Abstract

The presence of technologies in all areas and stages of life increases the risk of addiction to devices, networks, and the use of various programmes. Excessive use of devices and technologies during childhood and adolescence has negative effects on neurodevelopment and causes emotional disorders related to anxiety, stress, and depression. These disorders can be associated with the development of other addictions (alcohol, psychoactive substances) or other situations of risk of social exclusion such as bullying, among others. In our study of the risk of social exclusion in adolescents (ÁVALOS, 2022) we have applied a complete diagnostic battery to 25 subjects of both sexes between 12 and 17 years of age focusing on six dimensions of risk: anxiety and depression, alcohol and other substance abuse, bullying, addiction to technologies, gender violence and risk behaviour in love and sexual relationships, and difficult family situation. The aim of this paper is to present and analyse the correlations found between each of the first three dimensions, and the technology addiction dimension as a predictor of other risk factors for social exclusion. The data show that addiction to video games, in particular, is related to high levels of depression, while addiction to any of the technologies studied (mobile, internet and video games) is significantly related to being a victim of bullying.

信息通信技术和社交网络在未成年人神经发育中的应用

在生活的所有领域和阶段，技术的存在增加了对设备、网络和使用各种程序上瘾的风险。在儿童和青少年时期过度使用电子设备和技术会对神经发育产生负面影响，并导致与焦虑、压力和抑郁相关的情绪障碍。这些障碍可能与其他成瘾(酒精、精神活性物质)的形成或其他有社会排斥风险的情况(如欺凌等)有关。在我们对青少年社会排斥风险的研究中(ÁVALOS, 2022)，我们对25名12至17岁的男女受试者进行了完整的诊断，重点关注六个方面的风险:焦虑和抑郁、酒精和其他药物滥用、欺凌、技术成瘾、性别暴力和恋爱和性关系中的风险行为，以及困难的家庭状况。本文的目的是呈现和分析前三个维度之间的相关性，以及技术成瘾维度作为社会排斥的其他风险因素的预测因子。数据显示，尤其是对电子游戏的沉迷与高度抑郁有关，而对所研究的任何技术(手机、互联网和电子游戏)的沉迷与成为欺凌的受害者有很大关系。
