Resumen
Este estudio exploró la relación entre el uso excesivo de redes sociales y los niveles de ansiedad en una muestra de 15 adolescentes de 15 a 17 años. A través de un diseño transversal, se aplicaron el cuestionario sobre adicción a las redes sociales (ARS) y el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck (BAI). Los resultados revelaron una alta prevalencia de adicción a las redes sociales y niveles significativos de ansiedad en los participantes. Estos hallazgos son consistentes con investigaciones previas que vinculan el uso problemático de las redes sociales con el deterioro del bienestar psicológico en adolescentes. Al comparar nuestros resultados con estudios similares (Chen, Y., Li, H., Zhang, Q., & Wang, J. 2020). encontramos similitudes en cuanto a la prevalencia de conductas adictivas, pero diferencias en la manifestación de problemas de salud mental. Si bien este estudio aporta evidencia sobre la asociación entre ambas variables, se reconocen las limitaciones del diseño transversal y el tamaño de la muestra. En conclusión, los resultados subrayan la importancia de desarrollar intervenciones para abordar el uso problemático de las redes sociales y promover la salud mental en adolescentes.
This study explored the relationship between excessive social network use and anxiety levels in a sample of 15 adolescents aged 15-17 years. Using a cross-sectional design, the social network addiction questionnaire (ARS) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were administered. The results revealed a high prevalence of social network addiction and significant levels of anxiety in the participants. These findings are consistent with previous research linking problematic social network use with impaired psychological well-being in adolescents. Comparing our results with similar studies (Chen, Y., Li, H., Zhang, Q., & Wang, J. 2020), we found similarities in the prevalence of addictive behaviours, but differences in the manifestation of mental health problems. While this study provides evidence on the association between the two variables, the limitations of the cross-sectional design and sample size are acknowledged. In conclusion, the results underline the importance of developing interventions to address problematic use of social networks and promote mental health in adolescents.
