Abstract(s)
Esta investigação, de natureza exploratória, tem como objeto de estudo as perceções de jovens adultos a frequentar o Ensino Universitário em Portugal, sobre as suas práticas de acesso e de consumo da Internet e dos media sociais, em especial durante a pandemia da COVID-19, e as consequências da conexão permanente a estes formatos para o desenvolvimento do risco de dependência comportamental. De ponto de vista metodológico, foram aplicados inquéritos por questionário a uma amostra de 407 jovens adultos universitários, com uma média de idade de 19,6 anos, a frequentar o ensino público e o privado. Os resultados apontam para um aumento da dependência em relação à Internet durante o confinamento. Mais de metade dos inquiridos considera que a Internet é indispensável em algumas ocasiões da sua vida, da mesma forma que confessa que sente algumas das consequências do uso excessivo, como sejam a adição aos sites de redes sociais ou as perturbações de sono.

From a methodological point of view, questionnaire surveys were applied to a sample of 407 young university adults, with an average age of 19.6 years, attending public and private institutions. The results point to an increase in dependence on the Internet during confinement. More than half of the respondents consider that the Internet is essential at some times in their lives, in the same way that they confess that they feel some of the consequences of excessive use, such as addiction to social networking sites or sleep disturbances.
