“…Cada pregunta es respondida de forma dicotómica (si/no), realizándose la interpretación a partir de su agrupación por escalas (internet, móvil, videojuegos, mensajería instantánea y redes sociales), contabilizándose el número de respuestas afirmativas para poder valorar el nivel de uso problemático en cada TIC. Este método de interpretación deviene del cuestionario CAGE (Dhalla y Kopec, 2007), un instrumento con características psicométricas conocidas y validez diagnóstica establecida (Rodríguez-Monje et al, 2019). Entre las interpretaciones encontramos: inexistencia de problemas, con una o ninguna respuesta afirmativa; uso problemático, con dos respuestas afirmativas; abuso, con tres respuestas afirmativas; dependencia, con cuatro respuestas afirmativas.…”

Los dispositivos móviles se están convirtiendo en una herramienta imprescindible en el día a día y en las relaciones entre el alumnado en los últimos años, gracias a sus usos y potencialidades. A pesar de ello, el uso excesivo e inadecuado puede conducir a síndromes de dependencia en algunos casos, un factor que se puede elevar debido a la situación de aislamiento provocada por la COVID-19. Este estudio pretende analizar el uso y abuso de las TIC en profesionales de la educación en formación, antes y después del confinamiento. Se ha utilizado un diseño longitudinal de panel con medidas pre-test y post-test, aplicando el instrumento validado MULTICAGE-

Abstract* Background Digital addictions are a major problem worldwide, which has increased considerably during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this scenario, two important impact factors to explain this problem are stress and anxiety because of COVID-19. The objective of this research was to determine the impact of distress and anxiety due to COVID-19 on digital addictions. Methods cross-sectional, explanatory study. A total of 802 students from public and private universities residing in the city of Lima and Callao (Peru), with a mean age of 21.68 (SD = 3.11), selected by convenience sampling, participated in the study. The MULTICAGE CAD-4 questionnaire, the distress scale, and the COVID-19 worry scale were applied. Results two models examined with structural equation modeling showed good fit indices (CFI and TLI > .95, RMSEA and SRMR < .06). The first model shows that the latent variables distress and anxiety due to COVID-19 have direct effects on digital addictions as a general construct (R2 = 22%). The second model shows that the exogenous latent variables (stress and anxiety) have direct effects of different magnitudes on each digital technology, so the variance explained on smartphone addiction was higher (R2 = 25%) with respect to internet (R2 = 19%) and video game addiction (R2 = 6%). It was also found that for every male, there are two females with high levels of distress and anxiety. Regarding the problematic use of smartphones and internet, there is a prevalence of 40% regardless of sex; but as for the problematic use of video games, there is a marked difference between males (18.8%) and females (2.7%). Conclusion the distress and anxiety caused by COVID-19 have a direct impact in aggravating digital addictions.

The compulsive habit model proposed by Everitt and Robbins has accumulated important empirical evidence. One of their proposals is the existence of an axis, on which each a person with a particular addiction can be located depending on the evolutionary moment of his/her addictive process. The objective of the present study is to contribute in addressing the identification of such axis, as few studies related to it have been published to date. To do so, the use/abuse of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) was quantified on an initial sample of 807 subjects. Questionnaires were also delivered to measure impulsivity, compulsivity and symptoms of prefrontal dysfunction. Evidence of the existence of the proposed axis was obtained by means of Machine Learning techniques, thus allowing the classification of each subject along the continuum. The present study provides preliminary evidence of the existence of the Impulsivity-Compulsivity axis, as well as an IT tool so that each patient that starts getting treatment for an addiction can be statistically classified as “impulsive” or “compulsive.” This would allow the matching of each person with the most appropriate treatment depending on his/her moment in the addiction/abuse process, thus facilitating the individualized design of each therapeutic process and a possible improvement of the results of the treatment.
