“This questionnaire was adapted and modified from the survey instrument published in the
European Scientific Journal (August 2017, Vol. 13, No. 23), which included social media usage
questions and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965). The instrument was revised to suit the
variables of the present study: the independent variable (social media usage) and the dependent
variable (students’ self-esteem). Some items were reworded for contextual relevance while
maintaining the original structure and format of the source instrument.”
