ABSTRACT

Smartphone-based Social networking sites (SNS) use changed the ways that individuals are increasingly becoming free and flexible to engage in social media wherever and whenever they like. However, there have been few studies that ask possible adverse effects of the late-night usage of Smartphone-based SNS. The current aims to explore the effects of late-night extreme social, cognitive, and hedonic usages of social media, such as poor sleep quality (PSQ) and cognitive function depletion (CFD). Drawing from stress–strain-outcome and ego-depletion theories, we argue that late-night Smartphone-based SNS usage is a reason for sleep deprivation, thereby leading to the depletion of cognitive function with the inducement of poor academic performance. The study opted for an empirical study (N = 701), based on a dual theoretical model measured by using the adapted scale from well-established and reliable studies. This study determined that Smartphone-based SNS use for personal gratification at night affects PSQ, thereby relating to significant CFD during the day. Consequently, it influences the academic performance of the users. We also discussed the implications for the service provider, users, especially students, and others who are working with the dark side of SNSs use.

摘要

基于智能手机的社交网站 (SNS) 的使用改变了个人越来越自由和灵活地随时随地参与社交媒体的方式。然而，很少有研究询问深夜使用基于智能手机的 SNS 可能产生的不利影响。当前旨在探索社交媒体的深夜极端社交、认知和享乐使用的影响，例如睡眠质量差 (PSQ) 和认知功能耗竭 (CFD)。根据压力-压力结果和自我消耗理论，我们认为深夜使用基于智能手机的 SNS 是导致睡眠不足的原因，从而导致认知功能消耗和学习成绩不佳的诱因。该研究选择了一项实证研究（N = 701)，基于双重理论模型，该模型使用来自完善且可靠的研究的改编量表进行测量。该研究确定，夜间使用基于智能手机的 SNS 来满足个人需求会影响 PSQ，从而与白天的显着 CFD 相关。因此，它会影响用户的学习成绩。我们还讨论了对服务提供商、用户（尤其是学生）和其他正在处理 SNS 使用阴暗面的人的影响。
