by Fredholm (2007) and Briggs (2012) as well as Hu
(2014) clearly
shows that an individual can become addicted to the Internet and particularly to
social media.
The supposed rewards one receives visiting social media sites are similar to
those rewards an
alcohol or drug abuser receives. The reward is in this context the dopamine
extraction in the
brain. As more dopamine is released the more an individual wants to continue
that habit that
enables it to happen. In this context that is staying online on social media sites,
chatting and
writing posts about one’s personal life. Though Internet addiction has not to date
yet become
fully accepted as a condition by all scientists it has by all means caught the
attention of
scientists, psychologists and researchers. It is therefore vital to keep on looking
at the
consequences of a strong Internet abuse.

A raised question is if whether or not an individual in fact questions privacy
regulations at any
time or if the reward system is so powerful that it makes an individual to disregard
the
regulations completely, not considering the hazards.
In chapter 3.6 online privacy is questioned, in particular by Conti (2009). There is
a supposed
online privacy regulation, yet organizations have to date only guidelines to follow
when
creating online privacy regulations. An individual’s disregard of what kind of
privacy one
actually, possesses online is therefore very hazards as one can give out to much
sensitive
information thinking it is protected when it actually is not.
2. If a website offers its online services for free, we do not care to read the given
terms and conditions.
This hypothesis is also connected to chapter 3.5 and Internet addiction, as when
an individual
becomes addicted to the Internet one simply does not care to read any given
terms and
conditions though they are not of concern for the individual. All that matters is
that the
individual gets to be on the given social media site and keep receiving the
dopamine jolt that
follows by writing information about one’s day to day activities and receiving
positive feedback on those posts from one's peers. it becomes nevertheless
evident by Barcelos et al. (2014) that individuals
commonly do to appreciate the fact that they have to sign any privacy statement,
yet that they
are concerned that anyone from the “outside” would gain access to their
information. A
question that can be raised is whether or not the aspect of the online service
being free of
charge plays an important factor or not and if it is simply the matter of the
dopamine jolt that
makes people disregard the given terms and conditions or if there are other
factors.
3. The lack of regulations on Big Data, enable managers to exploit the data in a
ways that harms online privacy and security.
As expressed in chapters 3.3 and 3.4 there are many ways in which an
organization can
find and exploit information online. For example, by using webbots or by making
prediction on customers or by making profiles.
As uttered by Conti (2009) Big Data has in many ways become a question of
ethics rather
than regulation, this due to the fact that it simply is very difficult to create good
and long
lasting online regulations. If Big Data then now has become a question of ethics,
managers of large organizations are faced with a big dilemma on whether or not
to store
data for longer periods of time and what type of data is to be considered as
sensitive. Coe
(2015) states that the lack of regulations allows managers to store as much
information as
they wish on their users and that not many managers are keen on changing their
ways.
Storing information for large periods of time enable hackers to gain access to the
information at any given moment. It is to be considered what kind of change must
occur in
order for the organizations managers to change their ways and if perhaps a
change in the
common individuals Internet usage could result in a change as well. It is also
important to
try and understand just why it is difficult to create good regulations online and
what can
be done about it.
Access to information is nevertheless highly valued today as it enables
organizations at
any scale to make large profits. It is many times the customer’s themselves that
provide
organizations with a lot of information about them, while disregarding privacy
concerns.
This is nonetheless connected to the first and second hypothesis and Internet
addiction and
as these are later on explored so is this final hypothesis.

Significance of the Study
The study of social media affects human physiology and socialization;
researching Internet addiction explores how these changes affect the person and
society as a whole. Not all researchers agree that there is such a thing as
Internet addiction, and others think "addiction" is an inappropriate term to
describe the disordered behaviors associated with excessive social media use.
Frequent social media / internet use changes how humans use their brains.
Studying Internet addiction helps researchers look into what parts of the brain
are changed and how that affects daily life. For instance, checking social media
sites, such as Twitter or Facebook, triggers oxytocin release in the brain. While
oxytocin is primarily associated with childbirth, it is also released during orgasm
or while bonding emotionally with another person.
Checking and scrolling through social media has become an increasingly popular
activity over the last decade. Although the majority of peoples’ use of social
media is non-problematic, there is a small percentage of users that become
addicted to social networking sites and engage in excessive or compulsive use.
In fact, psychologists estimate that as many as 5 to 10% of Americans meet the
criteria for social media addiction today. Social media addiction is a behavioral
addiction that is characterized as being overly concerned about social media,
driven by an uncontrollable urge to log on to or use social media, and devoting
so much time and effort to social media that it impairs other important life areas.
Scope and Delimitations
Scope and Delimitations are two elements of a research paper or thesis. The scope
of a study explains the extent to which the research area will be explored in the
work and specifies the parameters within which will be operating. For example, let’s
say a researcher wants to study the impact of mobile phones in behavior patterns of
elementary school children. However, it is not possible for the researcher to cover
every aspect of the topic.
So, the scope will have to be narrowed down to a certain section of the target
population. In this case, the scope might be narrowed down to a group of 50
children in grades 3-5 of one specific school. Their behavior patterns in school may
have been observed for a duration of a 6 months. These would form the
delimitations of a study.
Thus, the delimitations are the characteristics that limit the scope and describe the
boundaries of a study, such as the sample size, geographical location or setting in
which the study, takes place, population traits, etc. Additionally, the researcher tools
and methodologies to collect data but not others.
These delimitations might be imposed for practical reasons, such as lack of time or
financial resources to carry out a more through investigations. The delimitation
section of a study should explain why specific choices were made while others were
excluded and how this might affect the outcome of the research.
In the example mentioned above, the researcher might state why he/she chose to
study a sample population of 50 students, why he/she selected students from
grades 3-5 and not grades 1-2, and why he/she chose students of kalikasan
Elementary public school over other school.

Definition of Terms
Social media addiction is defined as compulsive and excessive use of social (Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat), even when use of these platforms in taking over your life and
having a negative effect on your ‘Real Life’ and relationships.
What is the evidence that it exists?
Cornell Information science have undertaken research that looked at the difficulty people
have in quitting Facebook and other social networks even when they clearly intend to. They
even have label for the failure to quit: : “Social Media Reversion”.
61% of facebook users feel they have to check their facebook feed at least once a day
minimum which is a clear sign of a compulsion.
What are the symptoms?
Checking your phone constantly for Facebook or Twitter notifications is a sure sign that you
may be suffering from social media addiction. Feeling in a low mood when you do not have
access to social media and spending more time broadcasting your activities on social
media that actually spending time carrying out those activities, are also danger signs.
What can you do?

Set bounderies arround the time when you access your social media accounts. Turn off
“Push” notification, so your social media use does’nt impact on your day-to-day life. Go for
a walk, keep laptops, tablets, and all social media-enabled devices out of your bedroom to
avoid the temptations to check social media last thing at night and first thing in the morning.
Using social media mindlessly is feeding your addiction so invest sometime in walking
outside, exercising, reading a book or news paper, or spending time with your friends.
A regular complete digital detox will also ensure you completely disconnect from the
internet and social media.
