Resumo: | The growing use of social networking sites places them among the most popular online activities. In particular, Facebook is gaining increasing numbers of users. For some individuals, such activity can develop into addictive online behaviour. The main objective of this study was to assess the influence of sociodemographic (e.g., gender, age), individual (e.g., differentiation of self), and family (e.g., family communication) factors on Facebook addiction in Portuguese emerging adults aged between 18 and 30 years. The study included 403 participants, who followed a protocol in which several instruments were administered (e.g., COMPA, BSI, DSI-R, and BFAS). The results showed higher Facebook use and a higher risk of addiction in individuals with the following characteristics: (1) female gender; (2) aged between 24 and 30 years; (3) lower differentiation of self; (4) physically or emotionally distanced from significant others (emotional cut-off); and (5) negative communication patterns with their parents. An association was also found between other psychopathological indicators (e.g., depression, anxiety, and interpersonal sensitivity) and Facebook use. Thus, the present study contributes to the field of research on online addictions and has implications for prevention and clinical intervention. |

Facebook, en particular, está ganando más y más usuarios y para algunas personas puede convertirse en un comportamiento adictivo on-line. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue evaluar la influencia de factores sociodemográficos (e.g., género, edad), individuales (e.g., diferenciación del self) y familiares (e.g., comunicación familiar) en la adicción a Facebook, dentro de la población portuguesa de adultos emergentes (edad entre 18-30). Para este propósito, se recolectó una muestra de 403 participantes y se aplicó un protocolo con varios instrumentos (por ejemplo, COMPA, BSI, DSI-R, BFAS). Los resultados mostraron que las personas: (1) mujeres, (2) con edades comprendidas entre 24 y 30 años, (3) con menor diferenciación del self, (4) que se distancian física o emocionalmente de otras personas importantes (corte emocional) y ( 5) quienes usan un patrón negativo de comunicación con sus padres muestran un mayor uso de Facebook y un mayor riesgo de adicción. También se analizaron otros indicadores psicopatológicos (por ejemplo, depresión, ansiedad y sensibilidad interpersonal), revelando que están asociados con el adicción a Facebook. Por lo tanto, el presente estudio contribuye al campo de la investigación sobre las adicciones a internet y tiene repercusiones en la prevención y la intervención clínica.Universidad de Málaga2019info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10316/100463http://hdl.handle.net/10316/100463https://doi.org/10.24310/espsiescpsi.v12i2.9986eng1989-38091138-2635https://dx.doi.org/10.24310/espsiescpsi.v12i2.9986Sotero, LucianaVeiga, Gustavo Ferreira daCarreira, DanielaPortugal, AldaRelvas, Ana P.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-06-20T20:36:14Zoai:estudogeral.uc.pt:10316/100463Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T21:17:50.311682Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
