Abstract
This research aims to determine whether there is a correlation between screen time and perceived general self-efficacy. Prior research identifies a negative correlation between the two, and further research will contribute to the strength of that hypothesis. An analysis of internet addiction and its ties to self-efficacy was performed, and three elements were selected for testing - perceived general self-efficacy (GSE), total weekly screen time, and average daily screen time. Based on the analyses and test findings, this research demonstrates that screen time negatively correlates with perceived general self-efficacy.
