Journal Title: Qlantic Journal of Social Sciences - QJSS - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
This quantitative study investigates the influence of WhatsApp usage on interpersonal communication skills and interpersonal relationships among university students. Utilizing a self-administered questionnaire, 202 valid responses were collected to explore the correlation between WhatsApp use and these two variables. Our findings indicate a significant association between the frequency of WhatsApp usage and interpersonal communication skills and interpersonal relationships among the participating university students. This research contributes valuable insights into the contemporary dynamics of communication technology and its impact on the social fabric within educational settings. This can empower students to navigate the digital communication landscape with awareness and skill. Future research should adopt an interdisciplinary approach to study the cultural and psychological aspects of WhatsApp usage.
