CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the problem and clarify the

importance of variables, its limitations and significance to the field of study.

The essential elements of this are introduction, statement of the problem,

theoretical framework, scope and delimitation, significance of the study and

definition of terms. All of the elements aim to discuss the passage of the

coverage of this chapter.

Introduction
Social media generally refers to modern communication means such

as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Tiktok, Google+, etc.

Social media websites and applications allow us to build networking and

exchange useful information with other people. Most of us know very well how

social media engagement and connect people all around the globe. Social

media can affect teenagers in both positive and negative ways. Research has

found that social media use can affect self-esteem, and make typical teenage

pressure and bullying worse, but it can also connect isolated teens and help

them find supportive networks. One of the biggest negatives that has been

found with the rise of these social platforms is the correlation between social

media and depression. A new study published in the “Journal of Depression

and Anxiety” found a link between high usage of social media sites and

increased depression.

Background of the Study

Based on the findings of Mayo Clinic Staff (2019) showed that last

2019 study of more than 6,500 12- to 15-year-olds found that those who spent
more than three hours a day using social media might be at heightened risk

for mental health problems. Another 2019 study of more than 12,000 13- to

16-year-olds found that using social media more than three times a day

predicted poor mental health and well-being in teens. Other studies also have

observed links between high levels of social media use and depression or

anxiety symptoms.

According to Robinson and Smith (2020), in this study entitled "Social

Media and Mental Health" human beings are social creatures. We need the

companionship of others to thrive in life, and the strength of our connections

has a huge impact on our mental health and happiness. Being socially

connected to others can ease stress, anxiety, and depression, boost self-

worth, provide comfort and joy, prevent loneliness, and even add years to

your life. On the flip side, lacking strong social connections can pose a serious

risk to your mental and emotional health. In today’s world, many of us rely on

social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube, and

Instagram to find and connect with each other. While each has its benefits, it’s

important to remember that social media can never be a replacement for real-

world human connection. It requires in-person contact with others to trigger

the hormones that alleviate stress and make you feel happier, healthier, and

more positive. Ironically for a technology that’s designed to bring people

closer together, spending too much time engaging with social media can

actually make you feel lonelier and more isolated—and exacerbate mental

health problems such as anxiety and depression.

The study contributes to human beings need face-to-face contact to be

mentally healthy. Nothing reduces stress and boosts your mood faster or
more effectively than eye-to-eye contact with someone who cares about you.

The more you prioritize social media interaction over in-person relationships,

the more you’re at risk for developing or exacerbating mood disorders such as

anxiety and depression. Social media platforms are designed to snare your

attention, keep you online, and have you repeatedly checking your screen for

updates. It’s how the companies make money. But, much like a gambling

compulsion or an addiction to nicotine, alcohol, or drugs, social media use can

create psychological cravings. When you receive a like, a share, or a

favorable reaction to a post, it can trigger the release of dopamine in the

brain, the same “reward” chemical that follows winning on a slot machine,

taking a bite of chocolate, or lighting up a cigarette, for example. The more

you’re rewarded, the more time you want to spend on social media, even if it

becomes detrimental to other aspects of your life. This study aimed to

discover (with care) sources of valuable information and learning that can help

to the youth by getting it in social media platform.

The main objective of this study, according to the theory, people who

spend more time in sedentary behaviors such as social media use have less

time for face-to-face social interaction, both of which have been proven to be

protective against mental disorders.

The purpose of this study needs to companionship of others to thrive in

life, and the strength of our connections has a huge impact on our mental

health and happiness.

Being socially connected to others can ease stress, anxiety, and

depression, boost self-worth, provide comfort and joy, prevent loneliness, and

even add years to your life.

Theoretical Framework

This study is anchored at the principle of Horst's idea of social media is

taking part in different types of online networking; it is a routine movement that

inquiries about the children and teenagers by upgrading communication,

social association, and even specialized skills (Horst H, 2010). Social

networking sites offer different day by day openings for interfacing with

companions, schoolmates, and individuals with common interests.

Pantic said social networking sites with a few mental disorders which

include depression and anxiety. Since social networking sites are a

moderately new wonder, numerous inquiries concerning the potential effect

on mental health remain unanswered. (Igor Pantic, 2014). Therefore, this

research undergoes the impact of social media on mental health issues of the

student. The objective of the study is to determine the impact of social media

on mental health issues such as depression and anxiety of students.

Based on the theory of Dr. Siegal, a professor who specializes in

psychiatry, revealed that social media physiologically rewires the human

brain. He believed that social media is replacing the time for face-to-face

interactions and communication (Gmose, 2014).

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the related literature and related studies. A

related literature is the process of collecting, selecting, and reading books,

journals, reports, abstracts, and other reference materials. A review of studies

is a review of as many research studies as possible around a particular

research problem. Over all, this chapter supports the whole thesis.

Related Literature

According to Choudhury (2013) mental infection is a severe and good-

sized fitness project in our society today. Tens of millions of people every year

suffer from depression and only a fraction gets adequate treatment. This

position paper highlights some latest tries inspecting the ability for leveraging

social media postings as a brand-new kind of lens in knowledge intellectual

infection in individuals and populations. Records gleaned from social media

bears capability to supplement traditional survey strategies in its capacity to

provide finer grained measurements of conduct through the years whilst

appreciably expanding population pattern sizes. We finish highlighting how

this research route can be beneficial in growing tools for figuring out the onset

of depressive disorders in individuals, to be used via healthcare corporations;

or on behalf of people, allowing the ones laid low with intellectual infection to

be extra proactive approximately their mental fitness.

