CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Social media is a computer base technology that facilitates the sharing of ideas, thoughts, and
information, through the building of virtual networks. However, due to the pandemic, social
media usage by students is so rampant recently because of easy access to devices such as smart
phones and laptops which are connected easily to the internet, the usage of social media has
extremely increased to at least 3.5 billion online worldwide. The effects on its academic
performance of the students are disturbing. Students spend excessive time on social networks
resulting in loneliness, staying up late, tiredness, lack of family bonding and missing class were
also intercorrelated with self-reports of Internet-caused impairment. (Kubey’, Lavin et.al 2001).
school grades will suffer because of spending too much time on social as valuable study time is
lost social media has made a person rely on it for their happiness, satisfactions, resulting in a lack
of socialization with others. We use chat and video calls with our friends instead of talking
directly,
Even if it is close. It also taught individuals to be judgmental, blind to the truth or deaf to what
needs to be heard.
Along with the benefits of social media, there are also some drawbacks. For certain students,
social media can be a diversion. Students may be distracted from their schoolwork and there is
no way for teachers to know which student is paying attention, especially now we are using

Because of social media, most people, especially at their young age are posting unsuitable
content on social media. Thus, many of them engage in sexual activities or behavior, applying
what they
see on the social Medias, internet website resulting in teenage pregnancy, violence, and many
more.
The reason why we researchers choose this type of subject is because each person must be
aware of those individuals who influenced the drawbacks of social media. For over the past few
days, many people have been in a lot of negative emotion, and we should know how to treat it
with care.

CHAPTER II
This chapter deals with the different literature and studies related to the present study. This
principally includes both foreign and local literature as well as local and foreign.
1.1 Fear of Missing Out and its Link with social media and Problematic Internet Use
Among Filipinos.
According to (Marc Eric S. Reyes, Jacquelyn P. Marasigan, et.al 2018) an anxious feeling among
users known as Fear of Missing Out, a form of social anxiety caused by the concern of not being
in touch with the events in the cyber world. According to Ryan and Deci’s Self-determination
Theory (SDT), people have increased their social media and Internet use in order to satisfy basic
psychological needs. Hence, FoMO may be involved in the relationship between social
media/Internet use and the satisfaction of certain psychological needs wherein one is anxious of
being left out. Given the considerable extent to which Filipinos use the social media and Internet,
a gap exists regarding the role that FoMO might play in social media use (SMU) and problematic
Internet use (PIU) among Filipinos. Thus, the present study explored the relationship among
FoMO, SMU, and PIU among Filipinos. A total of 1,060 Filipinos completed a test battery
comprising of three scales to measure the said variables: Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) scale,
Social Networking Time Use Scale (SONTUS), and Internet Addiction Test (IAT). Statistical
analyses showed that FoMO is significantly related with both SMU and PIU and that fear of
missing out can predict both social media use and problematic Internet use. Limitations and
According to (Almina P. Ramos, Claudette A. Agnes,) The excessive use of Internet in online
gaming afflicted several adolescent students in such a way that they found it hard to control their

gaming behavior anymore. There were a lot of studies done as to the causes of this modern-day
addiction but there was scarcity of the therapy program that will address the problematic
thoughts
and feelings associated with this behavior. This study aimed to devise a Behavior Modification
Therapy (BMT) program that will reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of their online
gaming. In developing the therapy, a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative research using
sequential explanatory design was utilized. This was composed of collection and analysis of
quantitative data through pre-test on Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) 20-Test; compilation of
qualitative data through related literatures and studies, Focused Group Discussions (FGD) and
Training Needs Analysis (TNA). The data were used as bases in designing the eight (8) sessions
of BMT. The respondents included in this research were the 11-19 years old public high school
students who experienced excessive internet gaming. After the therapy sessions the post test on
the (IGD) 20-Test was administered and the t-Test was used to find the difference. The Behavior
Modification Therapy was helpful and efficacious in reducing the IGD symptoms of the

