La muestra estuvo conformada por 755 estudiantes (361 hombres y 394 mujeres), cuyas edades se encontraban entre los 13 a 24 años (M = 17, DE = 2.93) y que asistían a escuelas (62.2%) o universidades privadas (33.8%). Se analizó la estructura interna de la ERA-RSI, su relación con otras variables (validez convergente) y la fiabilidad por consistencia interna. Los resultados del Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) indican una estructura de cuatro dimensiones con adecuados índices de bondad de ajuste en la muestra de adolescentes escolares (x2/gl = 2.94, CFI = .93, TLI = .93 y RMSEA = .06) y universitarios (x2/gl = 2.59, CFI = .98, TLI = .98 y RMSEA = .07). Además, se evidencia la consistencia interna de la escala en el grupo de escolares (ω = 41. a .76), así como, en la muestra de universitarios (ω = .63 a .89). Por su parte, la validez de convergencia se realizó con el Cuestionario de Adicción a las Redes Sociales (ARS) y se encontró, entre las dimensiones de ambas pruebas, correlaciones positivas, estadísticamente significativas y de magnitud fuerte. En conclusión, la ERA-RSI cuenta, en general, con adecuadas evidencias empíricas de validez y fiabilidad. / The objective of this research was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Scale of Risk of Addiction-adolescent to Social Networks and Internet (ERA-RSI) in students of Metropolitan Lima. The sample consisted of 755 students (361 men and 394 women), whose ages ranged from 13 to 24 years (M = 17, SD = 2.93) and who attended schools (62.2%) or private universities (33.8%). The internal structure of the ERA-RSI, its relationship with other variables (convergent validity), and the reliability by internal consistency were analyzed. The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) indicate a four-dimensional structure with adequate goodness-of-fit indices in the sample of school adolescents (x2 / gl = 2.94, CFI = .93, TLI = .93 and RMSEA = .06) and university students (x2 / gl = 2.59, CFI = .98, TLI = .98 and RMSEA = .07). Also, the internal consistency of the scale is evidenced in the group of schoolchildren (ω = 41. to .76), as well as, in the sample of university students (ω = .63 to .89). For its part, the convergence validity was performed with the Social Media Addiction Questionnaire (ARS), and positive, statistically significant, and strong correlations were found between the dimensions of both tests. In conclusion, the ERA-RSI generally has adequate empirical evidence of validity and reliability. / Tesis

Solicitud de embargo por publicación en revista indexada. / El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la relación entre la adicción a las redes sociales y la soledad en estudiantes universitarios en Lima Metropolitana. La muestra estuvo conformada por 146 estudiantes de nueve universidades privadas de Lima, el 56.1% fueron mujeres y el 43.9% hombres; el rango de edad de los participantes fue de 18 a 30 años, y la edad promedio de 23 años. Se les aplicó el Cuestionario de Adicción a Redes Sociales (ARS) y la Escala de Soledad de De Jong Gierveld. Los resultados indican que la soledad social se relaciona positiva y significativamente con las dimensiones de: obsesión por las redes sociales y falta de control en el uso de las redes sociales; mientras que la soledad emocional correlaciona positiva y significativamente con las tres dimensiones de adicción a las redes sociales. En cuanto a la comparación de los resultados del ARS y de la escala de soledad a través del sexo, no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los datos, a excepción de una dimensión del ARS. Estos hallazgos podrían contribuir en el diseño de talleres informativos y de prevención sobre la adicción a las redes sociales. / The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between addiction to social networks on loneliness in university students in Lima. The sample consisted of 146 students from nine private universities in Lima, of which 56.1% were women and 43.9% were men; the age range of the participants was 18 to 30 years, and the average age of the participants was 23 years. The Social Network Addiction Questionnaire (ARS) and the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale were applied to them. Among the results, it was found that the social loneliness is positively and significantly related to the dimensions of obsession with social networks and lack of control in the use of social networks. On the other hand, it was found that emotional loneliness has positively and significantly correlated with the three dimensions of the addiction variable to social networks. / Tesis

