ARE SOCIAL NETWORKS CREATING A MORE SOLITARY LIFE

ARE SOCIAL NETWORKS CREATING A MORE SOLITARY LIFE THAN BEFORE

A recent study of loneliness in Spain concluded that one in five Spaniards live alone, and yet, they are not the group that feels loneliness: "A 27.5% of Spaniards living alone say they do not feel any solitude at all, while 52.6% of those living with loneliness say he felt at some point.” Asked about the feelings attributed to the concept of loneliness, 28% identified with the lack of communication, isolation and lack of company. "

The use of networks by people who are well integrated socially and maintain strong relationships with their loved ones serve to maintain or increase those ties, and even to reduce possible effects of depression. In contrast, the second points to the social use of the internet, especially when communicating with strangers, social resources can move people in the real world and emphasize its depressed state. This group of researchers conducted a massive survey of digital users all the features to confirm the effects of both scenarios.

Their results showed that personal characteristics are what affect the relationship between the network and the depressive feeling. Its use as a complement to the social life in the real world would not be harmful, just the opposite; the problem arises when looking at the networks substitute the real company.  (by Marina – Adm 3)
