Study: Facebook Addiction Has No Effect On Grades

A new study conducted by The University of New Hampshire shows that spending time on Social Media sites does not affect the academic performance of students. Despite the ongoing concern of Facebook addiction, it doesn’t appear to have a negative impact on school performance. These findings contradict previous studies which suggested the exact opposite.

The study, carried out by Chuck Martin, a professor of marketing at Whittemore School of Business and Economics, found out that there was no direct correlation between students’ grades and the amount of time that they spent on sites like Youtube or Facebook.
