“…On the other hand, the inadequate use of social networks has demonstrated an association with difficulties and problems in adolescence, such as depression, attention deficit syndrome with hyperactivity, insomnia, fewer total hours of sleep, a worse academic performance and school dropout (Arab & Díaz, 2015;Pedrero-Pérez et al, 2019). It has also been associated with a wide range of psychosocial problems that may, due to the existence of anonymity and a false identity, favour inadequate behaviour patterns, such as addictive use, cyber bullying, exhibitionism, aggressiveness or cheating, among others (Carballo, Marín-Vila, Espada, Orgilés & Piqueras, 2015;Ferreiro, Salgado, Harris, Tobío & Boubeta, 2017;Garaigordobil, 2017;Polo del Río, Mendo Lázaro, León del Barco & Felipe-Castaño, 2017). Therefore, analysing the use that we make of social networks is fundamental if we wish to know how it affects us, how we define ourselves and who we are (Haaf, 2012;Serrano-Puche, 2013), which in turn is linked to our interpersonal relationships, to how we relate to others.…”

Social networks provide new spaces in which to explore one’s identity and how it is presented to others. To do so, it is essential to study how they affect the construction of one’s self-concept and perceived affection in adolescence. The principal objective of this study was to analyse the congruence or incongruence of self-concept within (online) and outside (offline) the social networks and their relation to affect. The participants were 350 adolescents (41% males), between 14 and 19 years of age. They completed the AF-5 to evaluate self-concept and the PANANS to evaluate affect states or personal emotions. Both questionnaires were completed twice, taking into account online and offline situations. We found differences in all the dimensions of self-concept in 24% of the participants, and only in the social dimension in 51.4% of the participants. The participants who showed differences between their online and offline self-concept obtained higher scores in wellbeing in comparison to those who maintained similar self-concept. Social media allow adolescents to experiment with a different self-concept which influences their affect.

“…During recent years, ICT properties have been widely studied including the potential for addictive behavior related to their use (Kuss & Griffiths, 2012; Roberts, Yaya, & Manolis, 2014; Saldaña, 2001; Van Rooij & Prause, 2014) and the study of risk factors for ICT abuse (Carballo, Marín-Vila, Espada, Orgilés, & Piqueras, 2015; Kuss, Griffiths, Karila, & Billieux, 2014; Lam, 2014; Roberts & Pirog, 2012; Torrente, Piqueras, Orgiles, & Espada, 2014). However, there is no consensus on the nomenclature of the phenomenon, and efforts to assign it as a diagnostic category similar to pathological gambling have been unsuccessful.…”

Background and aimsThis study focuses on the use of popular information and communication technologies (ICTs) by adolescents: the Internet, mobile phones, and video games. The relationship of ICT use and experiential avoidance (EA), a construct that has emerged as underlying and transdiagnostic to a wide variety of psychological problems, including behavioral addictions, is examined. EA refers to a self-regulatory strategy involving efforts to control or escape from negative stimuli such as thoughts, feelings, or sensations that generate strong distress. This strategy, which may be adaptive in the short term, is problematic if it becomes an inflexible pattern. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore whether EA patterns were associated with addictive or problematic use of ICT in adolescents.MethodsA total of 317 students of the Spanish southeast between 12 and 18 years old were recruited to complete a questionnaire that included questions about general use of each ICTs, an experiential avoidance questionnaire, a brief inventory of the Big Five personality traits, and specific questionnaires on problematic use of the Internet, mobile phones, and video games.ResultsCorrelation analysis and linear regression showed that EA largely explained results regarding the addictive use of the Internet, mobile phones, and video games, but not in the same way. As regards gender, boys showed a more problematic use of video games than girls. Concerning personality factors, conscientiousness was related to all addictive behaviors.Discussion and conclusionsWe conclude that EA is an important construct that should be considered in future models that attempt to explain addictive behaviors.

“…The limitations of the study include the potential for a cross-sectional study and longitudinal studies. Likewise, to investigate the use of other addictions, such as alcohol and other drugs [ 60 ], problematic use of the mobile phone, eating disorders, compulsive spending [ 61 ], anxiety [ 62 ] would be of interest that may be influencing the profiles found.…”

The rise of technology has increased risks such as problematic internet use or cyberbullying. Data show that there is problematic use of the internet, which has important repercussions academically, personally, socially and for health. The objective of this study was to identify different profiles that vary according to intra- and interpersonal conflicts related to internet use. In addition, this study aimed to examine whether there are significant differences in bullying and cyberbullying among adolescents with a conflict related to internet use. The study participants were 810 students of Compulsory Secondary Education (M = 13.99, SD = 1.32). The Questionnaire on School Violence and the Questionnaire of Experiences Related to Internet was use. The latent profile analysis identified four different types of conflicts related to internet use: (a) high levels in intra- and interpersonal conflicts; (b) low levels intra- and interpersonal conflicts; (c) moderate intra- and interpersonal conflicts and (d) very high levels in intra- and interpersonal conflicts. The results of the study indicated that there were significant differences in the manifestations of school violence between the profiles. This study assists in educational programs to prevent conflicts related to internet use and school violence through emotional adjustment.
