CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Most of all people use Internet to connect to each other,
communities, and countries around the world. Internet was a static network
designed to shuttle a small freight of bytes or a short message between two
terminals, according to Zaryn Dentzel (2014). The origin of information
where content was published and maintained only by expert coders.
Teenagers use internet for entertainment purposes. Studies found
that youths of high school age used the Internet more than any other age
group (UCLA Center for Communication Policy, 2003). Teenagers are seen
to be the biggest contributors to the use of internet, it certainly has become
a topic of concern.
In several reasons we researcher conduct this research for an
interesting study particularly on teenagers. First, the Internet is
fundamentally changing human communication. Only a few scholars, such
as Nie and Erbring (2000), have gone beyond the usual new media vs.
traditional media displacement study to explore the relationship between
Internet use and interpersonal communication with family members.

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
Second, according to study (Amanda Lenhart, 2015), 56% of teens—
those between the ages of 13 to 17— go online several times a day, 12%—
report once-a-day use, 6%— going online weekly, 2%—go online less often.
These statistics show regardless of level that almost adolescents now have
Internet access.
Third, Internet suggests the possible impact of too much Internet use
on teenager’s communication. Internet have many potential benefits.
Several studies have indicated a positive association between the use of
these technologies, well-being and relationships (e.g. Grieve et al., 2013;
Kraut et al., 2002; Wang & Wang, 2011). However, other studies have
indicated negative effects, particularly on the strength and nature of
relationships (e.g. Kraut et al., 1998; Kross et al., 2013; Shklovski et al.,
2004).
There are reasons about these contradictory findings, but one
possibility is that the effect of Internet is not even (c.f. Best et al., 2014).
Therefore, this study chose to investigate teenagers, or more specifically
high school students. The aim of this research was to explore whether the
effects vary depending on the type of communications: Virtual, and Reality
among teenagers spend too much on computer.

1.2 Statement of the Problem
This study aims to find out the Comparison of Communication in
Virtual Vs. Reality among teenagers spend too much on Internet. This
invites some questions:
1.) How does too much use of internet affect communication in terms
of:
1.1 ) Virtual?
1.2) Reality?
2.) Is there any significant relationship between Communication in
Virtual and teenagers time spent on Internet?
2.1) Is there any significant relationship between Communication in
Reality and teenagers time spent on Internet?
Hypothesis:
Ha: There is significant level of relationship between communication in
Virtual and time spend on Internet.
Ho: There is no significant level of relationship between communication in
Virtual and time spend on Internet.
Ha: There is significant level of relationship between communication in
Reality and time spend on Internet.

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
Ho: There is no significant level of relationship between communication in
Reality and time spend on Internet.
1.3 Scope and Delimitations
This study was conducted to determine by examining the two areas
of Communication: Virtual and Reality that focus among Teenagers’
spending too much time on Internet.
The coverage of this study is about Comparison of Virtual
Communication and Reality Communication which may get a more
accurate picture of respondent’s time displacement and it covers daily off-
line behaviours, such as social interaction. This study is limited to teenagers
and the respondents will be a student come from AMA Computer College
Biñan Campus wherein computer technology is widely influential and is
frequently used as a personal requirement in their curriculum.
The researcher limited this research to Programming Strand, from
Grades 11-12. This research will be use non-probability, specifically the
purposive sampling technique in which an equal representation for gender
and grade level among the respondents was applied. The sample size will
require ten (10) students for each section.

1.4 Significance of the Study
Parents Results of this study will help improve parents educated about their
child/children time expenditure on internet which will help them know
on how they will enlighten their kids to guide and teach them on how
it will affect their relationship and on what activities to replace having
much time on internet to build their interpersonal communication.
Teenagers This study provides an effective and efficient way of informing
teenagers about the Comparison of Virtual VS Reality
Communication among Teenagers spend too much on Internet. The
study will determine the teens time spent on internet as well on how
it affects their Communication in Virtual and Reality which will boost
the literacy rate of the country. The study will mainly focus on the
impact on teenagers who are spending too much on Internet.
Future researchers Another researcher will also benefit with this study, this
study is delimited about Comparison of Communication in Virtual and
Reality, as well as the importance of Communication among
teenagers. This study will give comprehensive information about
possible displacement and patterns of daily activities of teenagers
that may affect their time spending both personal interaction and on
Internet.

