Abstract
Since the first social network's 1994 inception, especially among the younger generation, it has grown to be a significant and influential instrument for interpersonal contact. The generational cohorts that are members of the same age group have the same living circumstances and have similar life experiences. Economic, cultural, political, and social characteristics that are typical of a particular era have an impact on their lives and have an impact on how people see the world, behave, and think. The study's objective is to assess the connection between potential IA, character qualities, and self-esteem among young college students in Jaipur, Rajasthan. 624 college students from Jaipur, aged 19 to 27 (SD 2.91), made up the participants. The Neo Big-Five Inventory, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Young Internet Addiction Test, and Socio-demographic Questionnaire were among the study methodologies employed to gather the empirical data. Age, self-esteem, personality traits, and internet addiction among social network users were found to be negatively correlated. The study's findings pointed to the following generational differences. College students in Jaipur are substantially more addicted to the internet than older people are, and they have a disproportionately large number of friends on social media. Differences in gender were also discovered.
