Conductas en La Red Y Diferencias De Género en Población Adolescente / [Internet Behaviours and Gender Differences in Adolescent Population]

Abstract

Digital spaces offer new ways of establishing social relationships while providing new contexts for different forms of victimization. In this sense, the perception of risk in social networks is a key factor for the acquisition and maintenance of actions related to cybersecurity, directly related to safe and self-protective behaviours in an online environment. In order to analyse risk behaviours on Internet in adolescent populations and taking into account a gender perspective, we proposed a descriptive study. A sample of 128 participants (67 women and 61 males) from two schools from the province of A Coruña completed the Scale of Conducts on the Network.
