Abstract

Internet has given us various tools to communicate. One of them is Social Networking Site (SNS). There are numerous Social Networking Sites (SNSs) over internet and their vigorous users are mostly the young boys and girls. And thus they are the hot subject of research in the context of Social Networking Sites. Studies have shown that their excessive use might have been affecting the young girls and boys. This research is basically trying to find difference in the adjustment of the high users of SNSs and Low users of SNSs. Further this research is trying to find a correlation between adjustment and use of SNSs. Results revealed that there might be difference in the adjustment of the two groups. However there seems no correlation between the adjustment and the use of SNSs.
