Resumen

El uso excesivo de Internet en adolescentes y jóvenes se considera relacionado con problemas intrapersonales e interpersonales. El objetivo de esta investigación fue estudiar la relación entre el uso problemático de Internet, bienestar psicológico y respuestas de ansiedad social y obsesivo-compulsivas. La muestra estuvo formada por 132 varones y 178 mujeres de edades comprendidas entre 16 y 23 años que cursaban Bachillerato y estudios universitarios. Los resultados indicaron que la edad influyó en la mayor parte de factores del Uso compulsivo de Internet. El sexo afectó a los niveles del uso problemático de Internet siendo los chicos los que mayores puntuaciones alcanzaron en uso compulsivo y consecuencias negativas. Se confirmó una correlación significativa y directa entre uso problemático de Internet y respuestas de ansiedad social y obsesivo-compulsivas. Los predictores más importante del uso problemático de Internet fueron el dominio del entorno, la ansiedad social y los síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos. Se podría concluir, aunque con cautela, que mientras que los jóvenes con ansiedad social podrían buscar el uso de internet como un medio de interacción placentero, los jóvenes con síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos podrían llegar a un uso excesivo como medio de eliminar la ansiedad compulsiva.
