With the current media world we are living in, it is now more relevant than ever to know how much we are affected by the media we consume the most in our daily lives, social media. This isn’t an unknown phenomena and politicians all over the world knows this, and they have therefore put more effort to spread their information more on different platforms. How much are we affected by it and is it related to gullibility? A survey research was made on university students from all over the world. A total of 86 participants were used. A correlation between social media usage and political influence was found, but none with gullibility. Studies with other factors than gullibility could be of interest to use as a variable for future studies.
