Resumen
El objetivo de la investigación fue conocer, según un estudio transversal, cómo se relacionan el uso de Facebook, el soporte social (percibido y virtual) y la satisfacción con la vida en jóvenes universitarios que viven en Lima. La muestra, no probabilística, estuvo constituida por 488 estudiantes, agrupados en variables sociodemográficas y educativas (sexo, edad, ciclo actual de estudios y carrera). La variable uso del Facebook incluyó las dimensiones de frecuencia, intensidad y tipo; categorizadas en tres niveles de uso: alto, mediano y bajo. Para medir las variables soporte social percibido, soporte social virtual y satisfacción con la vida se emplearon tres pruebas que mostraron altos niveles de consistencia interna respectivamente: la Escala Multidimensional de Apoyo Social Percibido (MSPSS) (α= .91) (Zimmet, Dahlem, & Farley, 1988), Soporte Social en Redes e Internet (ISSIR-A) (α=.77) (Kina, 2011) y la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida (ESV) (α=.80) (Diener, Emmons, Larsen & Griffin, 1985). El estudio reveló que uso de Facebook se relaciona positivamente con soporte social percibido (rs (488)=.11, p<.05) y virtual (rs (488)=.17, p<.01) y soporte social percibido se relaciona positivamente con satisfacción con la vida (rs (488)=.40, p<.01). Un análisis de regresión múltiple permitió precisar que el soporte social percibido (β estandarizado=.38, p<.01), la edad (β estandarizado=-.11, p<.01) y el nivel socioeconómico percibido (β estandarizado=-.14, p<.01) predicen la satisfacción la vida. Esta investigación permite comprender la relevancia del uso Facebook asociado al soporte social de las personas y demuestra su importancia en la satisfacción con la vida de estudiantes universitarios.
The aim of this research was to know, through a cross sectional study, how are the variable Facebook’s use, social support (perceived and online) and life satisfaction are related in a university students sample from Lima. The non-probabilistic sample was constituted by 488 students, grouped in socio-demographic and educational variables (sex, age, current course of study and career). The variable use of Facebook implies frequency, intensity and type; it allowed to categorize three levels of use: high, medium and low. Three scales whit high levels of internal consistency were applied in order to measure the variables perceived social support, virtual social support and life satisfaction: the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) (α = 0.91) (Zimmet, Dahlem, and Farley, 1988), Social Support Network and Internet (ISSIR-A) (α = 0.77) (Kina, 2011) and the Scale of Satisfaction with Life (ESV) (α = 0.80) (Diener, Emmons, Larsen and Griffin, 1985). The results pointed out that Facebook use is positively related with perceived social support (RS (488) =. 11, p <.05) and virtual social support (r (488) =. 17, p <0.01) and perceived social support is related with life satisfaction (r (488) =. 40, p <0.01). A multiple regression allowed to specify that perceived social support (standardized β =.38, p<.01), age (standardized β =-.11, p<.01) and socioeconomic perceived level (standardized β =-.14, p<.01) predicts life satisfaction. This research helped us to understand the relevance of Facebook’s use on the social support of university students and clarify how this variables are associated, also demonstrate its importance in students’ life satisfaction.
