Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como finalidade analisar o uso das redes sociais a partir da adaptação
para a população portuguesa de um questionário construído por Garcia del Castillo et al., (2015). A
sua pertinência prende-se com o facto de ser um tema relativamente recente em que carecem os
instrumentos para avaliar estas questões. Além disso, pode ainda apoiar o desenvolvimento de mais
estudos nesta área para assim se puder intervir na prevenção do uso inadequado das redes sociais. O
instrumento foi estudado em termos de validade e fidelidade com uma amostra de 491 jovens
universitários em dois momentos separados. Os resultados obtidos indicam a adequação do modelo.
Compreende-se ainda a existência de validade convergente e fiabilidade do tipo temporal,
considerando que os resultados não apresentam diferenças significativas entre os dois momentos de
avaliação e se correlacionam de forma positiva. Para aprofundar o conhecimento sobre o uso das redes
sociais, tentamos perceber o papel de variáveis individuais como a idade e género, grau académico,
reprovações e médias. Em função da idade, género, reprovações e médias encontramos algumas
diferenças estatisticamente significativas. Analisando o uso das redes sociais em função do grau
académico, não encontramos diferenças entre os grupos. Estes dados parecem assegurar a validade e
fidelidade do questionário do Uso das Redes Sociais, versão portuguesa
This study aims to adapt to analyses social network use based on and adaptation study for Portuguese population of a questionnaire (Garcia del Castillo et al., 2015). Its relevance is related to the fact that a relatively recent theme that lack the tools to assess these issues. Additionally, it can also support the development of more studies in this area so we can intervene to prevent the inappropriate use of social networks. The instrument has been studied in terms of validity and reliability with a sample of 491 university students in two separate moments. The results indicate the suitability of the model. It is understood also the existence of convergent validity and reliability of the temporal type, as the results show no significant differences between the two moments and correlate positively. To deepen the knowledge about the use of social networks, we try to understand the role of individual variables such as age and gender, academic degree, reproofs and averages. Depending on age, gender, reproofs and averages found some statistically significant differences. Analyzing the use of social networks depending on the degree, we found no differences between the groups. These data seem to ensure the validity and use of the questionnaire Uso das Redes Sociais, Portuguese version
