REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

INTRODUCTION

The previous chapter deals with a brief introduction. A different descriptions and variables

namely about the effects of social media towards the behavior of junior and senior high school students of

different schools, background of the study, theoretical and conceptual framework, statement of the study,

hypothesis, and scope and delimitation of the study.

In this chapter a brief review of related literature was describe related to the variables like social

media, behavior, and junior and senior high students.

A review of related literature is an essential aspect of investigation in this study. The word

"review" means "to look over" or "to refer back on." It suggests finding.

Examining and analyzing pertinent research reports, as well as published papers, research

abstracts, and reports of haphazard observations and opinions about an individual's planned research

project (Agrawal 1998). Moul claims that

"The review of related literature offers a broader understanding," says y.

Understanding the problem and its critical parts guarantees that no superfluous steps are taken.

duplication.” A review of related literature is helpful in understanding the problem holistically and the

level of progress in the study field on the subject. A review in related literature or as known as the

RRL a comprehensive examination of current literature on a thesis or dissertation's topic. This is

where you talk about the knowledge and finding from the existing literature that is relevant to

your topic.
 It considers and investigates novel ideas for acceptable technique and research design. The

following functions and purpose are frequently included in a review of related literature is to:

 Establish a foundation of knowledge about the subject.

 Identify inconsistencies, such as research gaps, disputes from earlier studies, and

unanswered questions.

 Determine the relationship between works and their contributions to the topic and other

works.

 provide important insight into the phenomenon being researched.

 Resolve apparent contradictions between earlier studies.

A successful research project will build on and utilize prior knowledge. After determining

and considering a research topic, the researcher must seek for academic and research journals,

books, and other similar documents that contain reports of prior research studies on a topic

connected to the current study. This is referred to as a literature review or a literature review of

relevant literature. It entails locating, arranging, and analyzing material about a study topic.

Conducting a literature review is crucial because it avoids studies from being duplicated and

helps you avoid pitfalls that others have encountered. A literature study can also reveal how to

quantify the research variables in question and which research strategies will be most effective.

The complexity of discussion, analysis, and interpretation of findings is reflected in a thorough

literature research conducted prior to the study's implementation.

FOREIGN LITERATURE
In Syria and Iraq, jihadist militants use a variety of social media apps and file-sharing sites,

including Ask.fm, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Pal Talk, viper, JustPaste.it, and Tumblr. In

conversations with journalists, encryption software such as TOR is utilized to disguise locational

information. However, events conspire to make Twitter the most popular app. It is designed

specifically for cellphones and is simple and inexpensive to use. Images and text can be used in

posts (tweets), and connections to other platforms can be included. An incoming tweet can also

be forwarded to everyone in an address list with ease. Some types of social media require 3G or

Wi-Fi connectivity, however Twitter may be utilized without either. Individuals are using more

online social networking (OSN) sites as a result of the rapid development of Web 2.0

technologies. Millions of people use social media sites like Facebook practically every day

(Brailovskaia et al. 2020). Social media has been a risk and beneficial at the same time. Social

media presents many benefits this pandemic in the fact that it made for the students and teachers

to easily communicate with each other among the other things: online modular, LMS, school

purposes, find and interact with people, stay in touch with friends and family, and to engage in

self-expression. However, social media can also expose students to new risk from: appropriate

images, pornography, cyber bullying, unrealistic expectation, fear of missing out, and unhealthy

sleep patterns. High school students use various social media application to extent that is now an

indispensable part of their everyday life for personal and school purposes ( Cao and hong 2011;

Dahlstrom, 2012).

LOCAL LITERATURE

Social media has a significant impact on individuals not only in the Philippines but around the

world, particularly young adults. When it comes to sexualized text conversation, exposure to

pornography, online dating, and the possibility of bad behavior, it can be hazardous to a young
adult. Studies employing cellphones on students to explore the link between addictedness and

usage frequently divide them into two groups, according to the Smartphone Addiction Scale

(Kwon et al., 2013). (potential addicts and non-addicts). There are over 24 million internet users

in the Philippines. 51% in which who use social media sites. Social media is an effective

platform for information dissemination and engagement with one another. In the Philippines, the

government has seen that many people have been victims of cyberbullying, and that many young

people are engaged in sex messaging, which can lead to sexually transmitted infections and early

pregnancy. A health problem is one of the effects of social media on people. Many Filipinos use

social media in a variety of ways, and some of them forget to sleep or eat because they are so

focused on what they are doing on their computers. The government, particularly the authority,

has grown aware that many Filipinos have utilized social media for malicious purposes. The

internet is knowledge and convenience, therefore embrace it and don't make it an inconvenience

for yourself.

FOREIGN STUDIES

Individuals are using more online (OSN) sites as a result of the rapid development of Web 2.0

technologies. Millions of people use social media sites like Facebook practically every day

(Brailovskaia et al. 2020). Individuals can use OSNs to showcase themselves in virtual

communities, communicate with their social networks, and keep in touch with others

(Brailovskaia et al. 2020). As a result, the use of OSNs has remained popular among young

adults, particularly students (Kokkinos and Saripanidis 2017; Paul et al. 2012). Many educational

institutions (e.g., universities) have used OSNs to sell their educational programs and engage

with students because to their popularity and the rising number of students of various ages (Paul

et al. 2012). 67 percent of Americans agree. Internet users said social media helped them deepen
their bonds with their family and friends (Fox and Rainie, 2014). Furthermore, social media-

facilitated interactions can assist people in adjusting to new surroundings and coping with

difficult issues, particularly when they enter a new location, culture, or nation (Lin, et al., 2012).

This is especially true for new college students who are experiencing significant changes in their

academic and living settings (Feldt, et al., 2011; Ponzetti, 1990; Ross, et al., 1999; Tinto, 1993).

Furthermore, due to their high levels of social media use on a regular basis, college students are

more likely to use social media sites for appropriate social support or adjustment. As of 2008, 85

percent of college students in the United States had a profile on an online social networking site

such as Facebook, according to a nationwide survey (Jensen and Peace, 2008). According to a

2014 study, 89 percent of people in the United States aged 18 to 29 use Facebook (Duggan, et

al., 2015). An research will aid scholars in better understanding how existing theoretical

perspectives and empirical findings in the areas of social media, social support, and social

adjustment apply to this understudied demographic. The study's findings will also aid higher

education administrators and policymakers in better understanding the effects of social media use

on international students' social support and adjustment in the United States.

LOCAL STUDIES

The widespread usage of social media in the Philippines has had a significant impact on how

Filipinos connect and communicate. Many people operate in "always on" mode. The Philippines

is a heavily networked culture, despite not being an information society. Social media use is

currently one of the most common pastimes among children and teenagers. Social media

includes well-known social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, as well as

well-known video sites like YouTube and blogging sites. These social media sites are a form of

social contact, communication, and enjoyment for young people that has been rapidly developing
due to the high demand for smartphones, computers, and other electronic devices. According to a

2010 Universal McCann global study titled "Power to the People- Wave 3," the Philippines

ranked first among other countries with 83.1 percent of Filipinos using social networking sites,

and Filipinos also became the top users who frequently shared photos and videos on their social

media sites. Students or Filipinos aged 15 to 24 appear to be the fastest rising demographic of

social media users.
