Abstract: Among the existing studies, there are fewer articles analysing the effects of TikTok on academic performance of Chinese university students, mostly analysing the physical and psychological effects on university students. Thus, the authors conducted the research on impact of the TikTok use of Chinese university students' academic performance. Data was collected from a university in the city of Taiyuan (China) by using a survey of 37 questions (n = 231). The results showed that positive effects of TikTok seemed to outnumber the negative effects among students. However, there were no statistically significant differences between the good and negative effects of TikTok on students' academic outcomes, according to the findings. We recommend that educators and students may use TikTok as a source of knowledge and communication to make the learning process easier and more effective.