No. of bitstreams: 1 Sonia Maria da Silva Balão.pdf: 990062 bytes, checksum: d661de8299c0d3453ea314d82c5dbbd6 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-06-20 / Nowadays, a great number of young people present themselves in clinic with complaints of a lonely and isolated personal life, with an affective-social withdrawal and impoverishment, sadness, hopelessness, anguish, internal guilt, helplessness, lack of will to live, cranky, self agressive and self-multilation behaviors. These factors, beyond worrying, point to pathology and to complex emotional difficulties. Another common feature of these young patients is to dedicate a lot of time to the virtual world instead of real life. On the social network, they have a group of lots of friends and dedicate a lot of their time with unknown people. This clear dissociation between the cloistered real life and the active virtual life demands questioning the social network role and think its excessive use as a way of psychological defense. Therefore, through the case study of a 16 years old young woman (when she begins the analysis), this research project proposes to understand this dissociation and its possible relation of the phenomenon to some psychopathology, specially depression, covering the contradictory way of the young people to have a depressive, apathetic and isolated existence in real life and manifest themselves vitally, interactively and intensely in social networks. The theorical basis of this investigation is the Winnicott’s Theory of Personal Maturity and the focus was on the articulation between the clinical case and the theory through the theoretical-methodological research and the research-listening. Reports from the patience, written by the psychologist during her three first years of psychological treatment and WhatsApp and Facebook messages given by the patience were all the valid corpus for this investigation. By avoiding contact with the loneliness that her illness aroused, the patient presented herself to treatment incapacitated to be alone and think about herself. Because of the lack of limits, she made use of the virtual world and isolated herself from shared reality. With psychic action from the analytic process, she started to stay connected to the cyber world while she needs, returning to the real world whenever she feels strengthened. Therefore, based on the analysis of the results of this clinical case, the use of communication in social networks by young depressive people is based on a paradox: the defense of the maniac type by the performance of the false self, to avoid depressive psychopathology, and, at the same time, the attempt to be cured by the new possibilities when the patient can experience the false self in consigning thru it the emersion of the true self / Atualmente, muitos jovens apresentam-se em consultório com queixas de uma vida pessoal solitária e isolada, com retraimento e empobrecimento afetivo-social, tristeza, desesperança, angústia, culpabilidade interna, desamparo, falta de vontade de viver e comportamentos irritadiços, autoagressivos e de automutilação, fatores esses que, além de preocupantes, apontam para uma possível patologia e para dificuldades emocionais complexas. Outra característica comum a esses jovens pacientes é dedicarem muito tempo ao mundo virtual em detrimento do real. Nas redes sociais, têm um grande grupo de amigos virtuais e dedicam muito tempo à interação com desconhecidos. Essa clara dissociação entre a vida real enclausurada e a vida virtual ativa impõe questionar o papel das redes sociais como uma forma de defesa psicológica. Frente a isso, a partir do estudo do caso clínico de uma jovem que, no início da análise, tinha 16 anos, esta pesquisa propõe compreender essa dissociação e a possível relação do fenômeno com alguma psicopatologia, em especial a depressão, abrangendo o modo contraditório dos jovens de ter um existir depressivo, apático e isolado na vida real e de se manifestarem de maneira vitalizada, interativa e intensa nas redes sociais. O fundamento teórico deste estudo é a Teoria do Amadurecimento Pessoal de Winnicott e o enfoque principal foi a articulação do caso clínico com a teoria por meio da pesquisa teórico-metodológica (pesquisa-investigação) e da pesquisa-escuta. Relatos da paciente anotados pela psicóloga em seus três primeiros anos de tratamento e mensagens de WhatsApp e de Facebook fornecidas pela paciente constituíram o corpus de base da pesquisa. Ao evitar contato com a solidão que seu adoecimento despertava, a paciente apresentou-se para tratamento incapaz de se manter sozinha e refletir sobre si mesma e, por não encontrar limites, fez uso patológico do mundo virtual, afastando-se da realidade compartilhada. Com a evolução psíquica a partir do processo analítico, ela passou a se conectar ao mundo cibernético dentro de sua necessidade, retornando ao mundo real sempre que se sentia fortalecida. Desse modo, a partir da análise desse caso clínico, chegou-se ao resultado de que o uso da comunicação nas redes sociais pelos jovens depressivos baseia-se num paradoxo: a defesa maníaca pela atuação do falso self, a fim de evitar o sofrimento da psicopatologia depressiva, e, ao mesmo tempo, a tentativa de cura por meio de novas experiências que o paciente pode vivenciar quando o falso self cede e consente a emersão do self verdadeiro

