Introdução: O uso problemático generalizado da internet pode gerar repercussões
negativas na vida do indivíduo, tendo influência na forma como enfrenta as adversidades.
Uma regulação emocional disfuncional acarreta uma maior probabilidade de se envolver
em comportamentos aditivos, de modo a abstrair-se das emoções negativas. Igualmente,
uma baixa autoestima tem-se mostrado suscetível a um uso problemático da internet,
percecionando as interações virtuais como mais seguras e compensatórias.
Método: Explorar o papel preditivo da regulação emocional e da autoestima no uso
problemático generalizado da internet, durante a pandemia por COVID-19, numa amostra
de 138 adultos portugueses. Foi utilizado um questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala de
Uso Generalizado Problemático da Internet 2, a Escala de Dificuldades na Regulação
Emocional e a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg.
Resultados e conclusões: Resultaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas na
relação entre a regulação emocional, autoestima e o uso problemático generalizado da
internet. Ou seja, uma baixa regulação emocional e baixa autoestima atuam como
preditores para o uso problemático generalizado da internet. Adicionalmente, ser mais
jovem, ser do sexo masculino e uma idade de início de uso da internet mais precoce
resultaram significativas na sua relação com o uso problemático generalizado da internet.
Introduction: The generalized problematic internet use can generate negative repercussions on the individual's life, having an influence on how he faces adversity. Dysfunctional emotional regulation is more likely to engage in addictive behaviors in order to abstract from negative emotions. Similarly, low self-esteem has been shown to be susceptible to problematic internet use, perceiting virtual interactions as safer and more compensatory. Method: Explore the predictive role of emotional regulation and self-esteem in the generalized problematic internet use, during the COVID-19 pandemic in a sample of 138 Portuguese adults. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used. Results and conclusions: Statistically significant differences in the relationship between emotional regulation, self-esteem and generalized problematic internet use was showed. That is, a low emotional regulation and low self-esteem proved to be predictors of generalized problematic internet use. Additionally, being younger, being male and an earlier age of initial use of the internet resulted in significant relationship with generalized problematic internet use.
