TikTok has been widely used by Filipino youths, most especially students, for entertainment purposes in between or after class as pass time activity. Previous studies were already conducted in regards to the positive and negative effect of using TikTok to students’ academic performance. This present study aims to determine if TikTok can predict the level of engagement of students. 103 college students currently enrolled under the Bachelor of Performing Arts at City College of Angeles participated in this study. Independent T-test analysis was performed to examine the difference between gender in terms of TikTok consumption and level of engagement; Pearson correlation coefficient analysis was also used to determine the relationship between TikTok consumption and level of engagement; lastly, Linear regression was utilized to predict the relationship of TikTok consumption to the level of engagement of students. The findings revealed that there is no significant difference between TikTok consumption and level of engagement in terms of gender. Moreover, a significant relationship was observed between TikTok consumption and level of engagement. Finally, TikTok consumption positively predicts the level of engagement of students. In line with this, recommendations were proposed based on the results of this study. This present study offers new standpoint in the smart and responsible use of TikTok application and how it can positively affect the level of engagement of students in a local college setting
The positive effect of dance engagement on the psychological well-being of individuals has been consistently established based on previously conducted studies. On the other side, no evidence was found in the moderating and mediating role of motivation in the relationship between the two variables. As a solution, this study is focused on determining the moderating and mediating role of dance motivation to dance engagement and psychological well-being. This study has adopted three questionnaires, namely: Dance Motivation Questionnaire (DMQ), the Sports Engagement Scale (SPS), and Psychological Wellbeing Scale (PWS). Additionally, Partial Least-Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS4 was performed to analyze the data. Analysis based on factor loading, average variance extracted (AVE), Fornell-Larcker Criterion, Cross loading, and HTMT were performed to establish the reliability and validity of the questionnaires (convergent and discriminant). After surveying 117 students taking Bachelor of Performing Arts at City College of Angeles, dance engagement positively effects students’ psychological well-being, which is consistent based on previously conducted studies. On the other hand, motivation has no moderating and mediating role in the relationship between the two variables. The study highly suggests conducting a similar study to support or refute the claim of this investigation.