1.5 Definition of Terms

Internet equals freedom for some teens and gives a sense of independence
(Wolcott, 1999), and Internet provides an opportunity for Teenagers
to establish a sense of belonging. The Internet, also called the “virtual
world” or “cyberspace” according to Matussitz (2007). Gross et al
(2002) noted that in California ages 13 - 17 use their computer and
mobile phones to exchange instant messages. According to (Bargh
and McKenna, 2004) no one today disputes the fact that the Internet
is likely to have significant impacts on social life, but there remains
substantial disagreement as to the nature and values of this impact.
Communication can be defined as the process of transmitting information
and common understanding from one person to another (Keyton,
2011). It is the creation or exchange of thoughts, ideas, emotions,
and understanding between sender and receiver. Akua Ahyia Adu-
Oppong (2014) said that real communication has taken place with
instant messages. However, If the idea received is not the one
intended, face-to-face communication has not taken place
Communication in Virtual takes time away from face-to-face or the real
communication, and it weakens relationships at the expense of
strong ones (Kraut et al., 1998). According to Olick J.K., Vinitzky-
Seroussi, Levy D. (2011) humans possessed the technology to use

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
technology to communicate in space. Communication in Reality has
been less preferable to mediated communication or Virtual
Communication in some situations, particularly where time and
geographical distance are an issue (Nardi B. A. and Whittaker S.,
2002).
Communication in Reality According to Jones, Jr. (2013), communication
in the Real World can be used in “hybrid” courses that cover some
combination of communication foundations such as interpersonal
communication, group communication, and public communication.
According to David C.J and, David M. et al (1994) Face-to-face
interaction is defined as the mutual influence of individuals’ direct
physical presence with his/her body language.
1.6 Theoretical Framework
Time-displacement (Young S. S., 2006)
On Dana Sienkowski (2012) vlog post stated the displacement
theory was developed by leading mass media scholar, Maxwell McCombs.
The theory is based on the fact that time is a limited resource and the
amount of time that we have make communication activities describes how
individuals only have so much time in our lives that we can communicate.
CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
The key concept is that people cannot begin a new activity without
decreasing time devoted to prior activities. The time-displacement
hypothesis suggests people reduce their time spending things they do, if
they begin a new activity. When the hypothesis is applied to Internet use,
people starting to use the Internet will have to decrease time devoted to
other activities. Dozens of studies that examined how each new media
technology affected people’s use of traditional media (e.g., Coffin, 1948;
Belson, 1961; Nie & Erbring, 2000).
There are many studies on the Internet’s time-displacement theory.
Some studies (e.g., Kohut, 1996; Active Media Research, 1998; Kaye,
1998) found that if people spent more time online, the less they watched
television. The findings of the studies on the Internet’s displacement of
interpersonal communication on teenagers was less consistent. Some
studies like Nie and Erbring (2000) and National Public Radio et al. (2000)
found that the more hours’ people logged on the Internet, the less they
talked with their family members and friends, but other studies found that
Internet use had little effect on the amount of time that users spent with
family and friends (UCLA Center for Communication Policy, 2000),
beneficial effect on interaction with family members (Lee & Kuo, 2002;
UCLA Center for Communication Policy, 2003), and positive impact on

