إدمان الشباب على مواقع التواصل الإجتماعي: التيك توك نموذجا

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the addiction of young people to the use of social media platforms, particularly the TikTok application. It also aimed to understand its significant impact on the social lives of Algerian youth and their deviation within society. Additionally, the study sought to explore the motives behind using the TikTok platform. This text has sparked considerable controversy, especially within Algerian society, as we now find the TikTok application installed on most smartphones, influencing various age groups. Among the key findings of our study were the Algerian youth's addiction to excessive use of the TikTok application and the existence of several motives for their use. One of the most significant motives is the desire to gain fame quickly and earn money easily without exerting effort, as well as establishing new relationships with active and well-known individuals on TikTok within the community.
