Mối quan hệ giữa sử dụng Facebook với vấn đề cảm xúc, hành vi của học sinh: Nghiên cứu tại một số trường trung học cơ sở trên địa bàn Hà Nội và Ninh Bình

Tóm tắt

The emergence of social media has brought both opportunities and challenges for adolescents regarding mental health issues. This study investigated the relationship between Facebook use and junior high school students' emotional and behavioral problems. The study was conducted on 462 middle school students from 4 schools in Hanoi and Ninh Binh. The Bergen Facebook Social Networking Addiction Scale and the Youth Self-Report (Achenbach) were used to assess Facebook dependence and emotional and behavioral problems of middle school students. The data analysis results show that students' Facebook usage level is positively correlated with emotional and behavioral issues at a weak level (r=0.211). Regarding genders, Facebook use among female students was more strongly correlated with emotional and behavioral issues than their male peers. The study also finds that Facebook use predicts the level of emotional and behavioral problems among middle school students by 4.4%. Although the study was limited to a specific geographical area, the results emphasize the importance of understanding the impact of social media use on mental health of middle school students and contribute to raising awareness among adolescents about the consequences of excessive social media use.
