Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 14, Issue 7
Abstract
Daily usage of various social media platforms for most people especially for generation Z has become a routine. As generation Z are considered as digital natives, the possible disruption of those social media sites to their psychosocial well-being is uncertain. The study sought to determine the relationship of social media engagement to the psychosocial well-being of generation Z in Cortes, Bohol. A quantitative methodology with a descriptive design was utilized in the research with a total of 364 randomly selected respondents. Four hypotheses were treated using the Chi- square, Spearman rho, Friedman Test, and Kruskal Wallis Test. The study result showed that Generation Z of Cortes, Bohol were moderately engaged to social media. Out of four dimensions, entertainment got the highest rating while socialization got the lowest. While generation Z obtained a very high psychosocial well-being. Subjective well-being topped among the dimensions while psychological well-being was the least rated. There is a significant degree of correlation between the social media engagement and psychosocial well-being of the generation Z. It implies that social media engagement and psychosocial well-being are significantly correlated. It means that when the generation Z increasingly engaged themselves to social media for academics, socialization, entertainment and informativeness, the likely they would have a very high psychosocial well-being.