Internet usage crosses both national and cultural boundaries. However, the extent to which
Internet usage patterns have been noted such as the internet being used more for content-oriented
material in Japan (I.e., information and entertainment) versus more communicative functions in
Korea (Bae Young, 2004). Wang (2001) highlights the importance of considering socio-cultural
explanations in relation to Internet addiction and contends that these problematic behaviors are
influenced by family, culture, and society. Choi and Ross (2006) suggest that young people who
have been raised in collectivist, hierarchical, family-focused societies are able to act and
socialized independently for the first time through the internet. They contend that it is possible
that the opening u of this “new world” may put youth living in collectivist societies at higher risk
for the development of internet addiction. This study applies the uses and gratification (U&G)

Theory (Palmgreen et al., 1985) as a frame in developing a taxonomy of internet use as well as
outcomes of internet use in a collectivist and developing society such as the Philippines. Further,
it seeks to contribute to theory by extending the U&G theory by examining the role of regulation
1.4 According to (Ma. Regina Hechanova, Renee Ortega-Go 2014) Internet usage crosses both
national and cultural boundaries. However, the extent to which Internet usage varies between
cultures remains unclear. Differences in Internet usage patterns have been noted such as the
Internet being used more for content-oriented material in Japan (i.e., information and
entertainment) versus more communicative functions in Korea (Bae Young, 2004). Wang (2001)

society. Choi and Ross (2006) suggest that young people who have been raised in collectivist,
hierarchical, family-focused societies are able to act and socialize independently for the first time
through the Internet. They contend that it is possible that the opening of this “new world” may
put youth living in collectivist societies at higher risk for the development of Internet addiction.
This study applies the Uses and Gratification (U&G) Theory (Palmgreen et al., 1985) as a frame
in developing a taxonomy of Internet use as well as outcomes of Internet use in a collectivist and
developing society such as the Philippines. Further, it seeks to contribute to theory by extending
the U&G theory by examining the role of regulation in predicting outcomes of Internet use.
1.4 According to (Alicia and Valenzuela et.al., 2019) Stated that Studies show that university
students are big fans of FB, but to date, no local study documenting the association between FB
use and academic performance among Filipino College students has yet been published. Thus,
this research investigated the extent of FB use among students in a private university in the
Philippines and correlated it to their General Weighted Average (GWA). A total of six hundred
eighty-six (686) freshmen and sophomores participated in the survey. Results showed a weak but
17
LORDS GRACE INTEGRATED
SCHOOL
Graceville 1 Muzon, city of San Jose Del Monte City, Bulacan
positive correlation between FB use and GWA, implying that more time spent on FB is
associated with better academic performance. This may be attributed to the finding that most of
the students use Facebook to update themselves on school activities and work with other students
in completing course and school requirements. The students spend an average of 2 hours every
week using Facebook, peaking during the weekends. This study provides evidence that FB offers
students as
well as teachers may be subjects for future studies. The level of Facebook usage by students at a
private university in the Philippines was examined in this study. Compared it to their General
Weighted Average (GWA) the results revealed a slight but optimistic connection between
Facebook use and GWA. More time spent on Facebook is linked to improved academic results.
1.5 According to (Ambreo and Thompson et.al. 2019) Stated that Marine litter is a global threat
to marine biodiversity. However, there is a key knowledge gap on the impacts of marine litter in
the Philippines – a country of high marine biodiversity and large exclusive economic zone. This
gap is addressed here by using information shared on the internet by citizen scientists and
conservation groups to assess the impacts of marine litter on megafauna. Facebook, presently the
largest social media platform, was scanned for posts concerning the interaction between litter and
marine species in the Philippines. Results showed thirty-two individuals from 17 species were
affected by marine litter in the country. Furthermore, ingestion (61%) was the most frequent
interaction reported. Mindanao was also identified as a hotspot for marine litter interactions. The
study highlights the utility of social media in providing data to create an inventory of marine
species adversely affected by litter and the spatial distribution of these interactions
Sea litter is a significant threat to marine habitats around the world. There is a major awareness
deficit in the Philippines about the effects of aquatic litter. This void is filled by social journalists

