Case 1: Social Networks Use, Loneliness and Academic Performance

among University Students (Stankovska et al., 2016)

The world is extensively changed by Social Network Site’s (SNSs) on the Internet. A
large number of children and adolescents in the world have access to the internet and are
exposed to the internet at very early age. Most of them use the Social Network Sites with the
purpose of exchanging academic activities and developing a social network all over the
world. But the excessive internet usage can lead to negative outcomes such as poor school
performance, depression and loneliness. According to these findings, the main aim of this
research is to investigate whether internet addiction is related to academic performance and
loneliness among the university students. The Emotional and Social Loneliness Scale, Scale
for Social Networks and personal information sheet were administered to sample of 120 (61
female and 59 male) university students. The results indicated that internet addiction was
positively associated with loneliness among students. At the same time we found a significant
positive relationship between social networks and loneliness, but negative relationship
between social networks and low academic performance. There was no correlation between
social networks, loneliness and high academic performance. It has been concluded that
internet addiction predicts loneliness among university students.
Questions:
1. What did the researcher want to find out or find solution to? (Problem)

2. Who were the persons involved in the study? (Participants)

How were they selected? (Sampling)

3. How did the researcher answer the problem? (Methods)

4. What are the findings of the study? (Results)

Case 2: Internet Addiction and Its Relationship with Self-Efficacy Level among Al-
Hussein Bin Talal University Students (Alrekebat, 2016)
 The aim of this study was to identify the Internet addiction and its relationship to self-
efficacy level among AL Hussein Bin Talal University students. The study sample consisted
of 300 female and male students, who were selected randomly. The participants completed a
questionnaire that consisted two scales: Internet Addiction which was prepared particularly
for this study and self-efficacy which was developed by Radhwan (1997). The results showed
that there was a weak correlative relationship between Internet Addiction degree and Self-
Efficacy were affected by gender (it was higher among male students than female students).
Finally, the results showed that there were no differences on both scales (Internet addiction
and self-efficacy) based on the participants’ academic achievement levels.
