Facebook Meta: Its Influence to the Mental Health of Grade
12 ICT Panganiban in Balayan Senior High School
CHAPTER I
RESEARCH PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Social media usage has risen dramatically, changing the way people
relate, communicate, and live. It offers a platform for its users to share
information and spread awareness regarding various issues including
mental health problems.
Additionally, in some previous studies it was found that people
suffering from mental health issues benefited from social media. However,
the use of social media is also significantly associated with increased
depression, mood and anxiety disorders in adolescents.
Meanwhile, Facebook is the most often used social networking site
worldwide with almost 3 billion users. Many of these users engage in
intense Facebook use by spending a lot of time on Facebook, having a
substantial number of friends on Facebook, and feeling emotionally
connected to the Facebook. Nonetheless, as Facebook Meta has grown in
popularity, researchers have begun expressing concern about its impact on

3
Mental Health. Most broadly a sizeable increase in the number of students
who reported mental distress at some time in the preceding year.
With this background, this study was taken up to contribute to the
scarce literature about the influence social media has on the mental well-
being of students. Furthermore, this study focuses on determining the
influence of Facebook Meta to the mental health of Grade 12 ICT
Panganiban students in Balayan Senior High School, and it intends to give
the students proper knowledge on how to avoid the Facebook drawbacks in
mental health.

The study used the (Input-Process-Output) IPO model by Tyler to
strengthen the understanding about the influences of Facebook Meta to the
mental health of the students.
The research paradigm of the study is shown in Figure 1. The first
box contained the input variables such as the positive and negative impacts
of Facebook Meta in the mental health of students, the reason why students
need to control their Facebook Meta usage, and the ways to avoid the
negative influences of Facebook meta to the mental health of the students,
Then an arrow is drawn going to the second box which is called the
process box. It pertained on how data were gathered through interview and
interpretation of data. From the second box, an arrow is down to the output
box which contained the main objective of the study: to present the findings
through the use of Facebook Meta page.
III. Statement of the Problem
The study aims to determine the Impact of Facebook meta to the
mental health of Grade 12 ICT Panganiban students in Balayan Senior High
School.

Specifically, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the findings and
provide answer to the following questions:
1. What are the positive influences of Facebook Meta in mental health
of the students?
2. What are the negative influences of Facebook Meta in Mental health
of the students?
3. Why is their need for the students to control themselves in using
Facebook meta?
4. How can the students avoid the Impact of Facebook meta in the
Mental health of the students?
IV. Hypothesis
This researched was conducted on alternative hypothesis that

Facebook meta has significant influence on the Mental health of the
students.
V. Significance of the study
The study may be used to help the following:
Students. This may help the students to develop a more nuanced

understanding of the Facebook meta and the influences it may have on
themselves and others
6
Teachers. This study may be a great help to the teachers because it may
be used as an effective reference for understanding their student’s
behavior.
Parents. Understanding the potential influences of social media on their

child’s mental health may enable them to provide better guidance on the
use social media.
Researchers. This study may help the researchers understand the

influences of Facebook Meta on the Mental health of students and may
enable them to perform their tasks in a more comprehensive way.
Future Researchers. This study will give encouragement to conduct new

research and deepen this study to acquire information about mental health
awareness when using Facebook Meta.
Scope and limitations
This research sought to know the influences of Facebook Meta to

the mental health of the students of Grade 12 ICT Panganiban in
Balayan Senior High School
In order to bring the objectives of the study, the researchers used
the phenomenological study under qualitative research. The
respondents of the study were chosen and identified through the use
of a non-probability sampling technique. Additionally, the study was
delimited to 10 students of G12 ICT Panganiban.
However, the findings of the study were primarily enclosed by the
answers given by the respondents who were available at the conduct
of the study. Thus, anything which was not specified in the research is
not included and is out of the researchers' knowledge.

