Awareness on Social Media Netiquettes and Online Behavior Among College Students

Abstract

This study examines the awareness of social media netiquette and its impact on the online behavior of college students. A survey method was used to gather information from 342 respondents from different departments. According to the results, there is a high degree of awareness (weighted mean of 4.61 overall) and responsible online behavior (weighted mean of 4.60). According to a Pearson correlation analysis, awareness and behavior have a strong positive relationship (r=0.814, p<0.01), meaning that more responsible online interactions are significantly correlated with higher netiquette awareness. These results highlight how crucial it is to promote netiquette education in order to create safer and more civil online environments.
