Abstract
The main objective of the study was to determine the implications of social media communication exposure of teenagers on family relationship. The study specifically aimed to address the following concerns: (1) the exposure of the respondents to social media communication technologies as to preferred technology used, frequency of use, and place where social media communication is accessed; and (2) the perceived implications of social media communication exposure of teenagers on family relationship in terms of family interaction patterns, benefits of social media communication, and problems encountered on the use of social media communication. Computer-mediated communication theory was used as the basis of the study, and the descriptive method of research was the
methodology used. A total of two hundred ninety five (295) students were chosen through Slovin’s formula as the respondents of the study. Results showed that almost all of the respondents prefer to use Facebook as their means to social media communication at home for almost everyday. They agree with the family interaction patterns that family members use social network site to talk to their loved ones, instead of sitting down to have a conversation; they agree with the benefit that social media communication improves family members’ ability to communicate with each other; and they agree with the problems encountered that family members have difficulty thinking of things to do as a family using social media communication.
Introduction
Nowadays, many people are using social media communication for almost everything. Almost all individuals, even children in young age, are now using mobile phones, email, and social network websites to communicate with others, instead of having face-to-face conversation. They use social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumbler, and Myspace to create and sustain relationships with their loved ones. These social media sites let them create personal profiles while connecting with other users of the sites.
The above circumstances prompted the interest of the researcher to determine the implications of social media communication exposure of teenagers on family relationship. Studying the said phenomenon is necessary to come up with an appropriate action plan
which serves as a tool to address the abovementioned problems.
He decided to focus his study on the implications of social media communication exposure of teenagers on family relationship with emphasis in determining their profile, family interaction patterns, benefits of social media communication, and problems encountered on the use of social media communication. He also included the preferred technology used, the frequency of use, and the place where social media communication is accessed by the respondents.
Body/Main Part
Social media communication exposure of teenagers which is one of the main variables of this study is related to the statements of Papp (2016) which reveals that social networking and virtual worlds have been cited as the most popular and used applications today; Elgan (2015) which states that virtual reality social networking will be hyper-compelling because it will enable people to interact with others not as their true selves, but as the versions of themselves they want to present to the world; Chasombat (2014) which points out that the use of social networking sites and other mobile applications have been growing intensively; Simonpietri (2011) which explains that recent studies
show that older generations are now greatly increasing their social media use to connect with their “digitized” children; and Subrahmanyam and Greenfield (2008) state that, as a group, adolescents are heavy users of newer electronic communication forms such as instant messaging, e-mail, and text messaging, as well as communication-oriented internet sites such as blogs, social networking, and sites for sharing photos and videos.
Conclusion
However, social media has managed to create a huge amount of downfalls that greatly affect the lives of the people. For example, in today’s society, individuals have managed to become completely isolated from the world revolving around them.
Instead of communicating the way they have grown up on how to communicate, they rely heavily on the internet. Besides, this fact is the trust aspect of what social media can cause within a home. At some point, parents start to lose trust with their children based on what they display on social networking sites, or things they reveal about themselves. Also, the children, too, start to lose trust with their parents because they feel that they cannot get any privacy (Macleighob, 2012). The face-to-face conversation between the parents and their children is very rare now to happen. More often, they do their talk through Facebook, Twitter, and other form of social media technologies to which the personal aspect of their family relationship and interpersonal communication diminishes significantly.