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
overall social interaction (McKenna & Bargh, 2000; Katz, Rice &
Aspden,2001; McKenna, Green & Gleason, 2002).
Internet use has a negative or positive impact in communication
either in Virtual or Reality. As the Internet becomes a part of Teenager’s
lives. There are one (1) major question to consider, what activities will be
replaced by the increasing time spent on the Internet, comparing
communication in Virtual Vs. Reality.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
The review of related literature of this study focuses on the
comparison of communication in Virtual VS Reality. Some issues and will
also be covered within the course of this study: Internet Technology as a
Modern Means of Communication and Teenagers time use. All the
information was gathered through readings, unpublished thesis, journals,
encyclopaedias and searching different literature.
Local literature
Communication in Virtual
The presence of the Internet has made it easier for people to connect
to each other, but older channels such as telephones, radio, and cellular
phone communication is still very much alive in the Philippines.
There has been some research describing how the Internet is used
in the Philippines. A study by Pertierra (2006) revealed that 50 percent of
Filipino respondents aged 14 to 23 years old use the Internet and mobile
phones to expand their circle of relationships by participating in online chat
groups, forums and social networking sites. Most of teenagers make use of
the Internet as an avenue to meet virtual friends. Another study by the

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
Social Weather Station (SWS) in 2011 (Labucay, 2011) surveyed 1,200
Filipinos and clustered Internet use into five categories: First, social
networking (online social networking such as Facebook, Twitter), Second,
information seeking or learning (news, health information), Third, reactivity
and production (blogging, share own photos, videos and stories), Fourth,
entertainment and leisure (online games), and lastly, commercial activity
(online purchasing). Like the rest of the world, the Philippines has embraced
the Internet. According to Broadband Commission (2012) Two out of three
Filipinos use Internet social networks - the highest penetration in the world
and a feat considering that only 29 percent of Filipinos have Internet access
in their homes.
Another study on Internet monitoring in the Philippines (Alampay and
Hechanova, 2010) revealed that 65 percent of companies provide Internet
access to employees. Of these, more than half of the organizations (58
percent) restrict use either in terms of online content and applications.
Specifically, sites that are blocked are: pornography (69 percent) and
gaming (53 percent). In addition to restriction, 57 percent of companies
report monitoring employees Internet use. A quarter of the organizations
perform constant monitoring, whereas 20 percent conduct monitoring
routinely. Almost half (45 percent) of the organizations used disciplinary

02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
procedures for employees because of improper use of the Internet. Most of
teenagers communicate with each other on Internet just to seek information.
Internet users can create information by themselves or actively search and
reach the information on the web. Further, people evaluate the given
information and set forth their view so that other people can see them.
Interaction with other users is another feature of interactivity of the Internet.
Opinions and views flow freely on the web.
According to Canadian International Development Agency (Sep. 19
2018) The use of cell phone is the number one means of communication
in the Philippines. It is not uncommon to see someone texting while in
meetings. Today's teenagers frequently use the Internet to communicate.
Although it is a way to exchange information and to get to know people,
online communication presents certain dangers such as online threats,
providing personal information to strangers. According to Oprea C., Stan
Andreea (2012) aims to identify adolescent's perceptions of the virtual
communication.
Effective communication goes a long way. You can’t expect your
family and friends to learned things and be successful without
communicating well with someone who’s with prior knowledge. Time
differences and activities will make this challenging, but by using Internet
CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
you’ll have a much easier time get your messages across to your family and
friends.
Communication in Reality
Interpersonal communication can take place Communication in
Reality, between a medium or the way in front of the computer and so on.
According to Filipino-Wikipedia (2018) the interpersonal communication is
a kind of communication going and going at intervals of two or more
people. Interpersonal communication may be oral, verbal, written or
listened to.
In Eagle Broadcasting Corporation, according to Young voices
speak, youth (2017) In the age of technology, one is no longer required to
be in the same room or even in the same country with the person they are
talking to. Our methods of communication and interaction adapt as the
choices for communication become more diverse and convenient. Online
social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have grown in
popularity in the past few years as they provide us an easy and convenient
way to communicate with each other wherever we are in the world.
Facebook is not only the most prevalent but also the most preferred form of
communication for many students and young adults today. According to
them, as of April 2016, Facebook was the most popular social networking
CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
site in the world, based on the number of active user accounts—more than
1.94 billion monthly active users as of March 2017. Facebook is a social
networking site which allow users to post comments, share photographs
and links to news or other interesting content on the Web, play games, chat
live, and even stream live video. Shared content can be made publicly
accessible, or it can be shared only among a selected group of friends or
family, or with a single person. Nowadays, when you look around you, you’ll
notice people with their heads bowed down, hands busy tapping on their
phones. Instead of talking to their friends who are right there with them, they
prefer to do online activities with their other friends. Ironically, social media
the supposed great enabler of interpersonal communication – is causing its
demise.
At the end of the day, nothing can replace face-to-face interactions
or interpersonal communication. Personal exchanges and in-depth
conversations just have that ineffable quality, they are more real, sincerer,
and more heartfelt. Only when we talk with each other directly do we feel
what the others feel. After all, much of our communication is done in the
subconscious level, with facial expressions, tone of voice and body
language playing important parts. As such, to avoid misunderstandings, it
is important to actually engage with the one you are communicating with.
CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
After all, emojis may be cute but, let’s admit it, they don’t properly convey
what the person wants to say.
Communication in Reality should not be replaced with virtual
communication. The feelings that were felt and shared by making memories
personally with the people who are dear to you as well as having once-in-
a-life-time experiences with them, even with modern technology, those
feelings can’t be e-mailed or posted on Facebook.
Foreign Literature
Communication in Virtual
According to Olick J.K., Vinitzky-Seroussi, Levy D. (2011) Even
through humans possessed the technology to use technology to
communicate in space and time for millennia, most of the world's population
lacked skills such as literacy to use them.
This began to change with the invention of the printing press by
Johannes Gutenberg that led to the spread of printed texts and rising
literacy in Europe from the 15th century (Nardi B. A. and Whittaker S.,
2002). Since then, face-to-face interaction has begun to steadily lose
ground to mediated communication. Communication in Reality has been
however described as less preferable to mediated communication in some
situations, particularly where time and geographical distance are an issue

