“…Un primer grupo de trabajos ha intentado proporcionar datos epidemiológicos acerca del uso y actitudes hacia Internet de diferentes poblaciones, en especial estudiantes, jóve-nes y/o menores (Aslanidou y Menexes, 2008;DeBell y Chapman, 2003;Graner, Beranuy, Sánchez, Chamarro y Castellana, 2007;Ruiz-Olivares et al, 2010). Uno de los problemas de algunos de estos estudios suele residir en sus limitaciones muestrales, ya que habitualmente se centran en segmentos poblacionales específicos, limitando la validez externa de los resultados.…”

Resumen: Investigadores e instituciones han venido mostrando en los úl-timos años una creciente preocupación por el uso de Internet entre los adolescentes. Su impacto a nivel psicológico y conductual se traduce a menudo en la aparición de conductas de riesgo, fracaso escolar y problemas familiares. Habida cuenta del interés que el tema despierta a diferentes niveles, este trabajo se plantea con una doble intención: (1) disponer de datos que permitan conocer desde un punto de vista descriptivo cuáles son las actitudes, percepciones y hábitos de uso de Internet y las redes sociales entre los adolescentes y, (2) profundizar en su comprensión, contribuyendo así al diseño de estrategias que favorezcan un uso más racional y saludable de la Red. Sobre una encuesta a la población de escolares de Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria de la comunidad gallega, en la que participaron un total de 2339 individuos, los resultados obtenidos permiten constatar el alto grado de implantación de Internet en la población objeto de estudio y calibrar con datos empíricos la magnitud del problema. A pesar de que las cifras obtenidas no justifican una actitud alarmista, sí advierten de la necesidad de poner en marcha planes de acción concretos de manera inmediata. Palabras clave: Internet; redes sociales; adolescentes; nuevas tecnologías; ciberdependencia.Title: Attitudes, perceptions and Internet and social networks use among Galician (Spain) teens. Abstract: Researchers and institutions have shown an increasing concern about how adolescents might misuse the Internet. Its psychological and behavioral impact often translate into the emergence of risk behaviors, school failure and family problems. Given the interest that this issue has generated on an increasingly wider scale, the aim of this paper is twofold:(1) to provide data to determine, from a descriptive point of view, what exactly are the attitudes, perceptions and habits of adolescent Internet and social networks use and (2) a deeper understanding of the issue, contributing to the design of prevention and control strategies which will encourage a more rational and healthy Net use. On the basis of a survey of Compulsory Secondary School students from Galicia, which involved a total of 2339 individuals, the results obtained demonstrate the high level of Internet use penetration among the studied population and make it possible to gauge the magnitude of the problem with empirical data. Although the obtained numbers do not justify an alarmist attitude, they do indicate the need to implement specific action plans immediately. Key words: Internet; social networks; adolescents; new technologies; ciberdependence. IntroducciónHoy en día resulta difícil pensar en una sociedad sin las nuevas tecnologías. La telefonía móvil, Internet y las redes sociales tienen una presencia en nuestras vidas que no podría-mos imaginar hace tan solo una década. La realidad pone de manifiesto el papel que dichas herramientas han adquirido en el día a día de niños, adolescentes, jóvenes, adultos y mayores. Los dat...

“…A recent study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project (2005) indicated that close to 90% of students ages 12 to 17 use the Internet, with most students and their parents believing the Internet helps them do well in school. A survey by DeBell and Chapman (2001) indicated that 72% of adolescent students use the Internet for schoolwork. Indeed, it is quite possible that most students now lack a fundamental knowledge of library-based research methods, such as the Library of Congress Classification or the Dewey Decimal System.…”

“…4 Most of the recent research on children's use of technology and their online activities focus mainly on older children and teenagers. 5 Livingstone and Haddon (2008) argued that since use amongst younger children is growing fast and considering that they are more vulnerable to the inherent risk due to their lack of maturity and coping strategies, it is imperative for researchers to study children younger than 12 years old. Several research studies on children and computing have shown that children use home computers for various purposes, including leisure activities (e.g.…”
