These comprised of one hundred seventy one (171) first year students, one hundred seventy-eight (178 second year students, one hundred fifty-four (154) third year students, and one hundred forty-seven (147) fourth year students. The research instrument used in the study was a self-made questionnaire based on the 10 rules of Virginia Shea (2004) regarding the social networking netiquette. It was validated by a faculty member from the College of Medical Radiation Technology, a General Education faculty member from the College of Humanities and Sciences, and a Guidance Counselor from the Office of Student Services, all from De La Salle Health Sciences Institute. Prior to actual data gathering, permission to conduct the study was secured from the Dean of College of Medical Radiation Technology. Respondents' consent were also secured. Parental consent and respondent's assent were secured from respondents who are below 18 years old. Data gathering was done during classes after securing permission from the subject teacher.