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
(Nardi B. A. and Whittaker S., 2002). Give some example, in maintaining a
long-distance friendship, face-to-face communication was only the fourth
most common way of maintaining ties, after telephone, email, and instant
messaging (Wright K.; Webb L. 2011). The information is from Gonçalves
and Ferreira et. al (2014) states that several studies suggest that data
processor -mediated communication or Virtual Communication can lead-in
to decreases in group effectiveness and reduce satisfaction degree in terms
of trust and comfort of its users. Supported by an experimentation from
Gonçalves and Ferreira et. al (2014), where the emotional or affective
aspects of communication were tested with the experimentation of two
architectures, Direct Communicating Architecture (DCA) and the Virtual
Communication Architecture (VCA) this paper validates the thesis that, from
the users’ view , there is no Opposition to the acceptance of virtual
environments and interface for communication, and that these
environments are able to cope with the reconfiguration dynamics
requirements of virtual squad or customer -waiter relations in a virtual
enterprising cognitive process .
The study was made by McGrath S. (2012) showing how are new
media engineering science impacting on mixer fundamental interaction
within habitations. This written report examines the relationship between

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
new media technologies within the family and mixer interaction between
individuals. It explores how new media technologies such as, “telecasting
games, computer games, the internet and e-postal service” This work set
out to explore if new media technologies within the base are serving to bring
different generations of the family or a household together or if it is leading
to an increasing privatization within the household. Empirical data was
received from four cause studies which involved participant observation and
semi structured interviews. The qualitative data obtained show that new
media technologies are negatively impacting on mixer interaction between
individuals within the household. Firstly, it emerged that new media
technologies are immersed into the household and into the daily routines of
individuals. Secondly, it became known that there is a close correlation
between the locating of new media technologies within the home and social
interaction. In addition, the main findings to emerge from the research
process discovery that new media technologies within the home are leading
to increased social isolation and a privatisation of people’s lives within the
household.
According to DiMaggio, Hargittain, Neuman, and Robinson (2001),
the Internet is defined as the “electronic network of networks that links

