Resumen

Desde hace algunos años los estudiosos han venido explorando algunas de las consecuencias negativas que la rápida incorporación de los teléfonos inteligentes en nuestra vida ha tenido en el bienestar psicosocial de los usuarios. La mayoría de los estudios empíricos hasta la fecha son de corte transversal y se realizan con participantes de muestras de conveniencia, lo que ha sido una limitación en este campo. En este estudio evaluamos la evolución durante tres años de la adicción a teléfonos inteligentes y el apoyo social en 241 usuarios españoles de una muestra nacional representativa. Los resultados del análisis del modelado del crecimiento y modelado de la mezcla de crecimiento indican que ambas trayectorias están interconectadas: a medida que aumenta la adicción aumenta el apoyo social. Además, los altos niveles de adicción y los niveles relativamente bajos de apoyo se mantuvieron estables en el tiempo en un grupo de usuarios. Los usuarios de este grupo de elevada adicción representarían una tendencia en la sociedad digital caracterizada por mayores índices de soledad y dependencia tecnológica.
