Abstract

Social Network is widely used in many university students, which few studies have explored the effect of social network on self-compassion and the hope of the students. The purpose of the study is to examine the self-compassion and hope of university students while using social networks. The sample of the study was (842) male and female students from Al-Jouf University, Ain Shams University and Alexandria University. The sample was divided according to the use of social networks into two categories, the low category in the use of social networks, who use social networks for an hour or less, and the high category in the use of social networks. They are the ones who use social networks for four hours or more, and the low in the use of social networks became (135) male and female students, and the high in the use of social networks (107) were male and female students. The researchers applied to them the measure of self-compassion in particular prepared by Neff, 2003 and the measure of hope prepared by Abdel Moati 2010. The study found that there are statistically significant differences at the level (0.01) between low and high use of social networks in self-compassion, in favor of low use of social networks. It also found that there are statistically significant differences at the level (0.01) between low and high users of social networking in hope, in favor of those with low use of social networks.