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
people and information through computers and other digital devices
allowing person-to-person communication and information retrieval.”
According to Collister L. (2013) Little work must be done to the identity
formation through other web design communities the other web design
communities and visual interfaces of cyberspace. The virtual world, where
interface environment, online identity makes the internet the ideal world
among for human being. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the
Internet, history’s largest human artefact, has contributed to both
developing and destabilizing representations of identity, increasing the
materials available, their accessibility, and opportunities for deception.
Communication in Reality
According to Jones, Jr. (2013), communication in the Real World can
be used in “hybrid” courses that cover some combination of communication
foundations, interpersonal communication, group communication, and
public communication. In addition to these typically covered content areas,
and includes a unit on Mass Media, New Media, and Communication that
explores fundamentals of mass communication and emerging technologies.
According to David C.J and, David M. et al (1994) Face-to-face
interaction is defined as the mutual influence of individuals’ direct physical
presence with his/her body language. Janet Sternberg (2012) Face-to-face

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
interaction is one of the basic elements of the social system, forming a
significant part of individual socialization and experience gaining throughout
one's lifetime. Adam Kendon et.al. (1975). Similarly, it is also central to the
development of various groups and organizations composed of those
individuals. According to Agrawal AJ (2017) he said about teenagers, as a
group that’s become the dominant force in the workforce, researchers
applaud their smarts on tech, social media, and even the age-old practice
of branding. Yes, millennials might arguably be one of the overall most
intelligent generations to come around. However, that’s not to say they still
don’t have a lot to learn, especially when it comes to face-to-face
communication.
As the generation that grew up with communication becoming more
efficient via digital, their biggest strength could also be a critical weakness.
While the way they say things has become more direct, their messages
sometimes lack. Face-to-face communication also helps to build
collaborative environments that inspire and energise friends to participate
in class, brainstorming sessions and more. These environments foster
engagement and innovation, which is important for employee satisfaction
as well as community culture and growth.

Relationships that previously were established and sustained mainly
through face-to-face interaction have come to be complemented by a social
technology that is creating a new type of interpersonal relationship (Fulk
and Ryu (1990), face-to-face communication particularly among family
members, friends, classmates and teachers.

Communication in Virtual VS. Reality
The nature of communication has changed significantly over the last
few decades with the advent of the Internet and mobile communications.
When communicating in Reality is one of the basic elements of the social
system, forming a significant part of individual’s socialisation and
experience gaining throughout one’s life time.
Some argue that Virtual communication has an overall negative
effect on teenager’s relationships. Virtual communication takes time away
from face-to-face/Reality communication, weakening relationships, and
encouraging weak relationships at the expense of strong ones (Kraut et al.,

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
1998). In contrast, others argue that online communication has a positive
effect on relationships. In particular, the stimulation or increase hypothesis
proposes that online communication builds up and augments existing social
ties, thus helping to strength relationships. For example, the authors of
(PEW Internet and American Life Project, 2000) said “This survey provides
clear evidence that e-mail and the Web have enhanced users’ relationships
with their family and friends—results that challenge the notion that the
Internet contributes to isolation”.
The fundamental truth is that, nothing can replace the value of
Communication in Reality. Nardi and Whittaker (2002) noted that many
theorists imply that face-to-face communication particularly in the context of
the media richness theory where face-to-face communication or in Reality
is described as the efficient and informative one. This, according to them is
explained due to the fact that face-to-face communication engages more
human senses that mediated communication. Acacio (2012) recognised the
followings as some of the ingredients that distinguish the face-to-
face/Reality communications among other forms of communication; first,
effectiveness of meaning-Things gets done when there is an issue that
requires a decision. Face-to-face interaction enables people to reach
conclusion more quickly. One simple five minutes’ face-to face interaction
CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
would eliminate fifteen (15) minutes back and forth e mail. When there are
many people in a meeting there with face-to-face communication, there will
be more energy and opportunities to participate and creatively contribute.
Second, non-verbal Communication- Reacting and adjusting to non-verbal
ones, someone who is frequently checking his wristwatch or yearning would
tell you very easily that it is time to wrap things up. Third, Personal Touch-
Face-to-face interaction enabled personal touch that enhances the feeling
of community; sense of belonging and deeper sense of appreciation is
expressed with ease through the personal touch.
The implications of accessing the Internet for the amount and quality
of human interaction as observed by Matussitz (2007) can be profound. In
fact, not only can the opportunities for human interactions on the Internet
develop a sense of immersion and social engagement far different from
whatever sensory or motor realism can provide (Scehiano, 1999), but, also,
our collective behaviour has changed because of instant or anonymous
interaction as it is in cyberspace. This, in effect, can diminish the quality of
human interaction in normal, physical settings.
The more teenagers rely on the Internet to interact with others, the
less they engage in normal conversation in Reality with people or the less
competent they become at communicating with others which has negative

