Abstract

If not properly used, social media can cause some negative effects on college students’ life, such as the decline of academic performance. After reviewing relevant literature, we developed a research model and investigated the association among use intensity, self-esteem, stress and academic performance of college students. Using data from a survey of 378 respondents, we completed an empirical study. From the analysis results, we found that both use intensity and stress are negatively associated with academic performance, while self-esteem mainly indirectly and positively affects academic performance through the mediating effect of use intensity. This study deepens the knowledge and understanding of issues related to social media use, and can provide a reference for educators to implement intervention measures.
