Abstract
This study examines the effects of spending time on social networking among day scholars and hostellers in Tamil Nadu. Social networking encompasses contacts among friends and relatives. There are thirty hostellers and thirty day scholars among the sixty college students in the sample. Twelve items on family and friend concerns comprised the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS), developed by Lubben in 1988 and updated in 2002, which was used to identify social networks. A random sample technique was used to obtain the data, and the Independent Samples T-test was used to analyse the results. According to the study, there might not be any distinction between day scholars and hostellers when it comes to interacting with friends and family. It is predicted that social networking will increase self-esteem and reduce academic stress and anxiety. Additional outcomes we can discuss in this paper.
