Despite being a pressing issue, the role of personality traits in the adolescent use of social networks has not yet been researched empirically in Slovakia. The aim of this study is to increase knowledge about the relationship between the tendency to overuse social media, personality traits and self-esteem in a sample of Slovak adolescents. Furthermore, it also confirms the gender differences in the tendency of male and female adolescents to use social media in a risky way. The research sample comprised 284 Slovak adolescents aged between 15 and 20 years old (M = 17.88, SD = 1.67); 141 of the subjects were female. The data collection was carried out using the snowball method i.e., by means of a Facebook questionnaire. The study suggests the importance of personality factors such as neuroticism and conscientiousness in explaining the tendency to overuse social media. The role of personality traits and gender differences may be relevant for designing prevention activities and intervention programmes on risky social networking use in adolescence.

During time period 2009 - 2016 two interdisciplinary research projects were carried out with focus on the sociolinguistic situation of the Slovakian youth living in the Lowlands. Both projects were interconnected on the base of thematic orientation and methodology and focused on the language-communication behavior of the Slovakian youth in situational context of intra-ethnic use of spoken Slovak in Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, and Romania. The main instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire which consisted of questions oriented on the language/communication behaviour in the formal (public) and informal (family) settings. Obtained data were analysed in SPSS 21 statistical package. Results connected with language behaviour in the formal and informal environment confirmed majority of tendency to communicate very high. Slovak language usage is frequent in communication inside but also outside the school. Significant connection between age and communication outside school settings were confirmed - the younger group more frequently uses Slovak language in ordinary communication. Ethno-cultural indicator also reflected respondent’s predominantly positive attitudes to the national cultural development, mother tongue knowledge improvement, and minority school system development.
