This article explores how social media usage affects individuals' self-confidence. With advancing technology, more people are dedicating significant time to social media platforms. During this time, users often follow others and compare themselves, which can influence their self-perception. The research aims to investigate whether there is a correlation between social media usage and self-confidence among students from different disciplines at Baku State University. The researchers used the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale and the Self-Confidence Scale during the research. The study showed that, if p > 0.05, the results can be considered as normally distributed. If, p < 0.05, the dependence between quantities is significant; if greater, the dependence is insignificant. According to the research findings, the significance level is 0, which means it is less than 0.05. In conclusion, there is a significant correlation between social media addiction and self-confidence.References
