The Influence of Online Social Groups on Adolescents’ Self-Esteem and Academic Performance in China

Abstract

In the digital era, adolescents in China are immersed in online social groups, which have become a prominent part of their lives. This study delves into the influence of online social groups on adolescents’ self-esteem and academic performance in China. We explore how participation in these groups affects self-esteem, investigate the potential link between online social group activities and academic performance, and weigh the positive and negative aspects of their influence. The findings shed light on the psychological implications of these dynamics and offer insights into potential interventions to promote healthy self-esteem and academic success among Chinese adolescents. Ethical considerations regarding responsible use of online social groups are also discussed.
