To do: Make a submission
This unit’s Learning Journal focuses on creating a results section for your research paper. This
section will include 2-3 paragraphs on your analysis of your own results from the research
method you chose last week. These paragraphs will be based upon your own analysis and
synthesis of those sources. You will want to include a brief explanation of what method you
chose and why (Tip: You can use the information from last week for this part). Finally, you will
determine what value your results are to your own study. Keep in mind that reliability and
validity are not the same thing.
Remember: Not every experiment works the way you want—it is okay to admit that you made
errors as long as you say what happened to cause the errors.
Your instructor will use the following rubric to grade your Learning Journal:
Aspect 1: Did the student’s results match the method used?
Aspect 2: How well did the student exhibit the results?
Aspect 3: Are the results something the student can use in his or her research paper as a means of
exploring the thesis?
Aspect 4: Is this a work of original thought? Has the student grasped the direction the research
should take in order to explore the thesis?
Aspect 5: How free of spelling and grammar issues is the results section? Are there repeating
errors that can be pointed out?
What I did last week:
In my written assignment, I specified that I would use the quantitative interaction analysis
approach, and I focused on the following subjects:
"Findings from a Large National Survey: The Relationship Between Addictive Use of Social
Media, Narcissism, and Self-Esteem."
"Social media use and young people's mental health and wellbeing"
A study titled "Measurement Invariance of Social Media Use in Younger and Older Adults and
Links to Socioemotional Health"
What method I used:

The raison d'être of quantitative research is to achieve enhanced erudition and comprehension of
the societal realm. Scholars employ quantitative methodologies to observe phenomena or
occurrences that impact individuals. The methodology of quantitative research yields empirical
data that is devoid of subjective bias, and can be effectively conveyed through numerical and
statistical analysis.
What I did I do:

I gave students 15 questions to choose from for last week's homework, with the options being
"strongly disagree," "disagree," "neutral," "agree," or "strongly agree."
To whom did I ask:

My circle of friends, family members, and acquaintances, as well as their family members and
relatives, who are still enrolled in high school or college, as well as persons who are employed,
were the people I questioned. What most people say is what I'm going to stress.
Below are the questions and its results:

a. Does Facebook have a long-lasting effect on how individuals use their free time outside
of class? was my initial query. and for which over 60% of those I surveyed said that they
"disagree."
b. I asked, "Have they ever missed a deadline, despite how much time they spend on
Facebook every day?" as my second inquiry. Eighty percent of them responded
immediately with "strongly agree."
c. The next query I posed was, "One way that this platform is used to help students with
their academic work is by academics creating study groups and pages on Facebook."
"Disagree" was selected by 70% of the group.
d. Ninety percent of the students who responded to my fourth question, "Can students
improve their academic performance by using Facebook?" picked "neutral."
e. The sixth query I posed was, "Facebook is a huge help to me in getting things done
because it allows me to communicate with other students at my school." 70% opted for
"neutral."
f. Twitter is a tool that I frequently use, according to the sixth question that was posed. 90%
selected "disagree."
g. I asked, "Would it hurt my grades if I spent too much time on Twitter?" as the eighth
question. This received 80% of the vote with "strongly agree."
h. The seventh query I posed was, "Students who are struggling academically may benefit
from their peers sharing educational information on Twitter." This received a unanimous
"strongly disagree" response.
i. I asked, "Should I share my thoughts and feelings with you via Twitter instead?" as the
tenth question. This received a unanimous "strongly disagree" response.
j. What are the repercussions if I don't join Twitter? was the ninth query I posed. of which
"disagree" was selected by 70% of respondents.
k. I asked, "What kinds of effects do the interactions that students have on social media
have on how they verbalize and write their thoughts?" as the eleventh question. 80
percent of respondents selected "neutral" as their answer.
l. "How helpful may the use of social media be as a resource for education completed
online?" was the twelfth question posed. of which "disagree" was selected by 60% of
respondents.
m. Do you think that the actions of students on social media platforms reflect poorly on the
sites themselves? was my twelfth query. 60 percent of respondents indicated their
agreement by selecting "agree."
n. One of the many advantages of using social networking sites is the enhancement it makes
to our capacity to interact with our friends, which was the topic of my fourteenth
question. 80 percent of respondents indicated their agreement by selecting "agree."
o. I asked, "Does the use of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and others put
students into different categories?" as the sixteenth and last question. This was selected
by 90% of respondents as "disagree."
The Analysis of the effect of social media on student and the likes:
As far as my analysis goes, youth that use social media uncontrollably get hooked, which can
harm their mental and physical health. When students become too addicted to social media, they
lose concentration on learning. According to several studies, kids spend too much time on social
media and neglect their schoolwork.
As observed, students' usage of social media should be modest and focused on good outcomes,
but this is not the case. Students and young people get obsessed with social media and use it
inappropriately. Students waste a lot of time staring at computer displays or mobile phones
throughout day and night. Social media addiction makes pupils forget everything else. Social
media disrupts students' mental health and makes them lose concentration in school. Since its
sedentary, pupils get lazy. Students often sacrifice sleep and develop severe sleeping difficulties.
Conclusion:
It's important for people who use social media to realize the positive effects improved usage may
have on themselves and others. No one should let what they see or hear on social media
negatively affect their behavior or that of people around them. Consciousness is a cornerstone
idea that significantly contributes to how individuals classify and label their actions on social
media.
