This study explores the possible relationship between psychological well-being in young college students and the extent to which they use social networks (Facebook). An exploratory qualitative analysis was performed, and 200 students from a private university in Mexico were interviewed.

Algunos autores las consideran herramientas significativas para mantener el contacto con la familia y los amigos. Sin embargo, otros autores argumentan que las redes sociales en línea han contribuido a la desconexión social. Este estudio explora la posible asociación entre el bienestar psicológico de los jóvenes universitarios y la intensidad de uso de las redes sociales (Facebook). Se realizó un análisis cuantitativo con alcance exploratorio: se entrevistaron 200 estudiantes de una universidad privada en México. Los resultados mostraron una asociación negativa entre el número de horas diarias que los estudiantes dedicaron a Facebook y el bienestar psicológico subjetivo (-.241) y el bienestar material (r = -0.192). Además, se encontró una asociación positiva (p < .05, .153) entre el número de fotos que los estudiantes comparten a través de Facebook y el bienestar psicológico subjetivo.Universidad Autónoma de Baja California.
