    Abstract

    Social media usage plays an important role in university students’ academic performances. Previous researchers commented that the more time students spent on social media, the more addictive they tend to be. Despite social media addiction being the main culprit of students’ academic performance, researchers also discovered that social media addiction is capable of the students’ mental health and well-being. This research addressed the effect of university students’ time spent on social media and their academic performance. To further extend this research, we also looked into correlation between time spent on social media and the students’ academic performance to identify the relationship between. This research collected data through surveys and the data collected were analyzed through SPSS for further study. From this, the current study indicated an assumption that there was a significant relationship between time spent on social media and university students’ academic performance.
