Unveiling the YouTube addiction: Understanding the spectrum of digital dependency

ABSTRACT Background: Excessive use of YouTube is increasingly being as a source of technological addiction in both adolescent and adult population worldwide. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess YouTube addiction among adolescents and adults and the ways to reduce its usage. Methods: After obtaining Institutional ethical clearance and informed consent, we collected data from adolescent and adult male and female using a 22-item YouTube addiction scale (YAS) questionnaire. Face-to-face interview was conducted by the principal investigator. The principal component analysis (PCA) of the YAS questionnaire was performed. Manual content analysis was conducted for the qualitative data. Results: We enrolled 54 (50.9%) male and 52 (49.1%) female participants. The majority of them use YouTube and Instagram. Severely addicted were 38.7%, who spent all seven days watching YouTube videos. A principal component analysis revealed a four-component YAS structure based on an eigenvalue cutoff (>1), Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy was more than 0.5, and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was <0.001. We grouped 22 items into four dimensions: Impaired control, decrease alternate pleasure, intense desire, and measures taken to reduce usage. Conclusion: Behaviour modification needed to promote healthier YouTube usage habits.

The Relationship Between Social Media Addiction and Perceived Stress in Adolescents.

The study was conducted to determine the relationship between social media addiction and perceived stress in adolescents. The study was conducted in a descriptive and cross-sectional design between September and December 2022 in secondary education institutions of the Provincial Directorate of National Education in a city center in eastern Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 716 adolescents who were studying in the ninth grade (145), 10th grade (198), 11th grade (216), and 12th grade (157) who met the inclusion criteria of the study at the time the study was conducted. The sample comprised individuals with diverse sociodemographic characteristics, including ages, genders, school success levels, parents' education levels, parents' job status, socioeconomic status, time spent on daily social media, and purposes of social media use of the adolescents. The "Sociodemographic Characteristics Form," "Social Media Addiction Scale for Adolescents (SMASA)," and "Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)" were used as the data collection tools. Ethical principles were fulfilled in the study. It was found that the average age of the adolescents who participated in the study was 15.71 ± 1.22, 58.1% were females, 41.1% had good school success, 90.5% had a mobile phone, 90.2% used WhatsApp, 56.8% said that their daily social media use time was between 1 and 3 h, and 64% said that their purpose of using social media was for entertainment and leisure. The mean SMASA score was 18.49 ± 6.98, and the mean PSS score was 42.11 ± 7.54. It was found in the study that the mother's employment status, phone ownership status, use of Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Snapchat, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn accounts, daily social media use, time and purposes of using social media affected the mean SMASA score. Age, gender, school success, use of Instagram and Snapchat accounts, daily social media use time, and purposes of using social media affected the mean PSS score (p < 0.05). As a result of the study, a positive and low-level significant relationship was detected between social media addiction and perceived stress levels (p < 0.01). As the levels of social media addiction increase in adolescents, the perceived stress levels also increase. It was also found that some variables affected the social media addiction and perceived stress levels of adolescents.

Impact of YouTube-based Learning on Early Childhood Education

The development of spiritual intelligence in five to six year old children warrants effective stimulation. Various tools are used in kindergartens for this purpose, yet there remains a scope for improvement. Consequently, this study advocates the use of Youtube as a medium for enhancing spiritual intelligence in children. Preliminary observations at the Asyiyah Bustanul Atfhal Dolago Kindergarten indicate a lack in spiritual understanding among children, from recognizing divinity in creation to showing respect to others as an expression of gratitude to God, and a basic understanding of hijaiyyah letters. Therefore, parents and teachers are encouraged to utilize Youtube to stimulate spiritual intelligence in these children, especially amidst the Covid-19 circumstances. This research employs an experimental design, conducted in three stages: preparatory, implementation, and final stages. The techniques for data collection include the use of observation sheets, with descriptive and inferential data analysis. The evaluation factors include understanding the pillars of faith and Islam, recognition of hijaiyyah letters, and knowing the two sentences of shahada. The findings suggest that the use of Youtube Audio Visual media successfully boosts spiritual intelligence in children aged five to six, as indicated by improved post-treatment observation results. Keywords: spiritual intelligence, Youtube, early childhood

Content, educational value and quality analysis of videos about neurorehabilitation in people with multiple sclerosis on YouTube®.