Studies show that some individuals are losing control of time, neglecting their basic hygiene care, social interaction, causing significant losses in their relationships, academic and professional activities. Objectives: The objective of the study was to verify the prevalence of Internet addiction in undergraduate students from two public and private universities and a Federal Institute in the city of Pelotas and to investigate associated factors. Methods: A crosssectional and randomized study was performed using the following instruments: International Addiction Test, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Games Dependency Questionnaire. Results: The prevalence of internet addiction was 41.7%, being inversely proportional to age. There was a significant correlation with depression, those who presented changes in screening tests for depression had a prevalence of internet addiction 83% higher. Three out of ten university students presented daytime somnolence and 3% of the sample were classified as at risk for gambling dependence. There is a correlation between consumption of hypercaloric foods, alcohol use and sedentary lifestyle, and dependence on the internet. Conclusion: The dependence of internet on university students is a reality that needs to be approached in an interdisciplinary way, since it compromises the physical and mental health of these young people. / Introdução: A internet apresenta inúmeras funcionalidades e está totalmente integrada à sociedade moderna. Estudos evidenciam que alguns indivíduos estariam perdendo o controle do tempo, negligenciando seus cuidados básicos de higiene, convívio social, acarretando prejuízos significativos em seus relacionamentos, atividades acadêmicas e profissionais. Objetivos: O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a prevalência de dependência de internet em estudantes universitários dos cursos de graduação de duas universidades, pública e privada, e de um Instituto Federal na cidade de Pelotas e investigar fatores associados. Métodos: Foi realizado estudo transversal e randomizado, sendo utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: International Addiction Test, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory, Epworth sleepness scale e Game Addiction Scale. Resultados: A prevalência de dependência de internet foi de 41,7%, sendo inversamente proporcional à idade. Verificou-se uma correlação significativa com depressão, aqueles que apresentaram alterações nos testes de triagem para depressão tiveram uma prevalência de dependência de internet 83% maior. Três em cada dez universitários apresentaram sonolência diurna e 3% da amostra foram classificados como em risco para dependência de jogos. Existe uma correlação entre o consumo de alimentos hipercalóricos, uso de álcool e sedentarismo e dependência de internet. Conclusão: A dependência de internet em universitários é uma realidade que precisa ser abordada de uma maneira interdisciplinar, visto que compromete a saúde física e mental desses jovens.

The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the gaming behaviors of married individuals and couples who play Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game(s) (MMORPGs) including gaming addiction, time spent gaming, satisfaction in gaming participation, gaming interaction (between joint gaming spouses), and socio-demographic variables and the subsequent marital satisfaction levels of both individuals in the couple. Hypotheses were generally supported, excluding the hours spent gaming. 685 couples were separated and analyzed according to whether both individuals in the marriage gamed or just one individual gamed (couple-gaming type). Couples in which only one individual gamed (individual-gamer couples) had significantly lower marital satisfaction than all other groups and couples in which both gamed about the same amount of time (equal-gamers) held the highest marital satisfaction of the groups. Prediction models of marital satisfaction were determined for each couple-gaming type. The strongest predictions present in most of the models for marital satisfaction were the frequency that the couple retired to bed at the same time and the frequency that the couple quarreled specifically about gaming. Much MMORPG research has been presented on youth and adults, however to date there is no research on married gamers. Recent research on the video game habits of emerging adults called for further in depth investigation of the implications of video game use in the family formation stage of life.

The research project evolved from my concerns and those of parents and teachers about students’ inability to regulate their smartphone use in schools. A preliminary review of literature revealed growing concerns worldwide about adolescent smartphone dependence which was affecting students’ academic and social development, amongst many others. It also revealed the area of adolescents’ smartphone dependence to be scantly researched especially in developing countries. Hence, this study. The purpose of the study was to explore levels of smartphone dependence in adolescents at a private school in Myanmar. The study was set in a social constructivist framework and the methodology was qualitative in nature, incorporating a literature review. Participants were purposively selected. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, focus group discussions and questionnaires. The study found that the level of smartphone use at the school was a cause of concern for the stakeholders; adolescents at the target school could be considered dependent on their smartphones. Recommendations to reduce the adolescents’ total screen time were made. Further studies into the management of children’s smartphone use were recommended. / Educational Foundations / M. Ed.
