Abstract
The current study was conducted on 391 young Egyptian respondents from different regions in Egypt. This study investigates the level of Egyptian youths’ dependence on social media to obtain information about the 2020 US presidential elections and the effects of social media use applying the Uses and Dependency Model developed by Rubin & Windahl 1986. The results indicated that the dependency on social media, specifically Facebook, had clear cognitive, emotional and behavioral effects toward the 2020 US presidential election. Gender, type of education, nature of the respondent's work, place of residence, and relatives residing in America, had a high degree of control over the occurrence of these effects.
