Resumen

El uso prolongado de las redes sociales está débilmente relacionado con síntomas de adicción. Sin embargo, el uso problemático de las redes sociales se asocia fuertemente con el uso activo, la comparación social y la angustia psicológica en adultos.

Área de la Ciencia:

Psicología
Ciencia del Comportamiento
Estudios de Medios Digitales

Sus antecedentes:

El uso excesivo de las redes sociales a menudo se equipara con las adicciones relacionadas con la tecnología.
Sin embargo, la evidencia sugiere que el uso prolongado puede tener asociaciones débiles con los síntomas de uso problemático.
La investigación sobre los factores psicológicos que diferencian el uso prolongado y problemático de las redes sociales en adultos es limitada.

Objetivo del estudio:

Investigar las asociaciones divergentes del uso prolongado y problemático de las redes sociales.
Examinar los roles del uso activo/pasivo y la angustia psicológica.
Analizar estas asociaciones en una muestra adulta representativa a nivel nacional.

Principales métodos:

Se utilizó un procedimiento híbrido de recopilación de datos (fuera de línea y en línea).
Se empleó el Modelado de Ecuaciones Estructurales (SEM).
Se recopilaron datos de 807 adultos húngaros.

Principales resultados:

Tanto el uso activo como el pasivo de las redes sociales predijeron un aumento del tiempo dedicado a las plataformas.
La gravedad del uso problemático de las redes sociales fue predicha por el uso activo, la comparación social y la angustia psicológica.
Los factores psicológicos explicaron el 58% del uso problemático, pero solo el 16% del tiempo dedicado a las redes sociales.

Conclusiones:

El uso prolongado y el uso problemático de las redes sociales parecen ser fenómenos distintos.
La angustia psicológica y la comparación social son factores clave en el uso problemático de las redes sociales.
Comprender estas diferencias es crucial para abordar los problemas de comportamiento relacionados con la tecnología.

Palabras clave:

The Representativeness Heuristic

The Representativeness Heuristic

The representative heuristic describes a biased way of thinking, in which you unintentionally stereotype someone or something. For example, you may assume that your professors spend their free time reading books and engaging in intellectual conversation, because the idea of them spending their time playing volleyball or visiting an amusement park does not fit in with your stereotypes of professors.

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Social Scripts

People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

Fundamental Attribution Error

Fundamental Attribution Error

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Social Traps

Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Social Facilitation

Social Facilitation

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.
