Abstract

Emotional burnout is the huge manifestation which is closely linked to the usage of electronic devices in daily life, especially now that everything is constantly changing and nearly all of our everyday activities involve the internet. Increased screen time has been associated with reduced attention spans, mood swings, and thinking difficulties. The aim of this research is to study the potential correlation between the students' screen time and their vulnerability to emotional exhaustion and the psychological impacts of increasing daily screen use. The daily screen time feature on smartphones will also be maximed to examine the students’ daily consumption of technology. The qualitative study uses a methodological approach with eight (8) respondents as the sample target population. More specifically, the research will employ a descriptive phenomenological existential study that blends a purposive sampling strategy with a narrative analytic approach, and only valid students from DLSMHSI-SHSSHS will be involved. The results will be categorized into three (3) categories, namely; (1) The students’ experiences with the usage of technology in relation to emotional burnout, (2) Attention span, mood changes, and thinking difficulties as factors for emotional burnout, and (3) The influence of screen time to the emotional well-being of the Senior High School Students. The study identified the major finding of daily screen time that primarily affects the individuals in positive or negative responses through Emotional Burnout.
