THE IMPACT OF EXCESSIVE PHONE AND SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE ON STUDENTS IN UZBEKISTAN
Keywords:
Comparative and Quantitative Analysis, Excessive Phone Usage among Uzbek Students, Physical, Mental, and Behavioral Aspects, Survey.Abstract
This paper explores habitual behaviors of high school students related to their smartphone usage, and analyzes the influence of these habits on their personal and professional lives. The main issue of this gradually advancing technological era is that the very devices, made to ease the lives of the citizens, are actually causing distractions among them. Speaking of students, being preoccupied with their phones for the most part of the day is preventing them from disciplined study and meaningful time with their families. This article seeks to clarify the extent to which this problem is prevalent among Uzbek students. To delve deeper into the issue, 40 students from groups 401&402 were selected as the experiment subjects. The survey was conducted with them and the results showed that if the time spent on their phones was reduced, students have claimed that they would complete their homework on time and spend more quality time with their families and children. The potential dangers of excessive phone usage on humans’ physical, mental and behavioral well-being are being overlooked in Uzbekistan, and the lack of attention given to the problem is allowing it to grow bigger. The survey was carried out with a small number of people, therefore considering the results as representative of nationwide statistics is not appropriate. To get the exact scale of the issue across the country, it is suggested to conduct similar studies in all parts of the state.
