Abstract:
The advent of social media platforms has revolutionized the way individuals connect, communicate, and share information. While social media offers numerous benefits, concerns have arisen regarding its potential impact on academic performance among students. This abstract aims to summarize the existing literature and research that explores the relationship between excessive use of social media and academic performance.

Numerous studies have investigated the association between excessive social media use and academic performance, employing various methodologies and sample populations. Findings from these studies have been mixed, with some indicating a negative correlation between excessive social media use and academic performance, while others have found no significant relationship.

The negative impact of excessive social media use on academic performance can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, excessive use of social media platforms can lead to time mismanagement, as individuals spend substantial amounts of time engaging with online content, resulting in reduced study time and decreased academic productivity. Additionally, the addictive nature of social media can lead to attention and concentration problems, making it challenging for students to focus on their academic tasks.

Furthermore, social media platforms often provide a constant source of distractions, such as notifications, messages, and updates, which can disrupt students' study routines and hinder their ability to retain information. Moreover, excessive social media use may contribute to increased psychological distress, including symptoms of anxiety and depression, which can further negatively impact academic performance.

However, it is important to note that not all studies have found a significant relationship between excessive social media use and academic performance. Some researchers argue that social media can be used as a tool for educational purposes, facilitating collaboration, information sharing, and access to academic resources. Additionally, individual differences, such as self-regulation and time management skills, may moderate the relationship between social media use and academic performance.

In conclusion, while the existing literature suggests a potential negative association between excessive use of social media and academic performance, more research is needed to fully understand the complex dynamics at play. Future studies should consider longitudinal designs, larger sample sizes, and the inclusion of various demographic and psychological variables to provide a comprehensive understanding of this relationship. Additionally, interventions and strategies aimed at promoting healthy social media habits and improving academic performance can be explored to mitigate the potential adverse effects of excessive social media use on students' educational outcomes.
