Abstract

The topic of the impact of social Media sites on the family has occupied many researchers and specialists in various humanities, due to the great impact of these sites on the individual, family and society alike, as they have many effects on the psychological, social and cognitive levels. Therefore, this study aimed to demonstrate the effects of these sites on the family in the city of Tikrit and how they can be a cause of the disintegration of these families, in addition to reviewing some of the positives of these sites. This prompted us to conduct a questionnaire that included some students from Tikrit University as representatives of the families in the city who were selected using a simple random sample and the forms were distributed to them. Trying to obtain comprehensive answers to the research questions to determine the negative and positive effects of these sites on the family and how we can avoid their negative effects. The study concluded that there is a relationship between married couples' use of social networking sites and the high divorce rate in society and poor marital relations, which may be attributed to the poor use of these sites. It also concluded that a high percentage of those included in the questionnaire find themselves addicted to browsing social networking sites. This study also showed that there is a relationship between using social Media sites and the decline in students’ academic level.