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
impacts on the quality of human interactions (McKenna, Green and Gleason
2002).
Internet Technology as a Modern Means of Communication
The Internet provides an opportunity for Teenagers to establish a
sense of belonging. According to interviews with teens by Wolcott (1999),
the Internet equals freedom for some teens and gives a sense of
independence. The Internet, also called the “virtual world” or “cyberspace”
according to Matussitz (2007)
According to Matussitz (2007) is both an environment and a complex
system that is created and architected for the act of signification to take
place, sees the Internet as a combination of textual interactions and virtual
worlds that enable global communication among humans. Most traditional
communication media including telephone, music, films and television are
reshaped by the Internet giving birth to a new service of media. The internet
is fast becoming a natural background part of everyday life of teenagers. In
2002, more than 600 million people worldwide had access to the internet
and over 3.7 Billion Internet User in the World in 2015 (Manasians, 2003;
Statista, 2015). Turrow &Kavenough (2003) noted that children now grow
up with the Internet, they and future generation will take it for granted just
as they do now to television and the telephone. Gross et al (2002) noted

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
that in California 13-year-olds use their home computer and mobile phones
to chat and exchange instant messages with their school friends. According
to (Bargh and McKenna, 2004) no one today disputes the fact that the
Internet is likely to have significant impacts on social life, but there remains
substantial disagreement as to the nature and values of this impact. Several
scholars have contended that Internet communication is an impoverished
and sterile form of social exchange compared to traditional face-to- face
interactions. And will therefore produce negative outcomes such as
loneliness and depression for its users as well as weaken the family ties.
Gumpert and Drucker (1998) claimed that home environment after
the introduction of a new technology or a new media development was very
important because this space could be influenced by the changes in societal
and communication ways. They argued that the new domestic technologies
could affect social interaction in the home environment in two ways:
facilitate the interaction or substitute for the interaction between people.
DiMaggio et al. (2001) defined the “digital divide” as “inequalities in access
to the Internet, extent of use, knowledge of search strategies, quality of
technological connections and social support, ability to evaluate the quality
of information, and diversity of uses.”