The use of YouTube® has spread among patients with chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). These patients consult the available videos to learn more about their disease in terms of diagnosis and making decisions about treatments, including rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the content, educational value, and quality analysis of MS videos about neurorehabilitation on YouTube® using quantitative instruments. A search was conducted on YouTube®. The first 30 videos that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. The videos were classified according to the upload source and the content. All videos included in the review were assessed by the DISCERN questionnaire, the JAMA benchmark, the global quality scale (GQS) and the video information and quality index (VIQI). The mean scores were: 28.3 (±9.33) in DISCERN, 2 (±0.81) in JAMA, 2.57 (±1.22) in GQS, and 11.73 (±4.06) in VIQI. JAMA score statistically significantly differed according to upload source (p = 0.002), video content (p = 0.023) and the speaker (p = 0.002). The DISCERN, JAMA, GQS, and VIQI scores showed significant correlations with each other. The analyzed videos about neurorehabilitation in people with MS on YouTube® were quite old since the upload, with a moderate duration and number of views, but with a poor quality of the content, educational value, and quality analysis of the videos. Our research showed that there were statistically significant differences in terms of quality, transparency, and reliability of the information, depending on the upload source, video content and the speaker.

Learning cardiac embryology on YouTube-What videos are there to view?

In modern medical curricula, embryology is typically taught through lectures, with a few institutions providing tutorials. The use of 3-D videos or animations enables students to study these embryological structures and how they change with time. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of cardiac embryology videos available on YouTube. A systematic literature review regarding the use of YouTube in teaching or learning cardiac embryology identified no papers that examined this specific question, and next, a systematic search of YouTube was performed. A total of 1200 cardiac embryology videos were retrieved using 12 specific search terms, with 370 videos retrieved under two or more search terms and excluded. A further 511 videos were excluded under additional, specific criteria. The remaining 319 videos were evaluated with the YouTube Video Assessment Criteria (UTvAC), with 121 rated as "useful." Videos on YouTube are uploaded with a wide audience in mind, from children to cardiologists, and content control is imperfect. Multiple videos were identified as duplicates of videos from original channels, typically without attribution. While 49 videos showed operations or human material, none contained an ethical statement regarding consent, and only 10 of these included an age restriction or graphical advisory. While there are useful videos for medical students studying cardiac embryology on YouTube, intuitive search strategies will also identify many with irrelevant content and of variable quality. Digital competence and search strategies are not innate skills, so educators should teach students to assess information so as to avoid overload or "filter failure."

A Social Media Content Analysis of Dental Health Information Involving the Use of Miswak (Salvadora persica) Chewing Stick on YouTube™.

Background The widespread availability of Internet access and the rising popularity of social media platforms have facilitated the dissemination of health-related information, including dental health practices. However, assessing the quality and effectiveness of such information remains a challenge, particularly concerning traditional practices such as Miswak (Salvadora persica) usage. This study aims to assess the description, use, and effectiveness of the Miswak (Salvadora persica) chewing stick posted as video clips on YouTube™ and provide considerations for future interventions. Methodology YouTube videos were searched using the terms "Miswak," "Siwak," "Salvadora persica," and "Chewing stick." Each video's descriptive features, i.e., title, links, country of origin, upload date, running time, views, comments, likes, and dislikes, were recorded. Content quality was assessed using the DISCERN tool, which rates the reliability, dependability, and trustworthiness of online sources across 16 items. Scores were aggregated for analysis. The statistical analysis examined video features and associations between the speaker, video type, source, and quality, with significance set at a p-value <0.05 using SPSS Statistics Version 20 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results A total of 45 videos were included in the study, with the majority (62%) created by the "other professionals" category. Almost three-quarters (73.3%) of the videos were educational. The quality of the video clips was correlated with the speaker source and category of "other," revealing that high-quality information was considered such when the source was other than a dentist. Further, we found that a video's source did not elicit differences in the opinion of the video's quality. Conclusions This social media analysis provides considerations and implications for future research on the potential use of YouTube as a platform for Miswak educational interventions.

