Paper Abstract:
|
The use of Social Network Sites (SNS) has been associated with both positive and negative effects on adolescents. To untangle these conflicting findings, the present research investigates relationships among differing indicators of SNS use and indices of academic, social and psychological adjustment in a population of first year college students in the United States. Compulsive use rather than heavy, intense, or habitual use was found to account for maladjustment. |
