Abstract

The use of Smartphones, Tablets and Social Networks has grown exponentially in recent years as a means of communicating, interacting, sharing and working collaboratively. Increasingly, young people are recognising that they are establishing a greater relationship with technologies for educational and leisure purposes, to meet new people, create new languages and even to become dependent on them. The aim of our study is to know, analyse and determine the degree of addiction of young people from twelve Spanish universities. To do this, we applied an adaptation of the "Social Media Addiction Scale-Student Form" (SMAS-SF, Sahin, 2018) which was answered by 1870 students from seven Autonomous Communities (Andalusia, Asturias, Castile-Leon, Catalonia, Galicia, Murcia and the Basque Country). The results obtained show significant differences between the young people of the different Autonomous Communities; moreover, the students do not perceive themselves as people addicted to technology and social networks.

年轻的大学生和科技成瘾者。在社会教育背景下使用社交网络

近年来，智能手机、平板电脑和社交网络作为一种交流、互动、分享和协同工作的工具，其使用呈指数级增长。越来越多的年轻人认识到，他们正在与技术建立更紧密的关系，用于教育和休闲目的，结识新朋友，创造新的语言，甚至变得依赖于技术。我们研究的目的是了解、分析和确定来自12所西班牙大学的年轻人的成瘾程度。为此，我们采用了“社交媒体成瘾量表-学生表格”(SMAS-SF, Sahin, 2018)的改编版，该表格由来自七个自治区(安达卢西亚，阿斯图里亚斯，卡斯蒂利亚莱昂，加泰罗尼亚，加利西亚，莫尔西亚和巴斯克地区)的1870名学生回答。所得结果显示，不同自治区青年群体间存在显著差异;此外，学生们并不认为自己是对科技和社交网络上瘾的人。
