“…In addition, Ogbonnayya (2019) examined a single Nigerian institution and found that Facebook and WhatsApp are the most popular social media applications among PSTs, who use these platforms largely for social purposes. However, in a study conducted at Dicle University, Turkey, the use of social media has been associated with the academic performance and personality traits of PSTs, wherein there is a strong indicator of procrastination and lack of discipline Karakoyun (2019). This is due to the widespread use of social networks on mobile devices and PCs Gezgin et al (2017).…”

“…The activity of modern people in social networks is one of the main forms of their interaction with the world around them through virtual space (Lam, 2015;Lau, 2018;Solmaz, 2018;Karakoyun, 2019;Mwangi, Gachahi, & Ndung'u, 2019;Owan, Ekpe, & Eneje, 2020;Radwan & Radwan, 2020;Simsek, Elciyar & Kizilhan, 2019;Mulenga, & Marbán, 2020;Baishya, & Maheshwari, 2020). In the annual report of the American Psychological Association (APA), the use of social networks (i.e., the digital environment) and Big Data opens up broad prospects for approaching the understanding of such a complex and multidimensional phenomenon as human behaviour in the real world.…”

The object of this paper is to identify psychological patterns of academic success of an individual as a manifestation of his life activity, based on the analysis of quantitative indicators (metrics) of his profile in social networks. The leading method of research was an ascertaining experiment that included diagnostics of students' academic success (N≈30 000) and components of their personal profile in social networks (psychometrics). The article shows the features of interaction between real and virtual activity of students through quantitative indicators of their personal profile metrics in social networks. The presented materials significantly fill the psychology of social networks (a new field of psychology, which is at the initial stage of its forming) with knowledge about the psychological regularities of the correlation of academic success of a person with the characteristics of her virtual activity in social networks. The project is implemented within the framework of intensive development of digital technologies and their deep integration into the social space. The results of the study expand the possibilities for diagnosing, analysing, understanding, and predicting the behaviour of a person's success through cyberspace on the example of their academic performance. The scientific novelty of this research consists in the identification of cognitive-behavioural predictors of educational activity of an individual, which are represented in virtual reality, as the result of his activity in social networks through quantitative psychometric indicators -metrics of his personal profile in social networks.

This exploratory study investigates the role that bots and trolls played on social media in widening the gaps of political partisanship in sub-Saharan Africa. Taking the case of the 2018 Zambian by-elections, the authors examined the relationship between online social media content that propagates hate and organized trolling efforts in Zambia. The study used machine learning tools to identify the origin of the bots on Facebook and Twitter accounts (trolls) of the two major political parties in Zambia (PF and UPND). Online posts that accounted for the election campaigns and the aftermath in the year 2018 were considered for the study. Findings suggest that social-mediated conversations were divided along political lines and that the examined trolling accounts systematically took advantage of the existing echo chambers to create hate messages on Zambian social networks. In other words, the findings indicated that the online hate messages that accounted for violence were neither created by the PF or UPND political parties as earlier studies suggest but by bots and trolls.