Young Black American Women’s Social Media Use and Online Victimization

Despite young Black women’s high rates of social media use and risks for victimization at the nexus of sexism and racism, the relationship between these variables remains under researched in this segment. We surveyed 354 Black American women aged 18–30 to explore the associations between two aspects of social media use—time spent daily on social media platforms (i.e., Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube) and type of social media engagement (i.e., active social use, active non-social use, and passive use)—with four different types of online victimization (i.e., general online victimization [GOV], online sexual victimization [OSV], online individual racial victimization [OIRV], and online vicarious racial victimization [OVRV]). Results indicate that more time spent daily on Tumblr was significantly associated with more experiences of GOV, OSV, and OIRV. More time spent daily on Instagram was significantly associated with more experiences of OVRV, while more time spent daily on Facebook was significantly associated with fewer experiences of OVRV. Active non-social use was significantly associated with more experiences of GOV and OIRV. Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube use, active social use, and passive use were not significantly associated with any categories of online victimization. We provide implications for researchers as well as mental and behavioral health practitioners seeking to enhance Black women’s safety and well-being on social media platforms.

Implementasi Media Sosial Sebagai Media Pembelajaran Untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Berbicara Teks Tanggapan Mengenai Buku Fiksi di SMP Negeri 4 Madiun

An incident that often happens nowadays is that students prefer to play on their cellphones to watch videos. Especially in applications like TikTok which are not specifically for education. Many of the videos on the app are not filtered, so there is a possibility that underage students are watching inappropriate content. Therefore, an understanding of this application is necessary in order to achieve learning objectives. This article aims to provide knowledge about the use of TikTok and YouTube to improve students' speaking skills through the use of these applications. This type of research is Classroom Action Research (PTK) which covers pre-cycle, cycle I and cycle II. There are four research procedures, namely planning, implementation, observation and finally reflection. This research was carried out at SMP Negeri 4 Madiun with research subjects in class VII B which had a total of 32 students. The data analysis technique used is qualitative data.

Haunting Messages: Online Videos and Public Belief in Paranormal Phenomena.

Despite broad skepticism within the scientific community regarding paranormal phenomena such as ghosts and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), many members of the public believe in these phenomena. Previous studies have argued that viewing paranormal-themed television-including documentary, reality, and news programming-can cultivate such beliefs. In addition, recent research suggests that the online video-sharing platform YouTube may serve as an important source of messages about fringe phenomena. With that in mind, this study builds on theoretical accounts of genre-specific cultivation and social media affordances to examine how YouTube videos present paranormal topics and whether YouTube use predicts belief in the paranormal. A content analysis of 50 highly viewed YouTube videos about paranormal topics (25 about hauntings and 25 about UFOs) showed that a large majority of these videos featured paranormal claims and that a majority included purported footage of paranormal phenomena. Scientific sources appeared in only a quarter of UFO videos and almost no haunting videos, while government sources appeared in most UFO videos, but few haunting videos. An analysis of data from a survey of the U.S. public (n = 1,035), in turn, found that paranormal documentary or reality television viewing, paranormal news use, and YouTube use predicted belief in hauntings, controlling for a range of other media use variables and background factors. These results highlight the potential for video-sharing platforms such as YouTube to reinforce paranormal beliefs among the public.

대학생의 외로움이 대학생활적응에 미치는 영향

Objectives The purposes of this study were to determine the influence of loneliness on college students' adaptation to examine the serial mediating effects of self-regulation and YouTube over-dependence. Methods A survey was conducted on 498 college students in grades 1 to 4 nationwide using the Korean version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale, Self-Control Scale, YouTube Over-Dependence Scale, and Student Adaptation to College Scale. Reliability, descriptive statistics, and Pearson correlation analysis were performed on 468 data after excluding non-responding data using SPSS 21.0, and a serial mediating effect was calculated using SPSS Process Macro Model 6. Results First, loneliness and adaptation to college, self-control, and YouTube dependence were all significantly related. Second, in the relationship between loneliness and college adaptation, self-control and YouTube over-dependence had individual mediating effect, respectively, and the serial mediating effect of loneliness affecting college adaptation through self-control and YouTube over-dependence was also found to be significant. Even after adding mediators, the direct effects of loneliness and college adaptation were significant, confirming the existence of a partial mediating effect. Conclusions It was concluded that when college students feel lonely;they perceive that they are not in control of their difficulties or their surroundings;which leads to their overdependent use of YouTube as a way to avoid this;and eventually have difficulty adapting to college life. Therefore;this study proposed an intervention that can increase their self-control and support programs for intimate interpersonal relationships and bonds for college students to live happily and adaptively in college. Additionally;the education and programs should be developed and provided for them to control use of YouTube according to their own needs.
