Title: | The impact of Facebook and smart phone usage on the leisure activities and college adjustment of students in Serbia | Authors: | Janković B. Nikolić, Milica Vukonjanski J. Terek, Edit |
Issue Date: | 1-Feb-2016 | Journal: | Computers in Human Behavior | Abstract: | © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. This study examined the simultaneous impact of Facebook (FB) and smart phone usage (SP) on the leisure activities (LA) and college adjustment (SACQ) of students in Serbia. The moderating effects of gender on the observed relationships were also examined. An exploratory study of students in Serbia (N = 485) revealed that: 1. Students in Serbia spend a daily average of 2.76 h on Facebook, while the average total daily smart phone use is 8:34 h 2. Facebook and smart phone use has no decisive influence on the allocation of time for leisure activities and college adjustment. 3. Facebook and smart phone use still has a certain positive effect on leisure activities, but this influence can become slightly negative if Facebook and smart phones are used too much. 4. In cases of a lack of time, students are more likely to sacrifice academic work, rather than time for Facebook, smart phones, or leisure activities. 5. The moderating effects of students' gender on the observed relationships are weakly expressed. Finally, Facebook and smart phone use has become a common and integral part of life for the majority of Serbian students, and the time for these activities is integrated into their overall time. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/5863 | ISSN: | 7475632 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.chb.2015.09.022 |
