Abstract

espanolDesde hace algunos anos los estudiosos han venido explorando algunas de las consecuencias negativas que la rapida incorporacion de los telefonos inteligentes en nuestra vida ha tenido en el bienestar psicosocial de los usuarios. La mayoria de los estudios empiricos hasta la fecha son de corte transversal y se realizan con participantes de muestras de conveniencia, lo que ha sido una limitacion en este campo. En este estudio evaluamos la evolucion durante tres anos de la adiccion a telefonos inteligentes y el apoyo social en 241 usuarios espanoles de una muestra nacional representativa. Los resultados del analisis del modelado del crecimiento y modelado de la mezcla de crecimiento indican que ambas trayectorias estan interconectadas: a medida que aumenta la adiccion aumenta el apoyo social. Ademas, los altos niveles de adiccion y los niveles relativamente bajos de apoyo se mantuvieron estables en el tiempo en un grupo de usuarios. Los usuarios de este grupo de elevada adiccion representarian una tendencia en la sociedad digital caracterizada por mayores indices de soledad y dependencia tecnologica.

智能手机成瘾与社会支持:一项为期三年的纵向研究

几年来，西班牙学者一直在探索智能手机迅速进入我们生活对用户心理社会福祉的一些负面影响。到目前为止，大多数实证研究都是横向的，是在方便样本的参与者中进行的，这是这一领域的一个限制。在这项研究中，我们评估了来自全国代表性样本的241名西班牙用户三年来智能手机成瘾和社会支持的演变。增长建模和增长组合建模的分析结果表明，这两条轨迹是相互关联的：随着成瘾的增加，社会支持也会增加。此外，在一组用户中，高成瘾水平和相对较低的支持水平随着时间的推移保持稳定。这一高成瘾群体的用户将代表数字社会的一种趋势，其特点是孤独和技术依赖率较高。英语现在几年来，学者们一直在探索对心理社会福祉的一些负面影响-即智能手机迅速进入我们生活所造成的用户。到目前为止，大多数实证研究都是跨部门的，是与来自便利样本的参与者进行的，这在这一领域一直是一个限制。在这项研究中，我们评估了一个有代表性的国家样本中241名西班牙用户三年来智能手机成瘾和社会支持的演变。潜在增长和增长混合建模分析的结果表明，这两个轨迹是相互关联的：增加的次数越多，社会支持就越多。此外，一组用户的高成瘾水平和相对较低的支持水平随着时间的推移保持稳定。这一高成瘾群体的用户将代表数字社会的一种趋势，其特点是孤独和技术依赖程度较高。
