Zusammenfassung: | Due to the ease of access and technological progression, social networking sites have deeply rooted in our lives. This study scientifically scrutinized gender discrepancies concerning social media usage and its influences on academic performance. Results revealed explicit differences between social media usage among teenage boys and girls. Boys mainly use social media for communication and interaction, while girls use social networking sites for educational purposes. Moreover, results also affirmed a strong positive correlation between social media usage and students' academic performance. Therefore, the researchers recommended further evaluation of other facets of social media to analyze their usage and its impacts on students' educational performance. |