2.2 Foreign Literature
According to (Yubo Hou, Dan Xiong, et al.019), media addiction significantly impacts student
academic performance. As they surveyed college students, they found out intervention or getting
seek professional help is one solution to reduce mental and social media addiction. Intervention
is like counseling or consultation may improve student's resiliency and understanding about
having limits on many things. It also helps students to have academic efficiency and just enough
social interactivity.
"This research examined the relations of social media addiction to college student's mental
health and academic performance, investigated the role of self-esteem as a mediator for the
relations, and further tested the effectiveness of an intervention in reducing social media
addiction and its potential adverse outcomes. In the study, we used a survey method with a
sample of college students. We found that social media addiction was negatively associated with
the student's mental health and academic performance. The relation between social media
addiction and mental health were mediated by self-esteem. In the study, we developed and tested
a two-stage self-help intervention program. We recruited a sample of college students who met
Social media addiction criteria for the intervention. Results showed that the intervention was
effective in reducing the students’ social media addiction and improving their mental health and
academic efficiency. The current studies yielded original findings that contribute to the empirical
database on social media addiction and that have important theoretical and practical
implications."
Based on this study, according to (Marilyn Price-Mitchell, 2019) there are a lot of disadvantages
of social media. For example, lacks emotional connection, decreases face-to-face communication
skills, conveys an inauthentic expression of feelings, and facilitates laziness. Based on this study,
social media became the platform where everyone can express their own feelings and opinion

about each other through the help of the internet only because it makes our life more convenient
and easier. As many of us depend on using social media it became a part of how we
communicate until we did not realize it affects how we communicate with each other and also

To Tarawneh (2014), networks like Facebook impact include addiction and time-wasting, which
make students perform poorly academically because they spend most of their time on social
media instead of concentrating on their learning, while Flad (2010) notes that social media
distracts students while in school research indicates that many students log on daily to social
media sites especially Facebook. Social media's adverse effects on students include attention-
Centre the research found out that 90 percent of people active on social media are aged between
12 and 20 years (Lenhart et al., 2007), lily students. This study gathered that spending about
three-quarters of their out-of-school time on social media platforms takes students from almost
all family, social, and other activities. This habit also takes students away from having physical
contact with most people in their households. At the same time, cut off physical connections with
their friends living in the same community and exclude them from many communal activities,
which invariably shape people’s moral, civic, and social standing and which could prepare them
to become influential community leaders when they grow up. This supports the position of
(Tariq et al., 2012) that social media consumes much of students’ time thereby negatively

Social media is a platform that we use every day and spend much time on them. Therefore, it is
necessary to know the basic information about the advantages and disadvantages of using social
media. Our research deals with social media and their perception of the general public. We
examined by the survey which social media people use, for what purpose they are used and how
they perceive the positive and negative aspects of using social media. After analyzing the survey
results, we have identified the three most used social media in the European Union and the
opinion of social media users on the advantages and disadvantages associated with their use.
1.5 According to Pasek (2009) it shows, users were no more or less likely to get good grades
than non-users and in fact, they found evidence that Facebook use was slightly more common
among
individuals with higher grades. In order to achieve a specific objective of the study, the students
were directly inquired about whether SNS can improve academic performance. The result shows
that most student respondents are keen towards their learning progress. Table 5 shows that 70.10
percent of the student responded that SNS helps improve student academic performance, and
29.90 percent responded that it does not contribute to improve the student grades. The primary
reason of the respondents why SNS improve academic performance is that SNS can help them
communicate and discuss with their classmates and instructors about schoolwork and
assignments. Students can even upload and download lectures and be updated about information
Negatively perceiving that SNS do not help improve academic performance shows that it can
only take some of students’ time to study and thus not much of distraction.

