Abstract

Social interaction and personal expressions are typical functions offered by social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Besides, social media also become users personal diaries to record and share their daily activities via photos, videos, music, and personal views regarding specific issues. With various activities that could be performed using social media, users tend to spend long hours on social media to get social contact and meet their socialising needs. Through social media, users enjoy establishing the social connection. People depend more on social media since social media can help them connect with others long distances. Thus, social media users who spend excessive time online tend to become addicted to the internet resulting from limited traditional social skills. As a result, users believe they are better individuals while online. The study conducted 340 respondents from Kolej University Poly�Tech MARA Kuala Lumpur students. The responses were recorded using an online survey. The instrument is considered reliable because the reliability value is more than 0.7 for the research instrument. The study was also analysed to test the research hypotheses. The analysis indicated that social anxiety, happiness, and intimacy show a high relationship with the respondents' addiction to social media. The findings supported all the hypotheses suggested in this research.
