REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE
 Related Literature
• Livingstone(2008) stated that for teenagers, the online
realm may be adopted enthusiastically because it
represents their space and visible to the peer group.
• According to Lee(2009), teens are consistently seeking
for identity and Social Networking Sites assisting in
teens' search for identity.
• Erickson(1959) believes that finding identity is
necessary for adolescents because if one fails in their
search for identity, teen may experience self-doubt, role
diffusion, and role confusion.
 Related Studies
• Benefits on using Social Networking Sites
Ahn (2011) states that the benefits of Social Networking Sites
for teens include having socially and communicably enhanced
learning opportunities, as well as the ability to access health
information. Social Networking Sites participation can also offer
adolescents deeper benefits that extend into their view of self,
community, and the world
• Risks on using Social Networking Sites
A Qualitative study on the impact of social media on our teens
and families stated that once “SNS depression” has set in, the
teen may become more at risk for social isolation and turn to
risky internet sites and blogs for “help” that may promote
substance abuse, unsafe sexual practices, or aggressive or self-
destructive behaviors (Clarke-Pearson, 2011).

Lee (2009) suggested that the internet and time spent on Social
Networking Sites weakens adolescents’ existing relationships with
families. This happens due to the lack of time spent with family in
the evenings and on weekends. She concludes that teens are
spending their time on Social Networking Sites instead of face-to-
face time with family.

Ahn(2011) stated that even though Social Networking Sites has

a positive effects to the behavior of teens, it also has a negative
effects

RESEARCH

 Research Design
• The researchers utilized a descriptive research
design. The researchers made student-constructed
questionnaires about the most common Social
Networking Sites that they are using. This
includes the influence of Facebook, Instagram and
Twitter specifically.
 Research Procedure
• First, the researchers choose the common
activities of teenagers that influence their
behavior. After that, the researchers choose the
respondents of their study. They end up on
choosing the G11-ICT students of Recto
Memorial National High School because the
researchers can connect ICT strand to their
topic which is all about Social Networking Sites.
 Respondents of the study
• The researchers choose the ICT strand because it is somehow
connected to their topic. The total numbers of G11-ICT of
Recto Memorial National High School are one hundred thirty-
six (136) students. The ICT strand of Recto Memorial National
High School is consists of three (3) sections. The section S.A.
which consists of forty five (45) students, the section M.J.M.
Which consists of forty six (46) students and lastly, the section
M.M. Which consists of forty five(45) students. The
researchers used the whole population as their respondents for
their research to be more valid and credible and also the

PRESENTATION,
ANALYSIS, AND
INTERPRETATION
OF DATA
Table 1. The Influence of Social Networking Sites to
the Behaviour of the students in their study habits.
 In table 1, it is very evident that Social Networking Sites have good
and bad influences to the behavior of the student’s study habits based
on the two statements above. The first statement has a good influence
on their behavior because majority of the respondents agreed that
Social Networking Sites can encourage them to study harder by
means of communicating to their classmates and teachers.
On the other hand, the second statement has a bad influence to
their behavior because the 41.58 % of the respondents agreed that
they spend more time chatting using Social Networking Sites that
doing better things like reading. And according to Bandura(1997),
reading is essential for every individuals success. So, we should
prioritize it first rather than chatting with friends using jargons and
"jeje" words.
Table 2. The Influence of Social Networking Sites to the
Behavior of the students in their lifestyle
 Social Networking Sites are very helpful in a way that many people can
interact, communicate with their friends, family, and with the other people.
And also, many people used this to be updated to different social issues. But
many teenagers really abused their power on using Social Networking Sites
without even thinking about their limitations as a user. And in statement
number 2 up to 6, it is very evident that Social Networking Sites affect their
lifestyle negatively. Some negative effects of it are the students end up
wasting their time just because of this, it turns people to be addicted and
lastly, it make teenagers lazier.
However, the statement number 1 contradicts the rest of the statements
because it shows a very positive effect that can help teenagers to cope up
with this society. And as we can see in table number 2, the equivalent scales
of the weighted means are all agree. So, despite the fact of knowing the bad
effects of Social Networking Sites, it is very clear that the students still using
this. But still, we cannot deny that it has a positive effect also.
Table 3. The Influence of Social Networking Sites to the
Behaviour of the students in their socialization.
 Socialization and communication is important in a way that it can help
teenagers became more talkative. Talkative not because they just only want
to talk but they doing this purposely (Raymund, 1998). In table number 3,
Social Networking Sites affects the behavior of the students in two different
ways also. But unlike the previous tables, majority of the respondents agreed
about the positive effects of Social Networking Site to their behavior.
And as we can see in the table, the students really agree about the
negative and positive effects of it. Some positive effects of using Social
Networking Sites to their behavior are first, they become more updated
about the social issues and happenings in our country and the other one is
that it can improve one's social skills.
Also in this table, one of the major influences of Social Networking Sites
to the behavior of the students is that it can steal the attention of them that
are supposed to interact with their families. We all know that family has a
big role on developing who and what we are.

SUMMARY,
CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATION
 Summary
• Social media further makes planning easier as the
students communicate through various platforms
provided in it. They can either post messages on each
other‘s walls in Facebook or send direct messages to
mobile phones via Facebook or Messenger. However,
the findings further showed that it made the student
lazy and most of them admitted to a waste of time that
would otherwise have gone to doing other better things

is about on their study habit behavior.
• In table 2 the study revealed that social networking sites
had various influences on the lifestyle behavior of the
respondents. The students become lazier because their
attention is always on their phone and using social

addictive such that it is very hard for students to live
without it and it urges the users to invest money for
gadgets and data or Wi-Fi connection. Despite the bad
influences in the students lifestyle there is still good
influence like Social Networking Sites can improve the
self-confidence of an individual.

Sites had various influences on the behavior of the
respondents. For instance in table 3 it is indicated that,
respondents agreed to a large extent or to a very large
extent that social networking sites has influence them in
good and bad in the way of socialization. By spending so
much time working with new technologies, students
develop more familiarity with computers and other
electronic devices, this will help students build skills that
will aid them throughout their lives but also it will yields
students in different aspects of behaviour in their study
habit, lifestyle and socialization.
