• In Event: RTD- Outcomes of Learners' Social Media Use

Short Description

This study aimed to explore how social media (SNS) addiction, anxiety, and self-control affect academic performance in college students. Over 250 college students participated in this study. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the empirical data. Results showed that social media addiction had a positive impact on their anxiety, which in turn negatively moderated the positive relationship between self-control and GPA.
