Abstract

For more than a decade, Facebook has played an important role in everyone's daily lives as a result of the fast and massive development of communication technologies. Facebook brings people closer together as it provides an avenue for communicating with special people, friends, and family. However, it is undeniably true that Facebook may have a negative impact on one’s social and personal lives. One significant emerging issue is the prevalence of Facebook dependence among the young generation. This survey tackles Facebook dependence, particularly among the students in the College of Teacher Education at Bohol Island State University. This study made use of the descriptive survey method with validated research questionnaires. Results show that among the 213 students, 4.70% are Facebook users, while 88.20% are not. The degree of dependency varies from high to low, which implies that data have shown remarkable impact and that Facebook dependency really exists in the university.
