CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the study

Almost all people around the world have known the social media. Although social media or the SNS

are one of the most used communication methods in today’s world, we can also use this to site a specific

information that we need which is pretty useful. The findings highlights the Facebook which is used for

communication, sharing personal status, news & announcements, and entertainments. In addition, if we

consider this as the case for the teenagers nowadays which will focus specifically on students, their profile

photo is alone and students we’re aware that swearing is considered a form of misconduct, which is a good

sign. The study also indicate that students we’re aware of protecting their social identity as their Facebook

shares are not public at all. Furthermore, they respect privacy as they do not use their friend’s Facebook

account. This study highlights that the students reflect their mood on social media which creates a chance for

consultancy. Good Facebook comments increases students confidence. Students know how to control their

privacy.

By using the social media, we can communicate and share our lives to all the people around the

globe. The most common social site that we can use to communicate is definitely the Facebook. Facebook

will work at any use of technological devices. It has an application which you can easily download, there’s

also a website of it and you can just add a dot com (.com) to open the web. Also, you can open the app and

do many tasks anywhere you want. You can also open it when you’re not using a Wi-Fi or internet

connection cause you can open when you’re just using a mobile/cellular data on your phone. We all admit it

that Facebook is often at the center of our days. We check it on our phones at home. We’re all guilty here
 2

that we’re always excited to check our account after a few hours we opened it to check who commented,

reacted, and share our photos. We’re too excited to reply at them and have a good conversation together.

In addition for the Facebook, where user can finally share photographs, personal news, celebrity

issues, post links or other interesting content of the web, live chats, video chats and even mostly on days, it

can also use as the one tool for communication. Teachers can post a reminders for their students, give

assignments, and students can also post their work of their tasks in here easily by uploading a certain

documents (docs., pdf., ppt., etc.). This will be an easy way to do so. But also, in Facebook which can easily

shared only among the selected group, friends or family or even a single person, research has shown that

people, mostly students who use this frequently have increased levels of negative emotions such as posting a

double meaning jokes, funny memes just to find pleasure and entertainment. Pey did a certain reckless thing,

a teenager might say, “Everyone else was doing it and I don’t want to be left out”. The research has shown

that the average Facebook account has over 300 friends attached to the account. In a few people in a social

circle can influence the behavior of a person, imagine what it feels like to have over 300 people pressuring

you to keep up with the crowds. This is an example of the bandwagon effect, which can people do or believe

something simply based on the number of other people who appear to do or something. But something even

darker can cone from the bandwagon effect. Online public shaming, online bullying which is happening right

now, they make fun of someone mostly known people like celebrity, political person, vloggers, and many

more, make memes, and comes by worst threats has been made by someone. This has shown to be highly

correlated not only with increased feelings of isolation but even higher rates of psychological mood disorders

like anxiety and depression for some students who experienced it.

But there’s a positive relationship between confidence, social media participation and social media related

behaviors will also assed with regard in using Facebook. Observing the behaviors of high school student. The

research also indicates that students we’re aware of protecting their social identity as their Facebook shares
 3

are not public. Students reflect their mood on social media in which it creates a chance for consultancy.

Social networking sites makes it appear that large numbers of people believe in certain ideas because we

assume that if a person shares a thought correspond on social media, they implicitly giving their support to

that idea. Which so much elaborate going on in the vast social media crowd. It is not surprising that feelings

of isolation came out of prolonged usage of this form of interaction. Although social media is sought to be a

huge distraction for high school students, it also helps their learning. Social media opens a whole new

technological world for students, however students choose to adapt to the new world is the ultimate decider

of their academic success.

B. Statement of the Problem

The research will mainly focus on the effects of using Facebook to the behavior shown of the junior

high school students. And also, the research will focuses from the following questions.

1. What are the major effects of uncontrollable usage of Facebook towards the behavior of junior

high school students?

2. What are the negative effects of this on their psychological mood and status?

3. How this case affect their personality and on how they used to communicate with the others?

C. Theoretical Support

This chapter discusses the choices regarding the theoretical framework used to address the

research questions. First several frameworks are reviewed in terms of their respond and adequacy for

the research questions. Namely the support coming from Y.C.J Wu, Emad Abu-Shanab, and Acevedo

M., who supoorts the concept and some theories of the study.
 4

One study by Wu, Y. C. J., et al. (October 2015). Users tend to choose profile pictures that make

them look attractive.Profile picture has an influence on their choice of profile picture.Facebook profile

picture reflects user’s personality.

Facebook has been gaining popularity ever since it was first introduced and offers the user the chance

for self-presentation. This study examines the motivations behind the choice of a profile picture and the

image of the user that it gives out. The research was conducted in the form of an on-site visual study

evaluating the profile pictures of Facebook’s users.

According to emad Abu-Shanab (April 2015) Social networks are becoming an integral part of

people's lives. Students are spending much time on social media and are considered the largest category that

uses such application. This study tries to explore the influence of social media use, and especially Facebook,

on high school students' performance. The study used the GPA of students in four courses and their responses

regarding the use of social media. Statistical analysis is used to infer this relationship and its implications.

Results indicated a support of this study aim and the relationship between the different dimensions of

Facebook influence on students with respect to the time spent on the Internet and Facebook specifically.

Conclusions and future work are stated at the end.

