Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the predictive ability of the degree of use of social media with cognitive, moral, and social values among students at Amman Arab University. The study sample consisted of (567) male and female students, and two measures were used in this study: a measure of the degree of use of social media, and a measure of the level of cognitive, moral, and social values. . Their validity and reliability were verified through application to a survey sample. The results of the study showed that the level of cognitive and social values among students at Amman Arab University was average, and that the level of moral values was high. The results of the study also showed that the degree of use of social media was high. The results of simple linear regression analysis showed that the degree of use of social networking sites has a predictive ability for both the cognitive, social, and moral values of Amman Arab University students.
