Abstract
The present study investigated the effect of use of Social Networking sites on academic achievement among Introverts and Extroverts. The sample of the study was comprised of 150 students of class XI of C.B.S.E. English medium schools of Agra City. Selection of the sample was done by using ‘Simple Random Sampling Method’. The age range of the students was 16-18 years. The Introversion-Extroversion Inventory (2009) developed by Aziz & Gupta was used to identify the type of personality in terms of introversion and extroversion. Grades obtained in the previous class served as the indicator of academic achievement of the students. Results revealed that there was no significant difference between academic achievement of users and non users of Social Networking Sites (SNS). It was also found that even with personality differences among the students there was no significant difference found among extroverts and introvert students using and not using SNS with reference to their academic achievement.
