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.55 leavesapplication/pdfenCC0 1.0 UniversalThis item may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
