Los estilos de socialización parental y su relación con el uso problemático de internet en adolescentes

Abstract

Parental socialization styles are the behaviors transmitted from parents to children and that shape their way of acting in certain situations; such as the incorrectly use of the internet that can cause significant impairments. The study aims to identify the relationship between the types of parental socialization styles and the risk of problematic internet use in teenagers. The research is quantitative, correlational scope, non-experimental design and cross-sectional. The population consists of 90 teenagers, 42 women and 48 men. The parental socialization styles Scale and the Problematic internet use Scale for adolescents were applied. The results show that there is no significant correlation between the two variables. It was found that the predominant parental style in the mother is the authoritative 42.50% and in the father the indulgent style 47.50%. In the problematic use of the internet, it was found that 42.33% presents a low risk and 56.70% a high risk. Regarding gender, it was determined that there are no significant differences in the problematic use of the internet. Therefore, there may be other determining aspects that can influence the problematic use of the internet.
