A study conducted by Afifa Fida et al. (2018).

The social networking is the high priority

media sites in the present era. Among the social networking media sites, Facebook has gained a

high popularity in youth. Therefore, the aim of the study is to investigate the relationship

between Facebook addiction and depression of the students and to identify the gender differences

in the depression due to Facebook addiction. The sample consists of 200 students from different

colleges and universities in Peshawar selected through purposive sampling. Bergen Facebook

Addiction Scale (BFAS) and Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) were used for data

collection. The results showed that level of depression is high among Facebook addicts than in

normal Facebook users. Analysis showed a significant positive correlation between Facebook

addiction and depression among students but a non-significant gender difference in the

depression level of addicts was indicated.

A study conducted by Soron, Tanjir & Tarafder, Monowar. (2015) The study explored the

pattern of Facebook use in Bangladesh and its relation with demographic factors. They screened

1546 people from 11 different sites to find out those who were using Facebook for one year or

more. Respondents with a diagnosed mental illness were excluded from the study. A total 341

people met the selection criteria. Participants completed an anonymous self-applied

questionnaire. We used Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 21 for data analysis.

The study revealed Facebook used rate was highest among the engineers and lowest among the

garments workers. About 25% of the respondents had multiple Facebook accounts. Number of

Facebook account was related to age, marital status and gender. Respondent having multiple

Facebook accounts had more Facebook friends. Unmarried young male were more interested in

creating multiple Facebook accounts. The first log in the Facebook in a day was related to gender
and marital status. About 15% respondents admitted they failed to meet their responsibility due

to excessive Facebook use and it was more common among the younger female students. In the

study, 18% respondents considered themselves Facebook addict. The motivation and activities in

Facebook varied among different demographic characteristics. Married people used Facebook

more to communicate with friends, upload photos and for news while unmarried people used to

play online games and to exchange academic information. Female were more concerned about

the privacy setting. This study revealed few alarming patterns of Facebook in Bangladesh. Future

researcher may explore the Facebook use related problems like Facebook addiction in

developing countries in a large scale

This study explored relationships of social media on communication within the family. Findings

A study conducted by Procentese, F., Gatti, F., & Di Napoli, I. (2019). The study aims at

deepening the role that parents’ perceptions about social media effects on family systems can

exert within their family functioning, specifically referring to the relationship between collective

family efficacy and open communications within family systems with adolescents. A

questionnaire to detect the openness of family communications, the collective family efficacy

and the perceptions about the impacts of social media on family systems was administered to 227

Italian parents who had one or more teenage children, and who use Facebook and WhatsApp to

communicate with them. From the results, these perceptions emerge as a mediator in the

relationship between the collective family efficacy and the openness of communications,

suggesting that it is not only the actual impact of social media on family systems that matters but

also parents’ perceptions about it and how much they feel able to manage their and their
children’s social media use without damaging their family relationships. Thus, the need to foster

parents’ positive perceptions about social media’s potential impact on their family relationships

emerges. A strategy could be the promotion of knowledge on how to functionally use social

media.

A study conducted by Putri, Ade Ayu Harisdiane, and Hani Khairunnisa. (2018). The

purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between family functioning and social

media addiction behavior in adolescents. Measurements were made for 100 adolescents, with

data collection techniques using a scale of family functioning and social media addiction

behavior. The analysis technique uses SPSS version 21 with correlation test. The results of the

study showed that there was a relationship between family function and social media addiction

behavior in adolescents (r = .03 p< .05).

According to the study conducted by Hu, Xiaomeng, et al. (2017). The cstudy attempts to

reconcile these seemingly mixed and inconsistent findings by unpacking the specific effects of

Facebooking on users’ online–offline social relationship satisfaction and psychological well-

being. Using structural equation modeling, pathways were examined between Facebook

intensity, online–offline social relationship satisfaction, perceived social support, social

interaction anxiety, and psychological well-being. Personality differences on each of those paths

were also assessed. Employing a sample of 342 American university students, results indicated

that intensive Facebooking was positively associated with users’ psychological well-being

through online social relationship satisfaction, and simultaneously negatively linked to users’

psychological well-being through offline social relationship satisfaction. Multiple group analyses

revealed that the linkage between perceived social support and psychological well-being was
stronger for introverts than for extraverts. Our findings indicate that the benefits or detriments of

Facebooking are contingent upon both personality characteristics and online–o ffline social

contexts.

A study conducted by Junco, Reynol. (2012). The paper fills a gap in the literature by

using a large sample (N = 1839) of college students to examine the relationship among multiple

measures of frequency of Facebook use, participation in Facebook activities, and time spent

preparing for class and actual overall GPA. Hierarchical (blocked) linear regression

analyses revealed that time spent on Facebook was strongly and significantly negatively related

to overall GPA, while only weakly related to time spent preparing for class. Furthermore, using

Facebook for collecting and sharing information was positively predictive of the outcome

variables while using Facebook for socializing was negatively predictive.
