Modern social media occupies a significant part of our daily lives and has become indispensable for social communication and quickly obtaining information. this study aimed to identify the extent to which social media influences the emergence of aggressive behaviour among children. using a descriptive approach and a random sample of 70 families from Abu Dhabi, the findings revealed that the average ratings of the study sample regarding the impact of social media use on children’s aggressive behaviour were generally 3.55, corresponding to a moderate level. excessive or unmanaged use of these platforms can have negative effects on children’s behaviour, including promoting aggressive behaviours such as cyberbullying. the results also indicated no differences between males and females in their susceptibility to aggressive behaviour influenced by social media use. The study also recommended the importance of enhancing the role of digital education for children through various schools and institutions with a focus on increasing educational and religious awareness among children.