1.1 According to (Jian Mou and Christopher et.al., 2019) Studied that Micro lending has grown
rapidly and now benefits around 250 million people globally, half who would otherwise not have
access to credit. Use of social credit systems for micro lending risk assessment is most
pronounced in Asia, as most Western countries tightly regulate personal information available to
lenders. In most of the developing world, geography, social structure, disease, climate and
culture have a much stronger influence on credit risk and borrowing than do governmental and
corporate systems. In this study, we obtained 784 loan contracts with 3577,912 personal
communications and locations. Exploratory analysis found loan default depends on social
network structure; graph analysis indicated that those who were likely to default tended to
communicate with other likely defaulters. Detailed tests were equivocal, suggesting that social
network communication structure provided little additional information to predict default, and
may even add noise to the data. Our tests strongly supported the importance of location and
proximity to sorts of landmarks on the potential for default. Proximity to some landmarks, e.g.
city hall, moving companies and train stations, were associated with lower loan default. Others,
such as parks, stadiums, and bus stations, were correlated with a higher loan default. We
restructured our tests based on risk-return versus loan default effect with little change in results.
benefiting about 250 million individuals globally, half of whom would otherwise be unable to
obtain credit. In Asia, the use of social credit networks for micro lending risk management is the
location, social system, illness, environment, and culture all have a significant impact on credit
risk.
1.2 According to ( Clarissa David and Tandoc et.al., 2019) Studied that Through interviews with
journalists from four top online newsrooms in the Philippines, this study examined the
organizational arrangements surrounding social media teams and how these influence social

preferences in their editorial decisions, but they depended on arrangements surrounding social
media teams. Some organizational arrangements included inclusion of social media editors in
story conferences and meetings, collaboration between reporters and social media teams, and
incorporating social media into news making processes include mass-market orientation,
primacy of digital over print/television news formats, and history of a legacy brand.
That authors aimed at the organizational structures affecting social media departments in four of
the Philippines' largest online newsrooms. The mass-market orientation of news organizations, as
well as the primacy of multimedia over paper, are driving factors behind the integration of social
1.3 According to (CG Redderick and OT Chatfield et.al., 2017) Studied that This paper develops
a framework for facilitating organizational learning through social media text analytics to
enhance citizen-centric public service quality. Theoretically, the framework integrates double-
interactions on a local government’s department Facebook page. Our findings indicate that the
missed double-loop learning opportunity resulted from two factors. First, Facebook government-
posts were primarily used to advocate the government agenda by educating citizens to change
their rrecycling
behaviors without efforts to learn citizens' needs/questions. Second, this single-loop learning
orientation sustained the single-loop learning nature of Facebook citizens' posts, precluding their
direct and meaningful participation in the city's recycling governance. New insights generated
from the case study suggest the framework's usefulness in showing more promising directions
for government's double loop learning through social media platforms to enhance public service
quality. It proposed a method for improving consumer civil service efficiency by enhancing
organizational training via social networking text data. The paradigm logically blends triple

1.4 on Dec 11, 2020, Martha Jean Sanchez studied that The Philippines is one of the highest
social network users in Southeast Asia, with a social media penetration rate of approximately 67
percent as of January 2020. On Average, Filipinos spent 4 Hours using social media. It has
created a way to connect and bridge distances between family and friends, enabled content
creators to share information through digital media and allowed a broader reach of promotional
marketing through online ads. Its’ functionality was one of the factors that led to increasing
social network users. Among social media users in the Philippines, Facebook was the most used
platform. It accounted for almost the entire social media market as of June 2020, with the
entire internet user population. For many Filipinos, the popular platform was not only used for
social networking but also as a daily source of news, beating newspapers and radio. Despite
Facebook’s popularity in the Philippines, other social platforms such as YouTube are gaining
space in the market, particularly among content creators. As of June 2020, Raffy Tulfo in Action
was the most popular YouTube channel in the country, with subscribers nearing 13 million
One leading concern for social media users is data breach. Social networking sites collect
millions of data points from users, enabling access to hackers of all kinds, and resulting in cyber-
crime. In region 4-A of the Philippines, over 460 thousand hacking incidents were reported as of
2019.
Despite this, the popularity of social networking sites shows no sign of slowing down, as most
Filipinos stated that it was unlikely for them to use fewer social media.

