    Nowadays, social networks are a circumstantial tool for communication and social development of people, therefore, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between addiction to social networks and psychological well-being. A total of 206 students from a university in Latacunga - Ecuador participated in the study. The research has a nonexperimental design, with a descriptive-correlational scope. Two psychometric instruments were applied to measure the study variables: the Escurra and Salas Social Network Addiction Questionnaire (ARS) and the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale (EBPR). The results showed a low positive correlation between the study variables, which implies that the greater the use of social networks, the higher the level of psychological well-being also increases slightly. A high level of addiction (81.1) was obtained with respect to the mean of all participants, and a moderate level of psychological well-being (61.2 %). A comparison by sex showed that there were no significant differences between men and women, therefore, a low positive correlation was concluded (p=0.078), suggesting that as long as there is a prolonged use of social networks, the dimensions that encompass psychological well-being such as autonomy, mastery of the environment, purpose in life, and personal growth tend to increase slightly in the study population.
