Chapter I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents the introduction of the study. The Background of the
study, Statement of the problem, Significance of the Study, and the Scope3 and
Delimitation are included in this chapter.

Background of the Study

Facebook is considered as one of the most popular platforms for social

networking among youths. Facebook usage also encompasses both the simple use
of the platform and the extent of cognitive immersion into the site. Facebook has
now become a global phenomenon and attracted population from all around the
world in different ages, cultures, education levels, etc. The use of the site implies the
presence of individual users on the social website, time spent on the platform,
frequent visits, and the nature of the activities performed.

According to Benthamphen the introduction and rise of the Social Network

Site (SNS), Facebook has been one of the most important social trends of the past
decade. Although it only opened to the public in 2006, Facebook reports are already
serving one billion monthly active users at the end of 2012. Moreover, 80% of these
users reside outside the US and services are available in 70 languages, making
Facebook a worldwide platform. While there are concerns about the accuracy and
trustworthiness of these numbers (the number of accounts that are frequently used
may differ from the real number of individuals using the platform) and neutral
information is not available, one should agree the size of this SNS is at least
substantial and the growth rate impressive.

On the other hand, with accordance to the definition of the definition of social
relationship, it is quite simply any connection, association or bond with at least one
other person that follows an expected behaviour in a social situation. Examples re
peer to peer relationship, marriage relationship, church relationship, ect.

According to Joinson (2011). Research has shown that many people connect
to social network sites at least once a day either to check their profile or to
participate in different online activities. As of January 2016, statistic states that the
total population in the Philippines has reached over a hundred million and forty six
percent of this population is active internet users.

There’s no surprise that almost Filipinos are actively joining social media.
We cannot deny that being active on sites make us popular and well-known, it
brings us more friends and acquaintances while being connected on our families and
relatives from different regions. Being connected and updated through the use of
Facebook really implements a lot of benefits to the people.

The increasing popularity of social networking websites such as Facebook has

affected how we interact with other people, and that includes how we communicate
with others. Initiating the process has gone from barely asking a person out to
instant messaging the person or even liking the profile picture. While it is evident
that facebook influence the change, everyone would still wonder if it’s for better or
for worse.

Facebook makes new relationship more easily accessible, while people rarely
use Facebook as a venue for meeting new people; it is often used for the next phase
of contact after an initial face-to-face meeting. Facebook instantly provides
information other people’s interest and hobbies. Facebook also provides great
convenience for people to interact with each others social networks. But, Facebook
can also become a source of relational confusion and distress. It can be a source of
anxiety, as the information on facebook is not all truthful.

Most of the social network users specifically Facebook are young individuals,
most of whom are university students. Hence, facebook is considered to play an
active role in younger generation’s daily lives. The relationship between the youth
and their involvement in social network sites has attracted many researchers that
focused on young people’s social network activities in relation to their privacy
concerns as pertaining in their usage of facebook. Similarly, comparisons of different
social networks in terms of their features and user’s demographics such as gender,
frequency of use and their reasons for participating in social network environments
remain as the most popular research areas.
The researchers want to study the affiliation of Facebook to the social
relations of the Senior High School students at Calabanga National science High
School (CNSHS). Moreover, it aims to widen the knowledge of the readers regarding
the correlation of facebook and its user’s social statuses.

Statement of the Problem

1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents along:

a. Age c. Financial Status

b. Gender d. (behaviour to peers) Social

relationship

2. What is the level of facebook usage to the respondents?

3. What is the level of effect of facebook usage to the respondents?

4. Is there any relationship between facebook usage and social relationship?

Significance of the Study

The result of the study will give important contributions to the following:

Students. The students will benefit from the study because it will strengthen their
awareness on the effects of facebook on their social relationship. It will also help the
students to interact and socialize with other people.

Teachers. This study will also benefit the teachers in understanding the behaviour
of the students. Also to help them evaluate the capability of the students in line with
social relationship.
Parents. Similarly, parents will be benefited because this is one way to know their
child’s demeanour. This will also help them to know the performance of their child at
school. They would be able to understand what their children are thinking and they
would be able to guide them properly.

School Admin. The school administrators would also be benefited as this would
help them to make the students more attentive in school. The study would also help
them to handle or to give assistance to the students and make them do their
corresponding tasks.

Future Researchers. Consequently, the study will guide the future researchers
mainly as reference for their respective research with regards to facebook and social
relations.

Scope and Delimitation

This study is exclusive to determine if the social media network, Facebook

has a significant impact to the social relationship of the Senior High School students
at Calabanga National Science High School through a survey that would be
conducted during the school year of 2018-2019 with chosen 40 respondents. The
research does not include the study about the other social media network such a
twitter, instagram, youtube and such.

