The formal and content validity of the questionnaires were confirmed and their reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha method 0.934, 0.970 and 0.834. For data analyzing by SPSS software and Amos software of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used. The results showed that media consumption had a positive and significant effect (P=0.001) on knowledge and understanding, communication with others and students' self-confidence.
