| dc.description.abstract | The present study was undertaken on a sample of 200 adolescents randomly selected from four Government Senior Secondary Schools of Ludhiana city of Punjab. A SelfStructured Personal Information Sheet and Social Media Usage Questionnaire were used to document demographic profile and assess Social Media Usage among selected adolescents. Social Intelligence Questionnaire by Stellar (2014) and Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire by London Leadership Academy (2016) were utilized to assess Socio-Emotional Intelligence among respondents. Irrespective of gender WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram were found to be the most frequently used social media sites among adolescents. All the respondents predominantly used these sites for the purpose of spending leisure time. Boys were found to be more frequent and active users of social media sites in terms of having more number of functional accounts, duration of usage, varied activities on social media and posts on social media and had significantly more followers on Facebook and Instagram. Girls as compared to their male counterparts were better aware about the privacy issues related to social media usage and refrained from sharing the confidential information but they strongly perceived it as an influencing platform. Irrespective of gender, majority of adolescents reported ‘high or medium level’ of Social as well as Emotional Intelligence. Social media usage was found to be significantly positively correlated with ‘demonstrative empathy’ and ‘tolerance’ dimensions of Social Intelligence among girls as well as ‘empathy’ dimension of Emotional Intelligence and ‘overall’ Emotional Intelligence among boys. Further, non-significant contribution of Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence was ascertained towards Social Media Usage among adolescents. | en_US |
