Social media addiction from the view of Jordanian youth: a meta content analysis

Abstract

Social Media Addiction is contemplated to be one of the critical issues that Jordanian youth (JY) suffer from. In recent years, some studies discovered that JY's have a big problem related to social media addiction (SMA), which is regarded as the reason for excessive use of social media platforms (SMP). The highlighted issue here is that of the research problem, where it crystallizes in a sharp increase in this phenomenon of "SMA" by JY, where it stressed JY's passion for using SMP's. Furthermore, depending on what had been observed, the massive impact of this problem on youths makes us much more interested in this study to specify the degree of influence of this issue on SMA. This paper contains a massive objective: understanding how SM would contribute to their health and youth lives. The paper discussed using a considerable percentage on SMP's by JY. It has been the focal point for discussion among the specialist and educators. This paper discussed the SMA issues in academic and education literature, from the point of view, from SMP's from the JY's lives. The paper concludes that no effort has been made for JY to look into SMA, which has many consequences for society.
