“…Results are consistent with some studies that reported negative influences with regard to many aspects of student school performance (Rouis et al 2011;Salvation and Adzharuddin 2014;Rithika and Selvaraj 2013). Such results call for school policy makers to engage in more research to see the tradeoff between the various advantages and disadvantages of using specific social media applications.…”

“…The researcher determines in the study conducted on 506 secondary school students that attitudes of the students towards reading, levels of understanding what is read and number of words per minute with silent reading decrease as Facebook addictions of the students increase. These findings are actually in parallel with the result that Facebook use affects academic success (Akdemir, 2013;Kuss & Griffiths, 2011;Rouis et al 2011). Moreover, Türkyılmaz (2012bTürkyılmaz ( , 2014 determined that use of mass media affected attitude towards reading negatively.…”

The study aims to determine the relationship of reading fluency skills of secondary school students and level of using social media sites, reading attitudes and reading self-competence perceptions, and whether fluent reading skills of students vary depending on text genres. In this context, texts of different genres were read to 112 secondary school students. Oral readings of each text by students were recorded. These records were resolved by the researcher. Incorrectly read and skipped words were identified, and it was determined how many words were read without error in three minutes. In addition, each student marked for Reading Attitude Scale, Reading Self-Competence Perception Scale, and Facebook Addiction Scale. As a result of the study, it was determined that all of text genres were read different pacing. Moreover, a significant and positive relationship is observed between text-reading speeds. A positive relationship is observed between perceptions of students relating to their competence as readers and reading speed and attitude. It can be said that individuals with increased Facebook addiction level have decreased self-competence perceptions relating to reading. In other words, it may be said that reading competences of participants are affected negatively as addiction to Facebook social media sites increases.

“…Park et al (2014) showed that the Asian students who study in the United States and use Facebook have a higher level of psychological well-being than those who do not use any type of social network or those who utilize ethnic social networks (that is, more typical of their language or their country).Facebook use requires a certain degree of self-regulation or self-control, as is especially highlighted by two works. Rouis et al (2011) argue that students with a self-regulation capacity can limit the amount of time that they invest in Facebook and, therefore, its use will not impact negatively on their academic performance. Furthermore, 2 papers focus on the connection between Facebook and anxiety.…”

“…A total of 5 papers relate the utilization of Facebook as a teaching instrument to the degree of satisfaction achieved thanks to this experience. For example Rouis et al (2011) established as hypothesis that using Facebook increases the level of satisfaction with life because it represents a modern form of activity typically associated with leisure and because it is a communication tool that students often use to keep in touch with their friends and relatives. Similarly in Brazil, Oliviera and Huertas (2015) find out that Life Satisfaction influence on We-Intention is mediated by Subjective Norm, Group Norm, Social Identity, Entertainment Value, and Maintaining Interpersonal Interconnectivity including Facebook.…”

The objective sought with the present paper consists in analyzing the literature about Facebook in order to know the conclusions of the different works with regard to its influence on those results. The examination of 37 papers devoted to this thematic area allows us to know which journals publish more about the impacts that Facebook has on academic performance, which data collection methods are more often used, which topics emerge in parallel to the use of Facebook in the academic context, and which countries are more prolific in this field. The conclusions suggest that, despite the divergence of results, the overall outcome is positive when it comes to the use of Facebook in academic environments.
