Research on Social Media Usage among students

This research paper investigates the profound impact of high-intensity social media usage on student well-being within the modern academic landscape, revealing that 84.7% of the university population is currently affected by this digital saturation. By utilizing advanced behavioral modeling and psychometric tools, the study identifies critical correlations between problematic digital habits and mental health challenges, specifically documenting a significantly elevated risk for clinical anxiety and mental exhaustion. The analysis further explores how unregulated social media use disrupts physiological requirements like sleep quality while highlighting the essential role of digital literacy—which can boost academic performance by 55%—as a protective factor for students navigating the "attention economy".
