Sneha Balasubramani


Abstract: The research aimed to investigate the relationship between social media addiction and self - deception among young adults. With the widespread prevalence of social media platforms and growing concerns about its impact on mental health, understanding the potential link between addiction and self - deception becomes crucial for promoting healthier digital behaviour. A sample of 200 young adults aged between 18 and 29 years participated in this research, assessing their social media addiction and self - deceptive tendencies by using Social Media Addiction Scale and Self - deception Scale. The result was analysed using Pearson correlation and shows that there is a significant positive correlation between social media addiction and self - deception.
