Abstract(s)
O uso das redes sociais tornase cada vez mais uma realidade, sobretudo na adolescência, onde estas plataformas são utilizadas como ferramentas de entretenimento, expressão e comunicação. Este tema tem sido cada vez mais motivo de estudo e interesse de forma a compreender esta problemática e as suas repercussões, principalmente por se tratar de uma faixa etária jovem e que ainda se encontra em fase de desenvolvimento da própria identidade, enquanto está exposta a plataformas que dão ênfase a status, imagem corporal ou a um estilo de vida ideal. Neste sentido, foi realizado um estudo de natureza descritivocorrelacional com 75 adolescentes, maioritariamente do sexo feminino, com idades compreendidas entre os 13 e os 17 anos, com o objetivo de explorar a relação entre o uso das redes sociais, autoestima, imagem corporal e a sintomatologia associada à perturbação dismórfica corporal. Para isso, foi aplicado um questionário sociodemográfico que aborda o uso das redes sociais e a presença de sintomas da perturbação dismórfica corporal, a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg e o Inventário de Esquemas sobre a Aparência. Os resultados obtidos revelaram uma relação estatisticamente significativa entre a utilização das redes sociais e a imagem corporal (r= .361; p= .001) e a sintomatologia associada à perturbação dismórfica corporal (rs= .258; p= .026). Relativamente às finalidades do uso foi encontrada uma relação estatisticamente significativa com a autoestima (X2= 85.47: p= .031). Além do mais verificaramse diferenças significativas em termos de sexos relativamente à imagem corporal (U= 471.50; p= .023) e à sintomatologia associada à perturbação dismórfica corporal (U= 445.50; p= .011), sendo a ordem média mais elevada no sexo feminino. Estes resultados destacam a importância de perceber o que está associado ao uso das redes sociais, o que pode ter implicações importantes para a prática e para a intervenção com esta população.
The use of social networks is increasingly becoming a reality, especially in adolescence, where these platforms are used as tools for entertainment, expression, and communication. This topic has increasingly been a reason for study and interest in order to understand this problem and its repercussions, mainly because it is a young age group that is still in the phase of developing its own identity, while being exposed to platforms that emphasize status, body image or an ideal lifestyle. In this sense, a descriptivecorrelational study was carried out with 75 adolescents, mostly female, aged between 13 and 17, with the aim of exploring the relationship between the use of social networks, selfesteem, body image and the symptoms associated with body dysmorphic disorder. For this, a sociodemographic questionnaire was applied that addresses the use of social networks and the presence of symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder, the Rosenberg SelfEsteem Scale and the Appearance Schema Inventory. The results obtained revealed a statistically significant relationship between the use of social networks and body image (r= .361; p= .001) and symptoms associated with body dysmorphic disorder (rs= .258; p= .026). Regarding the purposes of use, a statistically significant relationship was found with selfesteem (X2= 85.47: p= .031). Furthermore, there were significant differences between genders in terms of body image (U= 471.50; p= .023) and symptoms associated with body dysmorphic disorder (U= 445.50; p= .011), with the average order being more elevated in females. These results highlight the importance of understanding what is associated with the use of social networks, which may have important implications for practice and intervention with this population.