Review of Related Literature
Research literature
This chapter presents the review of related literature and studies
after thorough and in-depth search done by the researchers.
I. Influences of Facebook meta in the Mental health of the students
In recent years there have been an abundance of studies conducted
by professionals that focus on social media usage and mental health.
Additionally, a number of researchers have explored possible connections
between the use of Facebook as well as other social networking sites and
Mental health.
According to Mentalhelp.net (2023), Facebook and other social media
platforms can be beneficial for person with social anxiety because they
provide them the chance to build social contacts online without the stress
that real-world encounters entail. It was supported by Supermind platforms,

8
Inc, (2022), when they stated that Facebook connectivity is linked to
reduced levels of anxiety and despair and higher levels of life satisfaction.
Moreover, many support groups for students going through difficult
times may be found on Facebook. These group are especially helpful for
those who do not live in an area where meetings are scheduled or who are
more likely to use an online platform owing to privacy concerns,
Mentalhelp.com (n.d).
Furthermore, based in the investigation of Lethart (2010), extraverted
people are highly sociable, rewards-driven, and reward-seeking, and
Facebook offers plenty of chances for active self-presentation and social
interaction. It has been demonstrated that extraverted people use social
networking sites to meet their needs for self-presentation, mood
enhancement, maximizing positive affect, and social connection and
communication.
Likewise, Facebook meta may offer new ways for students to engage
in positive and meaningful social interactions, such as through virtual
communities or shared experiences. This could help to boost mood and
increase feelings of social connectedness.

9
It is important to note, however, that social media use can also have
negative effects on mental health, such as increased feelings of anxiety or
depression.
According to BMC Psychology (2022), many have been worried that
heavy Facebook may have a harmful influence on mental health and even
be a factor in the current rise in depression rates seen in society. A large
number of studies have been conducted to examine whether this concern is
justified.
Furthermore, based in the investigation of Verduyn (2022), the ability
to scroll indefinitely on Facebook may cause feeling of flow and warped
perceptions of time. Being totally absorbed in an activity is referred to as the
experience of flow, and it has been demonstrated that this state is linked to
problematic use of social networking sites.
Thus, Facebook use foretells losses in subjective well-being,
including how pleased people are with their lives and how they feel in the
moment.
II. Ways to avoid the negative influences of Facebook Meta in the
Mental health of the students

10
People became susceptible to the negative impacts of social media;
thus, it could make them expect the worst in every situation. However, they
can prevent some of the negative effects of social media and learn to
position their social media in a way that serves them positively.
According to Everydaypower.com (2022), a study found that users are
more likely to experience a sense of community and inclusion on social
media when they are actively posting, commenting, enjoying, sharing
material, photographs, status update, and comments can be seen in at least
two different ways.
Additionally, encouraging students to limit their use of social media
and set specific times for using Facebook meta may lessen the adversities
that could be experienced in using the app. This can help reduce the
amount of time spent scrolling through feeds, which can be a major source
of stress and anxiety.
In addition, as students interact with others in person instead of
relying solely on social media for socialization, building stronger
relationships and reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation may foster.
Students need to prioritize self-care activities like exercise, meditation, and

11
spending time in nature. These activities can help reduce stress and anxiety
and improve overall mental health. (insert citation)
III. Importance of Controlling Facebook Meta Usage
According to Claudia Marino, Gianluca Gini, (2018), A growing body
of research has analyzed the potential risks of problematic Facebook use
for mental health and well-being. Furthermore, there are several reasons
why the usage of Facebook meta should be controlled by students
Facebook meta collects a significant amount of personal data from its
users, including their browsing history, location, and personal information.
By controlling Facebook usage, students can ensure that their personal
information is not being collected or shared without their consent.
Social media can be a major distraction for students, especially when
they are trying to focus on their studies; hence, by controlling their usage,
students can limit the amount of time they spend on social media and avoid
the distractions that come with it.
Overall, by responsibly using Facebook meta, students can protect
their privacy, avoid distractions, prevent cyberbullying, and maintain their
academic integrity and mental health condition.

12
Synthesis
Facebook meta has become popular to the students because of its
various useful features.
According to Mark Zuckerg (2021), Facebook meta can help students
connect with others and form supportive communities, which can be
beneficial for mental health as it provides students with a platform to
connect with friends, family, and others.
However, Walsh (2022) has emphasized that a sizable increase in
the number of students who reported mental distress at some time in the
preceding year has something to do with the excessive usage of social
media application. As a support to Walsh claim, Wiley Online Library (2022)
stated that excessive social media users demonstrate a psychological
imbalance between the impulsive and reflective systems in their minds.
The findings indicated that social networking sites, such as Facebook,
can enable students to cross boundaries and create spaces of collaborative
learning. These can also give learners a platform to construct a public and
personal environment, where they can communicate, interact, and expand
their network.
