From 2017 to 2024, literature on social media addiction evolved from early studies linking excessive use to reduced attention in students, through GPA correlations, pandemic surges, and longitudinal impacts on memory and efficiency. By 2024, AI-moderated interventions emerged as promising tools to curb usage and enhance productivity.

Literature Review (2017–2024)

2017: Early Social Media Addiction Studies Initial research links excessive use to reduced attention spans in university students. 2019: Milestone GPA Correlation Analysis Studies show inverse relationship between daily social media hours and academic performance. 2020: Pandemic Usage Surge Observed Lockdowns doubled student screen time, amplifying distraction and mental health concerns. 2022: Longitudinal Distraction Impact Report Multi-year data reveals chronic use impairs memory retention and study efficiency. 2024: AI-Moderated Intervention Trials AI tools show promise in moderating usage and boosting student productivity.

The "Theoretical Frameworks" slide presents key media theories in a feature grid format, including Uses & Gratifications (users select media for needs like info and entertainment), Social Learning (learning via influencers and peers), and Cultivation Theory (media shapes reality perceptions). It also covers Agenda-Setting (media influences perceived importance of issues), and Diffusion of Innovations (social media speeds idea spread among students).