According to Betul Keles (2019) at same time as becoming inextricable

to our day by day lives, on-line social media are blamed for growing mental

health problems in younger humans. This systematic assessment synthesized

evidence on the influence of social media use on despair, anxiety and

psychological distress in teenagers. A seek of PsycINFO, Medline, Embase,

CINAHL and SSCI databases reaped thirteen eligible research, of which 12

have been go-sectional. Findings have been categorized into four domains of

social media: time spent, hobby, investment and dependency. Depression,

anxiety and psychological distress were associated in all domains. However,

due to the methodological limitations of cross-sectional design, sampling and

calculation, substantial caveats remain.

According to Faye Mishna's Social Media, Cyber-aggression and

Student Mental Health on a University Campus (2018), it is stated that

Information and Communication technologies (ICT) mostly provide vast

benefits for the students in a university including supplementing engagement

and interactions with others and enhancing self-centered convertible learning.

Being anonymous and the lack of social cues may risk to interpersonal

hostility. As long as a substantial research observes bullying and adolescent

educational setting, this study addresses a breach regarding post-secondary

conditions. A large number of university students encounter cyber-aggression,

affecting their sense of security and mental health.

Related Studies
 According to Fazida Karim (2020) “Social Media Use and Its

Connection to Mental Health: A Systematic Review” this study aims to social

media are responsible for aggravating mental health problems. Summarizes

the effects of social network usage on mental health. Worldwide, research

have been carried out related to mental health research. However, only a

small number of studies are incorporated into social media and carried out in

the sense of social science, considering that the literature available focuses

heavily on medical science. The possible associations between their use and

mental health have not been widely explored because social media is a

relatively recent phenomenon. This study is important because it offers

knowledge on the scope of the emphasis of peer review literature, which can

allow scholars to provide a viewpoint in order to understand the potential

attention that requires scholarly attention relevant to climate change

strategies. The research was conducted to identify studies analyzing the role

of social media on mental health.

Moreover, “Effects of Social Media on Mental Health: A Review” stated

by Bhat, Shabir that this study is a day that is readily accessible via

technological development, Opening a forum for debate between social media

and current mental health the generation. From the dawn of contemporary

human resources on the internet and social networking sites the world has

virtually become more social, but less realistic. It is this virtual life that isolates

This man from other fellow beings affects his health (mental & physical) and

thus the overall balance. The aim of present research is to explore the effect

of social media on mental health. The younger generation of the current age

serves as involved social media users with an affinity for mental health issues.
The current dangerous scenario needs more knowledge. Knowing the

connection between social media and mental health issues is only a starting

point. The discovery and comprehension of the means by which social media

impacts the mental health of the current younger generation is a promising

move that can highlight the relations between these younger generation

variables at play.

Furthermore, “Social Interactive Behavioral Problems of Social Studies

Students of Cabiao National High School” by Zabala Asperin, Bernardo Jr

stated that this study is an issue impacting schools around the nation and

around the world is student bullying. The research centered on the

misconduct of students in the sense of personal, mental, social, spiritual,

economic and psychological factors and the degree of severity of violent,

delinquent, withdrawal and non-compliant actions. The learners exhibit

aggressive, delinquent, withdrawing and non-compliant behaviors that are

extreme or intense. There is no substantial difference in personal, mental,

social, moral, economic and psychological variables between variables that

lead to the behavioral problems of social studies students.

Synthesis

The study is to observed senior high school students of Quezon

National High School to the role of social media on the mental health of the

stdents. The study aimed to analyze by describing and enumerating the role

of social media on the mental health aspect gathered data from the students.

By summarizing all the mentioned of the role of the social media on the

mental health by the respondents, the researcher therefore might come up to

the best possible solution about the study. Indeed, the related literature and
studies provide the researcher a deeper understanding towards the role of

social media on the mental health of the students. The role of social media on

the mental health is the main topic is an essential thing that has a legitimate

cause, Mental infection in our society today is a serious and good-size fitness

project. According to Choudhury (2013). Every year, tens of millions of people

suffer from depression and only a fraction get proper care. This position paper

highlights some recent attempts to inspect the capacity of individuals and

communities to exploit social media posts as a brand-new form of lens in

information intellectual infection. According to the study of Betul Keles (2019),

online social media was blamed for the mental health issues in younger

people at the same time as being inextricable to our everyday lives. This

comprehensive evaluation synthesized evidence of the effect of the use of

social media on adolescent despair, anxiety, and psychological distress.

According to the study of Faye Mishna on a University Campus (2018),

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are recorded to provide

university students with tremendous benefits, including additional engagement

and connections with others and the development of self-centered convertible

learning. According to Fazida Karim (2020) The goal of this research is to

make social media accountable for aggravating mental health issues.

Summarizes the mental health ramifications of the use of social networks.

Research related to studies on mental wellbeing has been carried out

worldwide. Only a limited number of studies, however, are integrated into

social media and carried out in the context of social science, given that

medical science is a major subject of the literature available. Moreover,

“Effects of Social Media on Mental Health: A Review” stated by Bhat, Shabir

Opening a platform for discussion between social media and the new

generation in mental wellbeing is a day that is readily available through

technological advancement. The world has virtually become more interactive,

but less practical, since the dawn of contemporary human capital on the

Internet and social networking sites. It is this virtual existence that isolates this

man from his wellbeing (mental & physical) and hence the overall balance

from other fellow beings. Furthermore, “Social Interactive Behavioral

Problems of Social Studies Students of Cabiao National High School” by

Zabala Asperin, Bernardo Jr stated that this study student bullying is an

epidemic that affects schools around the country and around the globe. The

study focused on student misconduct in the context of personal, emotional,

social, moral, economic and psychological variables and the degree of

seriousness of aggressive, delinquent, withdrawal and non-compliant

behavior.
