Abstract: This research focused on the relationship between critical thinking disposition, stress levels, and social media activities among senior high school students. The main aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of critical thinking disposition, stress, and social media activities based on their specific indicators, examine the significant relationship between critical thinking disposition and social media activities, as well as the relationship between stress and social media activities, and identify which domains of critical thinking disposition and stress significantly influence students’ social media activities. A quantitative-correlational research design was employed with 270 senior high school students involved in the study. The study applied statistical methods, including mean, Spearman’s rho, and multiple regression analysis. Findings indicated that the level of critical thinking disposition was very high, the stress level was very high, and the social media activities level was very high; there was a significant relationship between critical thinking disposition and students’ social media activities, as well as between stress and students’ social media activities. Furthermore, one out of the seven domains of critical thinking disposition, two out of five domains of stress influenced the students’ social media activities. Therefore, critical thinking disposition and stress played a crucial role in predicting patterns and engagement in social media activities among senior high school students.