The role of control mutuality in nonprofit social media interaction was investigated in this report.
1.1 According to (Eun Ah and Eunkyoung et.al., 2021) Studied that Since the introduction of
smartphones in 2009, social networking services (SNS), which have seen a surge in users,
facilitated changes in the media environment along with social influence that has increased the
economic value and political influence of SNS. As consumers’ media use and consumption
behavior change around digital media, social media plays a very important role in consumers’
lives. From this perspective, influencers who influence not only consumers’ consumption
behavior, but also decision-making and opinion formation based on social media are attracting
attention. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop items to measure an influencer’s
reputation as a new source of information in the SNS environment; no previous researchers have
what dimensions and items in the existing literature could effectively measure a social media
influencer’s reputation and to verify each item’s relevance as a measure of a social media
influencer’s reputation. Based on in-depth interviews with 30 experts and empirical findings
from 557 adults, this study identified dimensions that impact on a consumer’s perception of a
social media influencer and developed a scale. The results showed that the social

media Influencer’s Reputation scale comprises four distinctive dimensions: Communication
skills, influence, authenticity, and expertise. Additionally, the reliability and validity of the scale
were assessed, using exploratory and confirmatory analyses and construct validity. The findings
confirmed that the social media influencer’s reputation scale measurement items, in this study,
can be used as a consistent measurement tool for each dimension. It is also important to develop
value in favor of the marketing strategy by increasing value through the influencer’s reputation
Social platforms (SNS) seen an increase of people or impact on society and since release of
smartphones in 2009. That goal of this research would be to create an object that might be used
to establish the influencer's status as a modern source of information. As per the results, that

skills, relevance.
1.2 According to (Dankwa Duku, 2021) Studied that This paper investigated the effectiveness of
social media advertising on consumer decision-making and the mediating role of consumer
creativity were employed to assess the effectiveness of firms' social media advertising on
customer decision-making. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses with structural equation
modelling were employed to evaluate a proposed model on the relationships among the
dependent and independent constructs. (Tabachnick and Fidel, 2007) formula was used to sample
310 active social media users. Only active followers of fashion brands were
considered for this study. The study showed that consumer engagements influenced the
mediation) in social media advertising and consumer decision-making. The study recommends
that firms that advertise fashions brands on social media must focus on crafting advertisements
that are creative and informative in order to influence decisions that consumers make on social
media platforms. The study contributes to practice by indicating that emotional appeals of social
media adverts no longer influence consumer’s decision-making on fashion brands, but rather the

extent of information and newness of the adverts to satisfy their needs played a major role in
consumers' decision-making.

1.3 According to (Yadav and Kashiramka et.al., 2020) Studied that Social media has been
adopted by corporates for communicating and networking. Social media platforms help firms in
building a relationship with the outside world. The study highlights how the
adoption of social media is changing the way firms connect with their stakeholders. It highlights
how CEOs’ social media engagement on behalf of the firm contributes to building
up firms’ reputation amongst consumers. Influencer CEOs from top Fortune 500 companies have
been used for this purpose. Social media analytics has been used in this study to get relevant
insights from Twitter using methods of content analytics. Mining of user-generated content and
further analysis of its impact on engagement outcome of CEOs has been done using methods
such as web-scraping, topic modelling, bag-of-words, and dictionary methods. The study
analyses CEOs’ engagement with tweets specific to a firm’s orientation towards adopting
sustainable development goals (SDG). The study reveals how SDG-related messages on the
Twitter timeline of CEOs have high user engagement and helps build customer reputation.
Enterprises have adopted social media as a way of communication and information technology.
Organizations can use social networks to develop connections to the outside community. This
