The study was motivated by the increasing concern over social media usage and its potential to negatively affect students'' academic engagement and overall performance. Despite the popularity of social media platforms, there is limited empirical data on how addiction to these platforms impacts cognitive processes, learning outcomes, and academic performance in Nigerian higher education institutions. A descriptive research design was adopted, with a population of 18,191 undergraduate students from the university. Using Taro Yamane''''s formula, a sample size of 99 students was determined with a 10% margin of error. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire that included sections on demographic information, social media usage habits, addiction levels, and self-reported academic performance indicators. The data collection instrument was validated, and its reliability was tested. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and Pearson correlation to test hypotheses and examine relationships between variables. The findings revealed a significant prevalence of social media addiction among students, with negative correlations between addiction and academic performance indicators. The study found that procrastination and poor time management mediated the relationship between social media addiction and decreased academic performance. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the university implement awareness programs to educate students on the responsible use of social media and provide support services to help students manage time effectively. Further research is suggested to explore the psychological and social effects of social media addiction on students in other universities. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Guidance and Counselling project topics and materials you might be interested in»Evaluation of guidance and counselling services in selected secondary schools in Maiduguri, Borno state»The need for guidance and counselling services among Nigeria University students - a case study of some selected universities in Nigeria»An evaluation of guidance and counseling services on the academic performance of biology students in selected secondary schools»The effects of drug abuse on the academic performance of secondary school students»An evaluation into the challenges of nursing mothers on academic performance among students»The influence of social media on academic performance of students in Kaduna state college of education, Gidan Waya»The role of guidance and counseling among traumatized students in some selected schools»Perception of students on the influence of guidance and counselling on academic achievement of secondary school»Influence of drug substance on students learning behaviour in Zarumai Model Secondary School Minna, Niger state»Knowledge and utilization of contraceptive service among female student of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai»Influence of cyber bullying on self image on students of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai»The influence of guidance and counselling services on career choice of secondary school students in Bosso lga, Niger state»Parental influence on the choice of career among senior secondary school students in Bida lga, Niger state»Influence of broken homes on attitude among guidance and counseling student of Federal University Dutsin-ma»Impact of social media addiction on academic performance among undrgraduate students of Ibrahim Badaamasi Babangida University, Lapai Niger state
