CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 General Statement

2.1.1 Definition of social networking sites (SNSs)

Social networking sites (SNSs) is a term that has its own definition Boyd and Ellison(2007, p 211) reported that social network sites are web-based services that allow users tobuild public or semi-public profiles, share a list of other users, browse and navigate theirconnections, the nature and nomenclature of which varies per site Also, Radi (2017) statedthe following:

Social networking sites as a system of electronic networks that allow the subscriber

to create his site, and then link it through an electronic social system with othermembers who have the same interests and hobbies They are services that are createdand programmed by major companies to gather the largest number of users andfriends and share activities and interests They are also used to make friends and findinterests and activities in other people with whom they share an intellectual or othersubscription (as cited in AlKhudari, 2023, p 226)

Additionally, AlKhudari (2023) observed social networking sites, such as Facebook, X(formerly Twitter), and YouTube are the top three most popular in Jordan for exchanginginformation, instant news, and forming social ties among users of all ages, allowing them toshare files, images, videos, blogs, and messages The author also pointed out universitystudents most often use social media for a variety of reasons, including getting new friends,making study connections, gratifying their desires, making it an essential stage for manycollege students This indicates university students are using social networks and socialmedia almost everyday to serve their needs of studying, chatting, surfing the Internet,researching and entertaining

2.2.2 Impacts of social networking sites on students

Madge et al (2009) and Salaway et al (2008), students often utilize socialnetworking websites to debate academic concerns and connect with lecturers and professors.The research also found instructors who disclose more are more likely to motivate theirstudents, whereas self-disclosures reduce ambiguity, improve motivation, and fosterfavorable views toward the course and the professor (as cited in Khan, p 65)
