Incidencia del uso que los adolescentes dan a las redes sociales sobre la estructuración de creencias respecto a su autoconcepto.

Abstract

The present research addresses the problem of excessive use of social networks in adolescents by evaluating its impact on the perceptions they have about themselves. The research topic was the incidence of the use that adolescents give to social networks on the structuring of beliefs regarding selfconcept, since during this stage they are going through various changes and constructing their identity. For this reason, the population we worked with was adolescents. The objective of this work was to analyze the influence of the use of social networks on the formation of beliefs that affect the establishment of the self-concept of adolescents through a quantitative approach to develop work tools when intervening with this population. This approach allowed us to collect information through a bibliographic review and apply surveys to a group of adolescents. Both tools made it possible to confirm that there is a relationship between both variables, since the longer the time of use, the greater the impact on the identifications that the adolescent builds, in addition to creating habits and dependent behaviors that could trigger addictions. Finally, it was possible to determine that the impact of social networks on selfperception depends, to a large extent, on the frequency with which each individual uses them.
