Abstract

This study used a descriptive non-experimental design. The respondents consisted of 231 Grade 11 senior high school students studying at De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute who have a social medical account and chosen using judgmental sampling and computed using Slovin's formula. A self-made questionnaire served as the instrument to obtain data. Frequency distribution, mean, standard deviation, t-test and f-test were used in data analysis. The study concluded that, 1) Majority of the respondents were female, perceived themselves as ambiverts, frequently used social media for social networking, had an average duration of access to social media of 3-4 hours and primarily used social media for entertainment purposes; 2) The senior high school students of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute had a high perception on the effects on the use of social media to self-image; 3) There were no significant differences in the perceived effects on the use of social media to the self-image of the senior high school students when grouped according to sex, type of social media, frequency of use, and duration of access. However, there was a significant difference in the perceived effects on the use of social media to the self-image of the senior high school students when they are grouped according to personality type and reason for using social media.