The survey questionnaire on the effect of facebook usage to the

relationship of Senior High School students will be used on gathering informations
about the study.
CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the Review of related literature and studies, Theoretical
framework, Conceptual framework and the Definition of terms.

Related Literature

This research effort is targeted at finding the effects of social media on

students performance. Therefore, the literature review discusses the relevant
research that is useful to the objectives of this research project. Several research
studies investigating the topic under review are found to be very recent. Since most
of the innovative features offered by social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter,
Unkedin, and many others are not that old and the phenomenon of the use of these
media has boosted recently with the introduction of revolutionary features and
platforms. A volume of recent research on its effects on students’ academic
performance is available. Most of the studies chosen have been published in the past
four to five years.

Tess (2013), Presents a very comprehensive literature review paper regarding

the role of social media in higher education virtual and real classes. The review has
consulted almost every popular research database around the world to make this
review rich in terms of covering almost every aspect of explaining the role of
different social media in higher education classes. This research finds Facebook to
be the most popular social networking site among students as reported by some
researchers and it has reached a one billion use base in October 2012. My space is
another SNS which started in 2003 and got popular among people around 2009.
However it is not that popular among educational setups. Linkedin with more than
35,000,000 users has been reported as the third most popular SNS but mostly used
for professional networking. In addition, this research found Blogs, Social Impact,
and twitter among the other popular social networking sites.
His review argues that researchers who support the integration of social
media into educational setup are of the view that conversational processes ensuring
maximum interaction and maximum mix of reflections are possible only through
social networking platforms.

Furthermore, Tess (2013) again finds a variety of diverse correlations existing

in the literature. Some studies find significantly negative correlation between
students ‘ results and use of social media while others find no correlations or weak
correlations. Even a few studies come up with positive correlations although not very
significant. Interestingly the negative correlations between SNS’s usage and poor
performance have been associated with personality traits or other behavioural or
psychological aspects rather than solely with the use of these platforms.

Rouis, Limayem, and Salehi-Sangari (2011) investigate the effects of using

Facebook on academic performance of undergraduate students at Lulea University of
Technology Sweden in relation to their personality traits. In addition the research
tries to justify the relationship among the three i.e. Facebook usage, personality
traits and academic performance.Their analysis of 239 students’ data reveals very
significant results. This research establishes that using Facebook has strong negative
impact on academic performance of students with extrovert personalities . However,
factor of self-regulation among students greatly reduces this negative impact as they
have high level of effective self-control while using social media platforms. Cognitive
absorption, which defines extent of deep involvement, is another personality factor
taken into consideration while undertaking this research.

Consequently, Rouis, Limayem and Salehi-Sangari (2011) successfully make

the observation that extent of cognitive absorption determines the frequency and
duration of social media usage. However, they add that level of cognitive absorption
is in turn defined by self-control and other personality factors. While multitasking
skills do nothing to reduce frequency and use of social media among students, they
moderate the effects of social media on students’ performance by tuning the
cognitive absorption.
Junco R. (2012), Investigates the impact of Facebook being a social medium
on students’ performance on academic courses. The research analyzes data from
1839 respondents studying 4 years degrees in residential institutes of north eastern
USA to find trends on frequency of Facebook visits and activities, time spent on class
preparation and academic grades of the students under research. Analysis of the
collected data reveals that time spent on Facebook and frequency of visiting
facebook are negatively related to students’ performance in terms of their GPA .
However, there is slightly negative correlation between time spent on this widely
used social medium and the time spend in studying for class. He further adds that
although time spent on social media and academic performance are negatively
correlated but, this relationship in real world scenarios does not seem to be major
hurdle in academic success.

Moreover, Junco R. (2012) emphasizes a further investigation into the issue

to find some variables like focus and intervention that may be strongly related to
academic performance. The negative academic impacts related to certain ways
students use this social medium. He observes that some specific uses of this social
media are related to improved academic while others contribute to lower academic
results.

Ul Haq and Chand (2012) investigated the usagfe and popularity of

famous social media network (Facebook) among university students with special
focus on the gender based comparison and the impact of the selected social medium
on their academic performance. The two researchers evaluate the pattern and
frequency of Facebook use among university students while focusing gender
differences and student opinion about the impacts of this medium on academic
performance. The research analyzes a random sample of 384 respondents including
an equal mix of males and females. The respondents belong to undergraduate,
graduate and postgraduate programs with a mean age of 21 years.

