Social media use and self-control

Social media is extremely prevalent in many aspects of modern life. It is essential to understand how time spent on social media impacts us. This study assumes that there is a negative correlation between the amount of time spent on social media and a level of self-control. Most of the previous studies were focused on young groups and how social media use may influence them. Therefore, it would be interesting to see a relationship between different age groups and excessive social media use. The investigation will use quantitative research and multiple regression analysis. The aim is to examine if the time spent on social media decreases self-control. The time spent on social media scale will be included, as well as, self-control scale, and age group via Qualtrics. It is hypothesised that if social media use increases, self-control decreases. It is predicted that there is a negative correlation between the age group and self-control—time spent on social media and age group as an independent variable and self-control as a dependent variable
