Introdução: Ao longo dos anos tem-se assistido a mudanças profundas no mundo em
termos demográficos e no modo como nos relacionamos com os demais. As redes sociais online
parecem ser substitutas de necessidades humanas fundamentais, como as necessidades de
vinculação. A vinculação encontra-se associada ao uso do Facebook, sendo a ansiosa preditor
deste uso. Apesar de o Facebook ser a rede social mais utilizada em Portugal, não há registos
de estudos no contexto português. Objetivos: Explorar a relação entre a adição ao Facebook e
os tipos de vinculação no geral, com foco também em variáveis sociodemográficas, académicas
e de uso da Internet e das redes sociais. Amostra: A amostra foi constituída por 348 sujeitos
Portugueses com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 29 anos, que preencheram um
questionário sociodemográfico, académico, do uso da Internet e do uso do Facebook; a Escala
de Adição ao Facebook e o Experiences in Close Relationships–Relationship Structures
Questionnaire. Resultados: Os padrões de vinculação insegura encontram-se correlacionados
com as publicações nas redes sociais, contudo não se associaram com a adição ao Facebook. O
Facebook é uma rede social omnipresente, mas que apresentou menores níveis de adição,
verificando-se o uso de outras redes sociais pelos sujeitos mais jovens. As publicações nas redes
não se encontram associadas à vinculação segura. Conclusão: A vinculação é um fator
importante para entender o comportamento relativo ao uso de redes sociais.
