Percepción de actitudes nocivas en el uso de las redes sociales en los jóvenes adolescentes

Resumo

The teenagers are immersed in social networks through their mobile devices. The objective of the research focuses on analyzing the perception of harmful attitudes among young adolescents in social networks. To do this, a sample of 202 students of compulsory secondary education level have been selected, to whom a mixed questionnaire (alpha 0.78) has been applied, from which the qualitative information units of the narrative of the key informants have been selected. The results show that students have perceived aggressions through insults and threats by sharing photographic files (46.03 %) in the main social networks such as Instagram (61.4 %) and WhatsApp (26.2 %). These aggressions suffered by students can be solved if a training in digital inclusion is developed from an early age. This will allow an adequate use of mobile devices and a communication and exchange of information in social networks from positive attitudes. It requires a digital inclusion of students for the critical use of the files they share through social networks.
