Resumen

Antecedentes: el uso problemático de los smartphones es un reto al que se enfrentan las sociedades de todo el mundo. Este fenómeno se ha asociado con experiencias negativas de socialización a través del impacto que estas tienen en cómo los jóvenes se relacionan con su entorno. Este trabajo examina el apego (parental y pares), la autoefi cacia y el razonamiento prosocial como predictores de diferentes actitudes hacia la comunicación online y uso problemático del móvil. Método: 561 jóvenes entre 14 y 20 años (Medad = 17,82; SD = 1,64; 67,7% Mujeres) participaron en una encuesta online. Resultados: tanto la autoefi cacia como el razonamiento prosocial se correlaciona con una disminución del uso problemático del móvil y de las actitudes hacia la comunicación online orientada a evadir la realidad o a construir una realidad social paralela más cómoda. El apego (parental y pares) tuvo efectos directos e indirectos sobre el uso problemático del móvil y las actitudes hacia la comunicación. Conclusiones: el apego juega un papel relevante en la reducción de síntomas de adicción al móvil y en las actitudes hacia la comunicación online en los jóvenes, a través de su impacto en las percepciones de autoefi cacia y razonamiento prosocial.
