and collaboration, but it also provides supportive leisure and

 The key problem lies in the determining whether using social

personality development.

 The aim of this study is to explore The Relationship

Between Using Social Media to the Personality Development

of the Grade 12 HUMSS Students in Naguilian National High

School.

various social media platforms on the
personality development of these students?

 Theoretical Framework
 Previous studies (e.g., Allen et al., 2014; Valkenburg & Peter, 2011; Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010)
classified opportunities and challenges of online social media use among adolescents. For
example, the early approach prominent during the 1990s stated that new technologies would
decrease adolescents’ social connectedness and wellbeing. However, due to media use changes
in recent years (e.g. increase in the popularity of media among users in different age ranges,
development of new online communication platforms and apps), the negative effects of
communication technologies on social communication and wellbeing no longer exist in the
same ways (Valkenburg & Peter, 2009). Recent studies employed quantitative modeling designs
(e.g. SEM, path analysis) to examine integrative models on how social media has changed the
social context of adolescents’ development (Valkenburg & Peter, 2008; Jackson et al., 2010;
Davis, 2013; Vanderbosch & Eggermont, 2016). These studies provide understandings of the
application of social media technologies and their benefits and risks for adolescents’
psychosocial development (Valkenburg & Peter, 2011).
