“…Other findings of the study included the effects of social media on the enhancement of knowledge and awareness, information, assistance in educational processes such as academic counseling and research. In line with our results on the importance of social media in the enhancement of students' knowledge and awareness, in various studies, the applications of social media have been shown in educational settings [ 5 , 6 , 26 , 59 , 78 , 79 ]. In a study on the use of online social networks, Mtshali et al, 2015 showed that online conversation is useful and practical as a strategy in teaching and learning [ 80 ].…”

“…Academic challenges were another consequence of social media for teenage girls. Numerous studies have shown that uncontrolled use of digital technologies and social networks has a negative impact on students' education and academic performance, confirming our results [ 25 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ]. Other studies have reported that adolescents who are more active in social media have lower GPAs and study fewer hours [ 23 , 60 ].…”

“…In their opinion, the modern brain is prone to various psychological symptoms, such as stress, sleeplessness and compulsive device checking, due to media and technology overuse in daily life, including but not limited to media multitasking. Finally, the finding that the brains of HMMs worked less effectively than expected implies that we should pay more attention to the long-term effects of media multitasking on adolescents' neurological development in the era in which the media, especially social media, have penetrated their lives both inside and outside school (Lu et al, 2019;Luo, Liang, et al, 2020).…”

This study examined the association between media multitasking and executive function in Chinese adolescents by comparing heavy/high and light/low media multitaskers, i.e., HMMs and LMMs, with self-reports, behavioral measures and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The participants were 12 HMMs (media multitasking scores above the 75th percentile) and 10 LMMs (media multitasking scores below the 25th percentile) chosen from a sample of 61 adolescents. Each participant completed a self-reported questionnaire on executive function and three executive function cognitive tasks: 2-back, Color Stroop, and Number-letter Determination) while wearing the fNIRS. The results indicated that: (1) the HMMs showed more impairment in executive function than the LMMs based on questionnaire data analysis; (2) there were no significant differences between the HMMs and LMMs in their performance on the cognitive tasks; and (3) the HMMs showed greater prefrontal activation than the LMMs during the 2-back and Color Stroop tasks. These findings implied that media multitasking might be associated with the reduced effectiveness in the brain areas responsible for executive function. These findings provide evidence of the negative relationship between media multitasking and executive function; and indicated the benefits of using multiple assessment methods in studying this topic.

“…However, there are different results within this group of studies. In Hong Kong, outside-school social media behavior harms adolescents' academic performance, while inside-school social media behavior has positive effects on their performance [43]. Among students in Russia, there is no relationship between time spent online and academic performance, while active integration in the online community of fellow students reduces performance [44].…”

This paper aims to determine the effects of using social networks on work-related outcomes. Observed work-related outcomes are job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and work performance. The moderating effects of gender and age of respondents on the given relations were also observed. In addition, this paper aims to consider the theoretical and practical implications of such research. The research was conducted in West Balkan countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia. Respondents were employed in organizations in these countries and 313 complete questionnaires were collected. The number of social media networks and somewhat frequency of social media networks usage and the number of photos has a positive effect on individual outcomes of employed persons. Daily time usage, frequency of posting photos, number of groups, and number of groups (active participant) have negative effects on individual outcomes of employed persons. Prolonged use of social media networks (during the day) can especially reduce job satisfaction while joining a large number of groups severely jeopardizes organizational commitment. Active participation in a number of groups significantly reduces salary satisfaction and organizational loyalty among male employees. Excessive use of social media network sites and frequent posting of images can reduce satisfaction with the nature of work and work performance among older employees. The discovered connections and influences have scientific and practical significance, which is explained in the paper.
