The Study
This study was conducted by student-researchers at The Whittemore School of Business and
Economics at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to determine whether there is a
correlation between heavy usage of social media and grades. The study also was undertaken to
determine how much time students actively use social media and if there has been an increase
or decrease in usage over time.
Background
Whittemore School of Business and Economics student researchers recently completed a study
to determine if there was a relationship between online social media usage and grades of
college students. The survey was administered by members of a market research class led by
Adjunct Professor Chuck Martin. A total of 1,127students from all colleges at the university
(College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, College of Liberal Arts, College of Life Sciences
and Agriculture, College of Health and Human Services, Thompson School of Applied Sciences,
and the Whittemore School of Business and Economics) were surveyed.
Executive Summary
The research shows that there is no correlation between the amount of time students spend
using social media and their grades. Grades followed similar distributions for all colleges, with
the majority of students earning A's and B's. The study showed that more students use
Facebook and YouTube than any other social media platform. Blogs, Twitter, MySpace, and
LinkedIn had significantly lower amounts of student users. Students from the business school
had the highest percentage of users of blogs, Twitter, and LinkedIn while liberal arts students
were the highest percentage of MySpace users.