In a study of M. Acevedo (2017), Prior research has shown that the use of social media may detract

from face-to-face relationships, reduce investment in meaningful activities, increase sedentary behavior by

encouraging more screen time, lead to internet addiction, and erode self-esteem through unfavorable social

comparison. Self-comparison can be a strong influence on human behavior, and because people tend to

display the most positive aspects of their lives on social media, it is possible for an individual to believe that

their own life compares negatively to what they see presented by others. But some skeptics have wondered if

perhaps people with lower well-being are more likely to use social media, rather than social media causing
 5

lower well-being. Moreover, other studies have found that social media use has a positive impact on

well-being through increased social support and reinforcement of real world relationships.

D. Significance of the Study

The research of “Effect of Using Facebook Towards the Behaviorsof Students” is to know what are the

behaviors of a students when they using Facebook. There’s a positive and negative relationship

between confidence on social media participation and social media related behaviors assed with

regard on using Facebook. By observing the behaviors of a high school student. The research also

indicates that students we’re aware of protecting their social identity as their Facebook are not public.

E. Scope and Limitation

The respondents of the researcher on chosenjunior and senior high school students in Francisco E Barzaga

Integrated High School are the age of thirteen to nineteen years old (13-19)to observe the behavior of

Junior high school students, the effects of using Facebook and to know the high school students using

the Facebook (app) properly.

CHAPTER TWO

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter present the related literature and other citations from the related tags of the study. This

will also present the synthesis and also to compound the both ideas, brief history and theories of the study

that will be also included on the whole study. This might also include the framework to fully understand the

overall research done by the researchers.

Earlier, this research talks about the whole main highlights and purpose of the study. As mentioned

the general case of the study which talks about the people who uses the social media and have their own

social media account. The research also mentioned about the definition of the social media, the most used

social networking site or app today which is the Facebook we’re you can easily use. On how you can use the

Facebook and on how this affects the psychological mood of a person, and how this can help students on

their studies. At the review of literature, the study can go more deep from where it started, to know the

background and where the case began.

and future work are stated at the end.

In addition, Lee, Ahn, and Kim (2014) stated that extroverts use Facebook (status/photo share and using like

button) more often than in-troverts. According to Grieve and Kemp (2015), extraversion and openness are

related in the context of Facebook connectedness and Marshall et al. (2015) mentioned that there are more

Facebook shares of social activities amongst extroverts.

In a study of M. Acevedo (2017) Prior research has shown that the use of social media may detract from

face-to-face relationships, reduce investment in meaningful activities, increase sedentary behavior by

CHAPTER THREE

METHODOLOGY

Research Method

The study of this to know the effects of Facebook towards the behavior of the selected junior high

school students of Francisco E. Barzaga Integrated high school. This study is only applicable to grades 7

to10. This research will use qualitative research. According to several prominent qualitative scholars

(Creswell 2002; Pope & Mays 1995; Denzin & Lincoln, 1994) Qualitative Research is intended to deeply

explore, understand and interpret social phenomena within its natural setting. In addition, the qualitative

research may consider as a non-numerical research which may use only such open-ended questions and

interviews.

Data Collection Method and Tools

 9

In total, the current research about the effects of Facebook towards the behavior of the selected junior

high school is to interview and structured questionnaires. Interviews can be defined as a qualitative research

technique which involves “conducting intensive individual interviews with a small number of respondents to

explore their perspectives on a particular idea, program or situation.”Boyce, C. & Neale, P. (2006)

“Conducting in-depth Interviews: A Guide for Designing and Conducting In-Depth Interkviews”–

1917)Closed or Structured Questionnaires are a quantitative method of research method. It includes the low

level of involvement of the researcher and high number of respondents (the individuals who answer the

questions).

Participants

The researcher chose 20 participants for the interview. 3 questions as interview will be conducted per

participants and 3 interviews were collected from each selected junior high school students of Francisco E.

Barzaga Integrated High School.

The participants may share their own ideas, perspective and personal experience in relation of using the

social media particularly the Facebook depending on the interview questionnaires given by the researcher.

Participant Characteristics

The interview procedures will be conducted from random male and female who are in the grade level

of 7 to 10 and with ages of 13 to 17 years old. The participants will be include who are those in “middle

class”, and in terms of gender identity the researcher chose not only the general male and female but with

participation of members of the LGBT (such gays, lesbians, bisexual) or even asexual.

Sample Selective

In order to cover more abstract aspects of the research, the author chose as a complementary method

structured interviews consisting of several questions, which were distributed among representatives of each
 10

participant group. Purposive sampling in qualitative circles is also referred to as “non-probability” sampling.

It is called this due to the researcher applying their own criteria when defining their sample, so in layman

terms the researcher selects their own individuals as part of their study. For a more academic definition

Ritchie et al., (2003) defines this sampling approach as a strategy where “Members of a sample are chosen

with a purpose to represent a location or type in relation to the criterion” .

Research Procedure

The researchers will be going room to room of the selective junior high students and ask for

permission to give only 3 item questions as a guide interview. The main question that will give are questions

of how much time do they spend on using Facebook or social media, How much do they spend on studying at

home, How much time do they spend time with there family, What are their favorite hangout on Facebook as

not only the rule of communicating with other, The time they spend on sleeping and the overall effect of

overusing the Facebook in their mental and behavioral experiences and on how this affect their life status.

This may take only in a 5-7 minutes long and the researchers will having a face-to-face interviews in

accordance of the research methods that be using.
