“…That is to say that internet addiction does not strengthen or lessen the extent to which people engage in social bullying. This finding contradicts previous findings by Ko et al (2012) ; Andreassen et al (2017) ; Alexandraki et al (2018) ; Boniel-Nissim and Sasson (2018) ; Kircaburun and Griffiths (2018) , Kircaburun et al (2018) , Kırcaburun et al (2019) , Li et al (2019) ; Simsek et al (2019) , Boer et al (2021) , and Çimke and Cerit (2021) who found a positive relationship between internet addiction and traditional and cyberbullying. It is somewhat surprising that such a finding was not obtained in the present study.…”

“…There has been no research on moderating the role of internet addiction in the associations of IGD, risk-taking behavior, and social bullying yet. Although studies (e.g., Ko et al, 2012;Andreassen et al, 2017;Alexandraki et al, 2018;Boniel-Nissim and Sasson, 2018;Kırcaburun et al, 2019;Li et al, 2019;Simsek et al, 2019;Boer et al, 2021;Çimke and Cerit, 2021) have found a significant relationship between adolescents' internet addiction, social media use intensity and addiction, cyberbullying and victimization, psychiatric disorder, social media use problems, mental health, depressive and anxiety symptoms, school functioning and peer victimization. Also, internet addiction has been found to have a significant association between harsh parenting, maltreatment and bullying (Lo et al, 2021), child abuse, social phobia, depression and bullying victimization (Malaeb et al, 2020), parental mediation, cyberbullying and depression (Chang et al, 2015).…”

An issue that affects the academic engagement, performance, health and wellbeing of university undergraduates is bullying. Substantial literature has examined the predictors of bullying perpetration, but there is little research on the contributions of internet-related factors and the propensity to take risks in bullying. We examined the roles of IGD, risk-taking behavior, and internet addiction in social bullying. Four instruments were used for data collection, namely: Young Adult Social Behavior Scale (YASB), the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale (IGDS9-SF), Domain-Specific Risk-Taking Scale, and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) Scale. Participants were 552 undergraduate students from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka consisting of 143 males and 409 females (age range = 17–32 years; M = 21.45; SD = 2.71). Results of regression analysis showed that gaming disorder (GD) and risk-taking behavior had positive associations with social bullying. Thus, the more people grow addicted to internet gaming and takes more risks, the more they are likely to become bullies. Internet addiction had no significant association with social bullying. Efforts should be made to minimize the rate of dysfunctional internet use, GD and risk-taking behaviors of undergraduates in order to curtail bullying perpetration.

“…PUI is an umbrella term describing excessive online activities associated with marked functional impairment and/or distress. Recent studies have reported that cyberbullies manifest some addictive features on the Internet, as individuals with higher symptom severity of Internet addiction manifested a higher risk of being cyber-perpetrators [16,17]. However, future research may want to investigate if these subjects manifest symptoms of addiction to CBB itself (e.g., the inability to stop bullying online despite the negative consequence of it) or simply to the Internet as its medium.…”

“…Finally, it is important to keep in mind that social media may also have a negative impact on students. Indeed, these young people may be fragile and may be at risk of cyberbullying or social media addiction in the more severe cases [ 44 , 45 ], but social media could also be responsible for an increase in their distractibility and have consequences on concentration [ 46 ].…”

Learning modifications particularly increased due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, which made it necessary to offer distance health education for many months. Social media allows students to have interactive activities such as discussing specific subjects or sharing data with each other, and also to have interactions with their teachers and tutors. So, we aimed to compare the effects of the use of social media on knowledge, skills and perceptions in health students compared to other methods. We performed a systematic review on PubMed, ScienceDirect and Embase about comparative learning methods using social media. The search followed PRISMA guidelines, and the quality assessment of the studies was performed using the Medical Education Research Quality instrument (MERSQI). Eight studies were analyzed including 1014 participants. Mean age ranged from 19.9 to 23.4 years, and 70% were females. About 54.4% of the participants were medical students and 20.9% were dental students. The mean MERSQI was 11.7 ± 2.6. Various subjects were included—anatomy, cultural competences, sterile surgical techniques, radiology, arthrocentesis, medical pathologies and cariology. As far as knowledge evaluation was concerned, we found that the use of social media may have had a positive effect from a short-term point of view but results concerning skills were less consistent across studies. Students usually had a positive perception of the use of social media as a complementary method but not as a complete alternative so it is not excluded that this effect might result from an increase in working time. The impact on patient care should also be assessed in future studies.
