Abstract El uso problemático de Internet se ha descrito en la literatura psicológica como ‘adicción a Internet’ o ‘uso patológico de Internet’. Este estudio pretende identificar los posibles efectos relacionados con el uso de la red. Se diseño un cuestionario Web que se difundió a través de la propia red durante 4 semanas. La muestra final estuvo formada por 1664 internautas autoseleccionados de ambos sexos. El análisis de conglomerados (cluster) de las respuestas al cuestionario identificó a un subgrupo de internautas (4,9% de la muestra) que manifestaban tener problemas frecuentes con el uso de la red, como sentimientos de culpa, deseo intenso de estar o continuar con la conexión a Internet, pérdida de control, pérdida de tiempo de trabajo o clase. También manifestaban una mayor ansiedad y disfunción social, valoradas a través del GHQ-28, que el resto de la muestra. Acceden con frecuencia a servicios de Chat y a páginas de contenido sólo para adultos. Se concluye que el cuestionario utilizado recoge de forma homogénea los problemas relacionados con el uso de la red (α=0.91) y una aceptable validez concurrente con los ítems criterio utilizados (r=0.60). Finalmente, se discuten las limitaciones metodológicas de los estudios realizados a través de cuestionarios Web.
Abstract - optional The pathological usage of Internet has been described in the psychological literature as "Addiction to Internet" or as "Pathological Usage of Internet". This study tries to identify the possible effects related with Internet usage. A web survey was designed and broadcasted through Internet during 4 weeks. The sample was formed by 1664 volunteer respondents of either sex. The cluster analysis of the answers has identified a subset of users (4.9% of the sample) who declared having frequent problems with Internet usage, such as feeling of being guilty, craving of being connected, loose of control, or time wasting. This group showed a higher anxiety and social disfunction, evaluated through the GHQ-28, than the rest of the sample. They also access more frequently to chat services and adult pages. We conclude that the survey being used identifies in an homogeneous way the problems related with Internet usage (α=0.91), and an acceptable concurrent validity with the criterion items used (r=0.60). Finally, methodological limitations of web - designed study surveys are discussed.
