impact of social media use on family relationships among Multan's youth

Abstract

The globe is becoming a global community thanks to social media. Although social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatSapp now provide a variety of services, their growing popularity has damaged family ties and sibling relationships. This study looked at the effects of rising social media use on young people's family relationships. Data was gathered via Google Forms from 201 respondents, who were chosen through convenient selection and ranged in age from 18 to 30, using a quantitative technique that included percentages and inferential values described as well. SPSS software was used for the analysis, which included chi-square tests, correlations, and percentages. The majority of respondents, the researcher discovered, concurred that the relationship between the youth of Multan and their families is being negatively impacted by excessive use of social media. Individuals spend more time on social media than with their loved ones. They were able to forge closer bonds on social media than they did with their loved ones. The study discovered that social media use was causing a physical and emotional gap between young people and their families. The researcher also offered some recommendations for reducing or resolving these social problems.
