INTRODUCTION
The advent of high technology in the 20 th century has dramatically changed the
lives of the people. Subsequent to that is the proliferation of Social Networking Sites
which does not only affect the professionals but to younger generation as well
communicating with friends and family anywhere in the world has been made easy
once you have access to the internet. Connecting with people can be readily
accessible through few such as Facebook, You Tube, Skype etc. are Social Networking
Sites (SNSs) which have attracted countless users. People utilize their time on these
sites for; uploading, downloading researching and getting information for their career
and academic requirements. People are always online, chatting, watching, videos doing
research and so on. Using this social sites like Facebook is habitual and become a way
With the explosion of social networking sites, people connected in seconds, the world
becomes a village and friendship grow at global level. This craze of social networking
sites has led to a host of question regarding its effects of exposure to Social networking
sites.
(Clouds-Media, 2016) reported that 95% of UAE’s population has direct access
to the internet, and the UAE one of the largest consumers of Social Networking sites in
the world, the population are active on Facebook, Chatting, Research, and Net Surfing

rare. (Badri et al., 2016) examined the usage of social Net Working Sites and
applications among students in Abu Dhabi. A survey of more than 31,000 children from
private and public school showed a high home access to internet of 91.7%. Results
showed that children used Social Net Working Sites mainly for keeping contact with
friends and family and for learning purposes. A report by (AL Sayigh, 2013) Noted that

following: age, gender, civil status, ethnicity, family income, and religious
affiliation.
The use of Social Networking Sites is very common today. Facebook alone has
over 750 million members, Twitter having over 177 million tweets per day, and about 3
billion people view YouTube (Chen & Bryer, 2012) the use of Social Networking Sites
has been repeatedly found to be the highest among those between the ages of 18-29
9
(Rainie, 2011); while the fastest growing segment utilizing Social Networking Sites
since 2008 has been among those age 35 and older (Hampton, Sessions, Goulet,
Rainie, & Purcell, 2011, p,8). Approximately 61% of teens age 12-17 utilize Social
Networking Sites to send messages to their friends on a regular basis (Lenhart, 2009).
This study shows that approximately half of all teens who have internet access are also
members of Social Networking Sites, and use the internet to make plans and socialize
with friends (Kist, 2008). As one researcher stated, “Teens use the Social Networking
Sites as an extension of their personality, to show their friends – and the world- who
they are, what they care about, and to build a connection with other like- minded a
people” (Goodman, 2007). It stated that the vast majority of teenagers visit at least one
Social Networking Sites approximately twenty times each day. Furthermore, cited by
Sheldon (2008) shows that the students of Youngstown State University. Found out that
82% of college students reported logging into Facebook more frequently than older
students to keep in touch with friends from high school or from their home town.
Research has shown that the girls and boys are likely to have a SNSs account,
the reasons for this accounts may vary on based on gender (Bonds- Raacke & Raacke,
2008). For girls, Social Networking Sites are primarily placed to reinforce pre-existing
friendships; for boys, the networks provide opportunities for flirting and making new
friends (Bonds- Raacke& Raacke. 2008). Girls are more likely than boys to post
sexually explicit pictures of themselves, (Rafferty 2009). However, boys are more likely
10
to create an account simply because they are trying to meet a significant other, or they
are already in a relationship with someone. (Peter & Valkkenburg, 2009). The boys
have more difficulty expressing their thoughts and emotions face to face with others
than girls do. (Peter & Valkenburg, 2009). The numbers of teenagers, both male and
female, participating on Social Networking Sites is triggering, and this may explain why
certain problems arise from these sites that have become a major problem in today’s
society. Moreover, Gross (2004) found that that the most common activity among
american middle and high school students was chatting via instant messaging. In 2007,
teen age girls in the US were more active bloggers than boys- perhaps the first time
that females were more active participants than males in the public mode of computer

The concept of” ethnicity” and the related term “race” was in Cornell and

Moody EJ (2001) Social Networking Sites have added entirely new meanings to
interpersonal interaction and community it is interplay between internet and real life

college students who have internet access of SNSs regularly, for some type of social

shape interpersonal communication in the future no matter of what race you are.
However, either of what ethnicity came from according to Englander (2010) proclaim
that internet usage is negatively associated with academic performance of the students.
Nolwa and Andrea (2003) propose that addicted users prefer using internet setting
back their personal and professional responsibility and this ultimately leads to poor
academic performance. Furthermore, Karpinski (2009) says that among various unique
distractions of every generation, Social Networking Sites has been proved as the major

