Abstract

Facebook is the most prominent social media platforms offering various attractive and captivated features. It is common to observe its users become addicted and incessantly spend an excessive amount of their time on this site. Like other addictions, Facebook addiction also has negative consequences on daily lives of its users and it often affects their face-to-face communication. This study aims to investigate the influence of Facebook addiction towards self-disclosure as the key determiner in the interpersonal communication. It used a descriptive quantitative method using a cross-sectional survey of 122 university students selected by quota sampling technique. The data were analyzed with independent sample t-test using the SPSS version 22 software to examine the difference of self-disclosure between high and low Facebook addicted groups. Findings reveal that the users with high level of Facebook addictions are more likely to have low self-disclosure than those with the low level of Facebook addictions.