Communication can be defined as the process of transmitting
information and common understanding from one person to another
(Keyton, 2011). It is the creation or exchange of thoughts, ideas, emotions,
and understanding between sender and receiver. It is essential to building
and maintaining relationships with friends. Akua Ahyia Adu-Oppong (2014)
said Once a memorandum, letter, fax, or e-mail has been sent, many are
inclined to believe that communication has taken place. However,
communication does not occur until information and understanding have
passed between sender and the intended receiver.
To make oneself understood as intended is an important part of
communication. A receiver may hear a sender but still not understand what
the sender’s message means. Being constantly engaged in encoding and
decoding messages does not ensure that an administrator is an expert in
communication. Understanding is a personal matter between people, and
different people may interpret messages differently. If the idea received is
not the one intended, communication has not taken place; the sender has
merely spoken or written.
Teenager’s Time Use
According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the detailed information
in the American Time Use Survey, the way adolescents spend their time
CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
can strongly influence their health later in life. For youth to maintain a
healthy future, they need plenty of sleep; good nutrition; regular exercise;
and time to form relationships with family, friends, and caring adults.
It’s important to remember that, just as teenagers need to have good
boundaries and rules for offline behaviour, and the guidance and morals to
make good decisions, they also need these things to protect them when
online. Two hours used to be the golden rule for the amount of screen time
young people should be allowed per day. A 2011–12 study by the
Australian Bureau of Statistics indicated that young people aged from 5 to
17 years spend, on average, just over 2 hours per day on screen-based
activity, compared to 1.5 hours per day on physical activity. More recent
statistics on Teenage internet use (2014–15) indicate that 15- to 17-year-
olds spend an average of 18 hours per week online (just over 2 hours per
day), are most likely to use the internet for social networking (91 per cent),
entertainment (73 per cent) and formal education activities (73 per cent).
It’s more important to set limits on recreational screen time, and to
focus on the quality of what teenagers are doing on their devices. All of us,
especially young people, need to learn how to exercise moderation in the
things we spend time on. Some teenagers will do spending a lot of time
connecting with their friends on social media. As the Internet has begun to
CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
take time from teenager’s daily schedule, it is interesting to see how much
time teenager spend on each media activity. The primary reason for going
online was to obtain information quickly, for work, and access to e-mail.
Sending and receiving e-mail is the most common Internet activity among
teenagers. Also, instant messages are one of the Internet activities that
many users do online (Nie, & Erbring, 2000; UCLA Center for
Communication Policy, 2001). Internet research by Pew Research Center
(2001) showed that about 20% teens used instant message as a way of
contacting friends.
Internet became a supplemental communication medium. But it’s
important to support them to balance that with face-to-face time with people,
and to make sure they leave enough time in their week for physical exercise,
learning, and other types of play.

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
SYNTHESIS
The more teenagers rely on the Internet to interact with others, the
less they engage in normal conversation in Reality with people or the less
competent they become at communicating with others which has negative
impacts on the quality of human interactions (McKenna, Green and Gleason
2002).
Teenagers nowadays, are accessing and searching Internet almost
of their every day. With the rise and continues movements of technology,
Internet is one of the useful invention up to this day. It contains most of
information needed by its user. The primary reason for going online was to
obtain information quickly, for entertainments, and access to e-mail or
instant messages. Internet became a supplemental communication
medium. Teenagers need to have good boundaries and rules for offline
behaviour, and the guidance and morals to make good decisions and
communications. Teenagers must need to learn how to exercise
moderation in the things we spend time on. Understanding is a personal
matter between people, and different people that may interpret messages
differently. According to Keyton (2011), Communication is defined as the
process of transmitting information and common understanding from one
person to another for building and maintaining relationships.

Chapter III
Research Methodology
This chapter will show the analysis on the research methodology of
the study, the participants, sampling technique, research instruments,
procedure of data gathering, and statistical treatment that will be use for
accurate data analysis and interpretation.
Research Design
The approaches used in this study are Descriptive and Quantitative
Research. These two approaches were chosen for finding it easy and
efficient for conducting this study. Descriptive Research is used in this study
to describe the Comparison of Virtual and Reality in-terms of
Communication, among Teenagers that spending too much of their time on
the Internet. Quantitative Research is then used to describe the statistical
and analytical calculation of the data collected from the survey of this study.
The Survey will be the main tool to obtain the vital information needed.
Respondents of the Study
The entire population of Teenagers in AMA Computer College
Biñan Campus would be far too many to include in the study, therefore
there was a need to draw an appropriate population to be sampled. The
researcher purposely targeted a group of selected senior high school

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
students to be reliable for the research. In this Study, ICT students from
grade 11-12 Programming were randomly selected from each of the
classrooms.