The rapid adoption of Social Networking Sites has prompted educators, parents
and researchers to consider the role Social Networking Sites play in social life. Few
scholars, however, have examined the effects of Social Networking Sites on the
religious belief of emerging adults. Drawing from Peters Berger’s concept of “plausibility
structures” and his theory of pluralism, I explore whether young adults who use Social
Networking Sites are more likely to condone religious pluralism and syncretism. With
the meteoric rise of Social Networking Sites, people now have unprecedented access to
new ideas, beliefs and practices. Social Networking Sites such as Facebook and Twitter
create a marketplace of ideas that encourage and facilitate the sharing and exchanging

of information. (Brenner and Smith 2013). Despite their usefulness and popularity,
technology have accelerated the growth of the phonography and gambling industries.
Other studies have shown that internet use may underwrite antisocial behaviors for
adolescents (Wang et al. 2012) and that Social Networking Sites are cited as
Anthrop Gonzales et al. according to their research American first year college
students respectively describe how their religiosity had impacted on their academic
performances. Four themes emerged from the students’ descriptions, and these provide
the basis of assumption that high levels of religiosity amongst Christian should be
positively related to high levels of academic performance: 1) God excepts them to excel
in whatever they do, 2) God’s prohibition of the high school and college distraction
such as wild partying, pre-marital sex, drug use and excessive alcohol consumption,
cyber-sex, enabled them to focus more on their academic work ,3) god was always
there to be help them be successful in their academic endeavors, and 4) Belief in God
enabled them to see that education was an important part of their ultimate objective in
All the studies were conducted in America found a positive correlation between
religiosity and academic performances. Mckune and Hoffman (9) they used church
attendance as a proxy for college student religiosity, and students’ average grade as a
proxy for academic performance. Include the belief in divinity of sacred scripture and

without checking and updating their profiles on these social networks even at the
detriment of other activities such as educational and career pursuit. (Morahan- Martin
and Schumacher, 2000) explain social Networking addiction as the excessive use of the
internet and the failure to control this usage which seriously harms a person’s life. In an
article on the Daily Trust newspaper, Itodo (2011) posits that there seem to be an
alarming rate of social networking obsession among students today; a trend that could
affect their academic, social and spiritual lives negatively if not properly controlled. Bello

students reported that Social Networking Sites impacted positively and helped to grow
their lives and 74% said that it had adverse impact like procrastination, lack of
concentration, or distraction and poor time management. They also found out that even

Several studies have been done regarding Social Networking and grades.
students. They asked question regarding which Social Networking Sited were used,
how much time they spent on a site, what their grade point average (GPA) was, and
what they were going to school for. It was concluded that there is no correlation
between how much time is spent on Social Networking Sites and grade (Martin 2009).
Their research show that 63% of heavy users received high grades, compared to 65%
of light users. The Universities of New Hampshire said that a majority of students use

Conceptual Framework
This study was anchored on the concept of (Ellis and Truscott, 1978) state the
history of Social Networking Site. This part will explain the background of the research.
Social Networking Sites started with the bulletin board system (BBS) in the early
part of 1978 which was hosted on personal computers exchanging information over
phone lines with other users. (Ward Christensen and Randy Suess 1978). This was the
first system that allowed users to sign in and interact with each other. In the later part of
1978, Ellis and Truscott created the Usenet which allow the user to post articles. What
23
follows are the modern forums that use the same idea not including Yahoo, and Google
groups. Instant messaging came (IRC). IRC” Internet Relay Chat” (Jarkko Oikarinen,
1988) was unique based limiting access to most people. In 1997 sixdegrees.com was
launched in this kind of SNS allowed user to create profiles list. In 1998 although

Lately, online Social Networking Sites engage students and need to be studied
as distributors of information. The medium of internet has evolved with growth in its
applications. The interactive nature of online environments has expanded with Social
Networks. Connecting through Social Networks started as a niche activity, but with time
it is now a phenomenon. The Social Networking Sites are being used in various ways
like forming communities, chatting, blogging, etc. apart from the different institutions
even nowadays are forming communities or groups on different social Networking Sites.
(Kontain, 2009)
Social Networking is the connection of friends or family together which allow you
to communicate easily. With Social Networking Sites the user has the facility to have a
24
long list of friends, Social Networking Sites as web-based services that allow individuals
views and their list of connections and those made by others within the system. The
sites allow users to set up online profiles or homepages for Social Network Online. The
profile page is the user’s own webpage which includes profile information or bio data.

This finding is contradict to the research study of Junco it al. (2011) he pointed
out that some of social networks such as research can be used as a learning tool by
students and these network can increase academic engagement in students. But the
point about the use of social networks as an educational tool is that, overuse of social
networks reduces the level of academic engagement and student’s grades. Therefore,
when using social networks, special attention should be paid to the time management.

In fact, the overused of social networks will result in failure in education and social
relationship, and also leads to ineffective time management. Social networks are not
self-reductive and harmful on its own, but rather it is the way of using it that leads to

However, an unanticipated finding was that there are numerous positive usages
of social networks such as research still employed nowadays. In the future we expect
to expand the positive usages of social networks through research among college
students which can help them to increase their academic performance. But there can be
many negative aspects as well that affect major dimension of our life development. And
it is very important to look at both in order to stay informed and aware of what can
possibly happen.

Recommendations
Based on the findings and the conclusions, the following recommendations are
presented:
better manage their study time in and prevent distractions that can be provided by the
social media. There should be a decrease in the number of time spent by students
when surfing the net. Social Networking Sites should be expanded and new pages
should be created to enhance academic activities and avoid setbacks in the students’
academic performance.
The parents should invest or subscribe to the internet connection to support their
children in using social networking sites since it does not affect their academic
motivating students to learn. They should ensure the use the social media as a tool to
improve the academic performance of students in schools. This can be one of the ways,
