Behavioral addiction to online social networking, social literacy and social status

For today´s children it is common to live in two places at once - in the off-line environment of the classroom and in the online world of social networks. The movement in both places requires an individual to abound with certain abilities and skills. At the same time, the individuals in both places - online and offline, encounter with some dangers - in the social media case it can be considered addictive behaviour. The question is whether the abilities and skills that the individual uses in the real world and which affect his position in the classroom may be somehow related to the emergence and development of addictive behaviour on social networks. The aim of the theoretical part is to inform readers about the problematic of addictive behaviour on social networks, to explain the importance of social contact and outline the connection between online and offline environments. The practical part contains the research, which is aimed to find out, if there are any correlations between addictive behaviour on social networks, social literacy and social status of pupils.