Hamat , Embi, & Hassan (2012) studied the use of social networking
flatforms among undergraduate and post graduate of Malaysian institutes of higher
education. This qualitative research collected data on 6358 students respondents
through a self-administered ministered questionnaire and analyzed this data to make
observations of the use of social networking sites among them. The study also
collect opinion of students about the impacts of social medium on their academic
performance. One of the very significant findings of the study is about the use of
social networking sites for the purpose of learning. Majority of the respondents
agree that they use SNSs as in formal learning tool and that it helps them connect to
their friends and peers to get help regarding to their studies. However, in case of
interaction with teachers, an equal split of oppose opinion exist.

Yang & Tang (2003) conducted a research studied on forty (40) graduate
students studying a course in advance management information system (AMIS) in a
university in Taiwan to investigate the impact of using social media for educational
purpose on the academic performance of the students. Students were grouped into
14 teams to discuss various questions based on MIS cases in an online forum
specifically set up for the purpose. The students had to come up the summaries of
the discussion made in the forum. at the end of the course, data was collected from
the forty students on a self-administered for the purpose of tshis particular research.
The objective of the study was to find correlation among friendship, advice and
adversarial factors and students academic performance. The results of the analysis
shows a strong correlation between centrality in friendship factor and students
academic performance. Friendship is psychologically associated with companionship
which gives individuals’s better chance of accessing support and information on
problems. It can be inferred that promoting friendship among students in a
controlled social media environment, can help improve students’ academic
performance.

Negussie & Ketema (2014) conducted a cross-sectional survey to a jimma

university Ethiopia between March 2012 and March 2013 to find it any adverse
effects of using social networking sites on students’ academic performance exist.
Like many other studies , this research effort also took facebook into consideration
to establishing its findings. In a cross-sectional study of 490 respondents, the
research did not find any significant relationship between students duration and
frequency in use of facebook and their academic performance.

Related Studies
Facebook is used by many people to connect with their friends and relatives
around the globe (Brydolf, 2007). And the use of Facebook platform has grown so
fast that it has eve attracted the attention of university students; they are so
engrossed n the sites that they have almost forgotten their academic work.
University students are considered victim of social media sites more than any group
of people as thy negatively impact their academic performance (Passek and
Hargettai, 2009).

It is disclosed that Facebook (FB) is a mechanism for new friends, rather than
close friends, to become more acquainted. They have also stated that people will
behave differently according to who they are interacting with, what kind of
relationships they have, and other scenarios. Another emphasis from their research
is that their respondents tended to use the Internet to make contacts with distant
social circle and to utilize face-to-face contacts with local social circles. This is
demonstrating that the relationship influences users’ social behaviours. (Wang and
Tai, 2011).

According to Hu, Sewek, Kim, and Wilder (2017), Facebook can be both
beneficial and detrimental for uses’ psychological well-being. The current study
attempts to reconcile these seemingly mixed and inconsistent findings by unpacking
the specific effects of Facebooking on users’ online-offline social relationship
satisfaction and psychological well-being. Using structural equation modelling,
pathways were examined between Facebook intensity, online-offline social
relationship satisfaction, perceived social support, social interaction, anxiety, and
psychological well-being. Personality differences in each of those paths were also
assessed.

Furthermore, Collin, Rahilly, Richardson,and Third (2011),said that the use of

Social Networking Services (SNS) – such as Facebook.com and Twitter.com – has
become a popular and integral part of everyday communication in Australia. Young
people in Australia are particularly enthusiastic users: the vast majority is engaging
on a daily basis with SNS via a computer or mobile phone. Research in this area is
an emerging field and studies identifying the negative impacts have tended to
dominate the popular media and much policy development. However, there is
substantial evidence of the benefits associated with SNS use, which has been largely
neglected in public debate. The following report summarizes current evidence
concerning the enabling effects of SNS in the context of young people’s everyday
lives.

Vasalou et al.,(2010) underscored that many people actively participate in

content generation and value creation, and several researchers have examined their
profiles to determine why and to what extent they are keen on posting their entire
identity, sharing pictures and videos, and indicating their religious affiliations, marital
status, and political orientations on the internet. These users interact with others,
exchange information about their interests, and raise discussions about new topics,
follows news about specific topics on different Social Networking Sites.

Consequently Di Capua, (2012) mentioned that their research represents a

review of more than one hundred studies on social networking website Facebook. An
initial section has been made and has led to the identification of eight main research
themes: effects on the users, friendship, construction of impressions, privacy, use,
Facebook and politics, self-impression and construal, social capital, and the merging
of social spheres. Use of Facebook is also influenced by peers and experience with
the website.

Jarett (2015) also said that Facebook is changing the social life of our species.
Common topics for study are link between Facebook use and personality, and
whether the network alleviates or foster loneliness. A study of the actual FB use
found that personality was a more important factor than gender and FB experience,
with high scorers on neuroticism spending more time on FB.

