Swati Tulshan

Abstract :

People today, use the social media for various reasons and purposes. Social media usage is also considered a young adulthood phenomenon. Sixty young adults (30 women and 30 men) were surveyed using the standardized Online Social Media Questionnaire. An analysis of some sections of their results, indicated that within young adulthood, individuals in the age range of 30-40 years had fewer access to a smartphone and internet-based computer systems. However all the individuals reported knowing about various social media sites like Facebook and most of them actively engaged in using the same, despite a common notion among them that people present themselves differently on these sites.
