“…Although the use of excessive time on Facebook also influence face-to-face communication, only a little attention has been paid to this topic. Many studies on Facebook addiction aims to describe the level of Facebook addiction [7], [19], [20], their implications on psychological effects of users, such as life satisfaction [21], narcissism and stress [22]. Research on social media in Indonesia has previously focused more on self-disclosure in cyberspace [23], [24].…”

“…Regardless of Facebook popularity around the world, Facebook users have strong tendency to get addicted so that they will spend the excessive amount of time to stay on Facebook and lose their self-control over their Facebook use [6]. The study of the level of social media addiction also showed that Facebook users are more likely to get addicted than users of other social media [7]. There are six dimensions to determine whether the individual has been classified as Facebook addicts; salience (e.g., spending a lot of time thinking about Facebook), mood modification (e.g., using Facebook to improve mood), withdrawal symptoms (e.g., feeling restless and messed up without using Facebook), tolerance (e.g., using Facebook for a long time), conflict (e.g., negatively impact on personal life), and relapse (e.g., feeling obliged to use Facebook continuously) [8].…”

Facebook is the most prominent social media platforms offering various attractive and captivated features. It is common to observe its users become addicted and incessantly spend an excessive amount of their time on this site. Like other addictions, Facebook addiction also has negative consequences on daily lives of its users and it often affects their face-to-face communication. This study aims to investigate the influence of Facebook addiction towards self-disclosure as the key determiner in the interpersonal communication. It used a descriptive quantitative method using a cross-sectional survey of 122 university students selected by quota sampling technique. The data were analyzed with independent sample t-test using the SPSS version 22 software to examine the difference of selfdisclosure between high and low Facebook addicted groups. Findings reveal that the users with high level of Facebook addictions are more likely to have low self-disclosure than those with the low level of Facebook addictions.

“…However, a study on social media addiction among Generation Z studentathletes was limited by the fact that previous research focused exclusively on sedentary Generation Z students (Curtis et al, 2019;Gazi & Çetin, 2017;Grau, Kleiser & Bright, 2019). The requirements of a student-athlete's academic course must be balanced with their athletic activity.…”

With the rapid advancement of internet technology, the increasing prevalence of smartphone ownership at a young age, the uncertainty surrounding the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effect of social media addiction on academic performance among students, social media use will continue to be a major point of contention. However, student-athletes are a distinct group of students who should not be overlooked due to their concurrent commitments to studying, training, and competing. As such, this study sought to investigate the effect of social media addiction on academic performance among Generation Z student-athletes during Malaysia's COVID-19 lockdown. The research design used in this study was a quantitative cross-sectional survey. This study surveyed 91 respondents and utilized the Social Media Addiction Questionnaire (SMAQ) and Grade Point Average (GPA). The findings indicated that Facebook was the preferred social media platform over Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, and that more than half of the participants were social media addicts. The researchers concluded that social media addiction had a significant impact on academic performance, accounting for 57.6 percent of the variance. These findings imply that excessive social media use, leading to addiction, has a significant negative effect on academic performance. Solutions are desperately needed, such as turning off notifications, silencing the phone, engaging in home workouts, reconnecting with family, or taking up new hobbies.
