Raw dataset of the impact of social media usage on the academic performance of university students in Bangladesh, with a particular focus on the mediating role of mental health

Data on the juncture of social media use, academic performance, and mental health among university students in developing countries like Bangladesh remains scarce. This dataset provides detailed information on social media usage patterns, academic outcomes, and levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness among university students. We believe this data can support researchers and policymakers in understanding the complex relationship between digital behavior and mental well-being, enabling the design of targeted interventions to promote healthier academic and psychological outcomes for students.
