Using correlational research design and convenient sampling. Data was collected from 300 university students age ranged (18-25 years, M=22.68, and SD=2.53). A set of standardized questionnaire (social Networking Addiction scale, Cyber- Victimization scale and Academic Performance scale) were used to find out the correlation among study variables. Pearson correlation analysis showed that social media usage has a significant negative correlation with academic performance. Furthermore, it shows that social media usage has significant positive correlation with cyberbullying. These results shows that those students who spend more time on social media will have more chances of cyberbullying and lower academic performance. The study findings also shows that spending too much time on social media can be bad because it can distract you and reduce the time you spend on studying. Furthermore, its shows that cyberbullying on social media can lead to negative outcomes. It can affect how you feel emotionally and make it hard to focus on your studies. Additionally, the study says that what you post on social media can affect how you see yourself and how you get along with others. So, it's important to be aware of this and think about what you share online. The study doesn't say you should stop using social media, but it suggests using it wisely. This means being aware that too much social media can be bad for your academic work and mental health. So, use it responsibly.Item Cyberbullying, Fear of Missing Out and Self-Perception in Adolescents(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2024) Mehak Shahzadi; SP20-BPY-029; Ms. Hamna Zahid; LHR TP 8891In recent years many parents and researchers have expressed concerns regarding the potential negative impact of social media use on adolescents. Some studies have indicated that social media use may be tied to negative mental health outcomes. Other studies have not found evidence for harm, or have indicated that social media use may be beneficial for some individuals. The current correlational study examined 417 adolescents from different Pakistani school and college students for their time spent using social media, and the importance of social media in their lives. The research investigated the relationship among cyberbullying, fear of missing out (FOMO), and self-perception by checking whether cyberbullying is a predictor of self-perception while fear of missing out acted as a mediator. Key findings include significant correlations between these factors, indicating that higher levels of cyberbullying and fear of missing out are associated with negative self-perception in adolescents. Results indicated that cyberbullying was not predictive of self-perception while fear of missing out acted as a mediator. However, cyberbullying was predictive of fear of missing out, suggesting this may be particularly relevant in leading to increased levels of mental health issues in cyberbullying victims. The study contributes to understanding the psychological impacts of digital technology use among young individuals and suggests the need for strategies to mitigate these negative effects. Finally, the theoretical implications of our findings on the relationship between these variables and the mental health issues of adolescent victims of cyberbullying are discussed.
