Abstract
Social media is now central to student life, reshaping how college students learn, connect, and cope with stress. This study explored patterns of social networking use among 360 Indian college students, examining links with self-esteem, psychological well-being, and stress coping styles. Using standardized tools (Social Networking Usage Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Brief COPE Scale), findings showed academic-oriented use dominated, reflecting a shift toward digital platforms as tools for learning and collaboration. Self-esteem did not significantly predict usage patterns, but psychological well-being—especially self-awareness—and approach coping strategies, like planning and active coping, were strongly linked with academic use. The results highlight social media's growing relevance in education and mental health.