According to Wentzel (2011), for most students, early adolescence is a

time of change and transition. With respect to interpersonal relationships and social
adjustment, these changes reflect a growing psychological and emotional
independence from adults and a corresponding dependence on peer relationships to
establish and maintain positive perceptions of the self. Often confounding these
general developmental challenges is a transition to a new school environment, which
tends to be marked by adolescents' perceptions that teachers no longer care about
them, and decreased opportunities to establish meaningful relation- ships with
peers.

Baldwin (2012) said that personality influences on social relationships and

vice versa were longitudinally studied. Personality affected relationships, but not vice
versa. The dynamic-interactionistic framework can also be applied to the transaction
between personality and social relationships. A dyadic social relationship is
characterized at the behavioural level by a relatively stable interaction pattern and at
the cognitive level by a relationship schema that consists of relationship-specific
mental representations of self, other, and the interaction pattern.

Pierce (2013) underscored that studying transactions between personality and

social relationship status has the advantage that personality effects on social
relationships and vice versa are aggregated across relationship, thus reducing the
impact of chance influences on each particular relationship effect. Social network
approach is used to study the relationship status.

Brissette (2011) stated that social integration is participation in a broad range

of social relationship. It is a multidimensional construct thought to include a
behavioral component- active engagement in a wide range of social activities or
relationships- and a cognitive component- a sense of communality and identification
with one’s social roles.

Durkheim (2010) explained that the concept of social integration is from the
seminal work on social conditions and suicide. Durkheim proposed that stable social
structure and widely held norms are protective and serve to regulate behaviour.

Theoretical Framework

The theoretical framework of the study was anchored on the theory known as
the Flow Theory.
Borrowed from psychology, Flow theory helps assess human-computer
interactions and addresses people’s use of the internet. Flow, as defined by
Csikzentimanlyi (1997, p36), is the “holistic sensation that people feel when they
with total involvement.” It implies absorption in a task such that the person is
completely attracted by the artefact and the task being performed. Websites, email
tools, and the computer itself are all artefacts; the task refer to n assignment
performed using these tools (Firineran and Zhang, 2003). Thus, Facebook is an
artefact and people using these network engage in tasks that prompt their flow on
the platform. Novak et al (1998) also provide an extensive review of the definition of
flow as experienced by people immersed in a task. Described as total concentration
and deep involvement in the tasks, these activities result in intrinsic enjoyment,
combined with keen curiosity and pleasure that encourages repetition of the activity,
but also the loss of time and inability to control usage or halt the activity.

Consequently, Social exchange theory is a social psychological and

sociological perspective that explains social change and stability as a process of
negotiated exchanges between parties. Social exchange theory posits that human
relationships are formed by the use of a subjective cost-benefit analysis and the
comparison of alternatives. The theory has roots in economics, psychology and
sociology. Social exchange theory features many of the main assumption found in
rational choice theory and structuralism. It is also used quite frequently in the
business world to imply a two-sided, mutually contingent and rewarding process
involving transactions or simply exchange. All relationships have give and take,
although the balance of this exchange is not always equal. Social exchange theory
explains how we feel about a relationship with another person as depending on our
perception of:

 The balance between what we put into the relationship and what we get out
of it.

 The kind of relationship we deserve.

 The chances of having a better relationship with someone else

Dialogue Theory dialogue finds life through prior and continuing dialogues;
meaning is discovered through responses to narratives and emergent questions
within historical existences, which arbitrate demands within a proximate dialogic
occasion. Explication of this perspective situates dialogue within a postmodern
moment, connects it to Buber’s historical account of the development of the term,
frames the ethical implications of this form of communicative practice, reviews
dialogic scholarship within the field of communication, and concludes with an
examination of the importance of monologue within a postmodern/hyper textual
understanding of dialogic theory. Dialogue is defined as “any negotiated exchange of
ideas and opinions” (Kent and Taylor, 1998,p.325). Public relations can facilitate
dialogue by establishing channels and procedures for dialogic communication (Kent
and Taylor,2002). Dialogic theory argues what organizations should be willing to
interact with publics in honest and ethical ways in order to create effective
organization-public communication channels (Kent, Taylor, and White, 2003).

Conceptual Framework

Based on the Flow theory, the study would like to determine the effects of
Facebook in Social Relations.
Facebook is defined as an online social networking website where people
can create profiles, share information such as pictures and quotes about themselves,
and respond or link the information posted by others. It is a platform that promotes
and facilitates interaction between friends, family, and colleagues.
Social relations also known as Social Interaction is a feeling between two
people or groups in which their thinking, acting, and feeling is mutually related.
