Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 20, Issue 7
Abstract
In today’s digital age, the internet has become integral in the lives of individuals. However, while it offers numerous benefits, it is undeniable that compulsive internet utilization may have potential challenges, especially for students and their academic performance. This research identified and measured the levels of compulsive internet use and academic performance among senior high school students of Lipa City. The researchers used a quantitative descriptive correlational design to describe research variables and their relationship. A purposive sample method was used to select the 55 students from one institution in Lipa City. The Compulsive Internet Use Scale was used to measure the compulsive internet use of students while the academic performance was based on the grade point average obtained from the senior high school department. The present study found that the respondents have moderate compulsive internet use and satisfactory academic performance. A negative relationship was also found between the variables (r=-.295), indicating that higher levels of compulsive internet use among respondents corresponded to lower academic performance. Likewise, statistical analysis indicated that the relationship between the two variables was significant (p=.029). Therefore, the present study recommends that the parents, teachers, and the institution’s administration should collaborate to formulate and spearhead an intervention program to reduce compulsive internet use.