Sampling Technique
For the respondent’s selection, this study will apply a non-probability,
specifically the purposive sampling technique that qualifies the
respondent’s age.
Respondents must possess these following criteria:
1. Respondents must be Teenagers who take Programming
Strand from Grades 11-12 in AMA Computer College Biñan
Campus.
2. Age must range from sixteen (16) to eighteen (18) years old.
Research Instruments
Researchers used Survey – Questionnaire to enable to achieved the
objectives throughout the study. Two scales will be used in this study: first,
T-test (William Sealy Gosset, 1905), Second, Likert Scale (Saul McLeod,
2008).
STUDENT’S TEST (T TEST)- A t-test is a type of inferential statistic which
is used to determine if there is a significant difference between the
means of two groups which may be related in certain features. It is
mostly used when the data sets, like the set of data recorded as
outcome from flipping a coin a 100 times, would follow a normal
distribution and may have unknown variances. T test is used as a

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
hypothesis testing tool, which allows testing of an assumption
applicable to a population (William Sealy Gosset, 1905).
Likert Scale- According to Saul McLeod (2008), Likert in 1932) developed
the principle of measuring attitudes by asking people to respond to a
series of statements about a topic, in terms of the extent to which
they agree with them, and so tapping into the cognitive and affective
components of attitudes. A Likert-type scale assumes that the
strength/intensity of experience is linear. Used to allow the individual
to express how much they agree or disagree with a particular
statement. Respondents may be offered a choice of five to seven or
even nine pre-coded responses with the neutral point being neither
agree nor disagree.
Procedures of Data Gathering
These are the following step by step information and operations in
collecting the data that must acquire for the said research:
1. The researchers will gather data for each ten students for
each section from the Programming Strand, from Grades 11-12 from
AMA Computer College Binan Campus.
2. Tests administration will be done upon the availability of
schedule of both respondents and researchers.

CAMPUS
02-475-22-92 * 0915-506-8951
3. Researchers will prepare assent forms which will serve as the
researcher’s permission during the test.
4. All respondents will be given a set of standardized tests that
includes.
Statistical Treatment of Data
The following statistical treatments will be used for the interpretation
of data:
Arithmetic Mean: It is the average value of all the raw scores obtained by
summing and dividing by the total item of each scales.
Standard Deviation: Will be used to obtain the respondents’ level of time
spend on internet on how they communicate in Reality.
Pearson-r: Measures the strength of the association between the two
variables. It will be used to determine the relationship between Virtual and
Reality Communication of the respondents.
Linear Regression: It is used to predict the value of Virtual Communication
based on the value of Reality Communication.

frequency of 188 or 88.7% of the population while the 19-20 had a
frequency of 24 or 11.3%. It is clear that most of our respondents are
Teenagers.
2. Majority of respondents use internet more than 4 hours per day. It only
concludes that Teenagers elevate their time spending on internet, but they
cannot begin a new activity without decreasing time when teens starting to
use the Internet.
3. 74% of teenagers use internet more than-once a day, it shows that
internet have grasped Teenagers in such a way that they just cannot survive
without it. Internet is vital and convenient to get information and perform
task.
4. The respondents have positive attitudes towards to the effect of internet
in terms of communication in virtual, nevertheless it gives negatively effect
on significant relationship and cause of misunderstanding.
5. The respondents strongly agreed in Addiction which it is a real thing. Most
people thing can be done on internet; the trouble comes when these
activities start to interfere with daily life. However, the respondents had a
negative attitude towards too much Internet that affects communication in
Reality, that concludes teenagers don’t agree on Internet affects too much
on communication in Reality.

RECOMMENDATIONS
In view of the findings and conclusions of the study, the following
recommendations are hereby presented.
1. The researchers recommend that teenagers must pursue alternative
activities and get yourself interest on doing your hobby that doesn’t involve
the internet. Get involved with teams, sports, church, music, dancing,
singing etc.
2. Prioritize what things need to be done, and do your obligations first rather
than procrastinating with internet. List down your everyday TO-DO to help
you stay focus and organize.
3. Make a quality time with your friends and family. Use everyday time
together to talk, make your decisions together, set time for regular family
nights, and doing chores.
4. Have one-on-one time with each family member. Parents also must
support and help them to exercise moderation and balance in the things
teens spend time on.
5. Strong relationship have good communications. Share your thoughts with
your friends specially with your family, teens must learn how to open
communication where you can be heard and respected. Give time to
