摘要:DEPENDENCE ON ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKS AND SCHOOL VIOLENCE IN ADOLESCENTS.The empirical evidence suggests that Internet addiction is associated with other behavioral problems such as depressive symptoms, antisocial behavior, and cyberbullying. However, few studies have examined the dependence onOnlineSocial Networks (OSN) and school violence. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationships between OSN dependency and school violence among peers, considering gender and age. Participants were 1952 adolescents, 50.4% boys, aged between 11 and 16 years old (M age = 14.07, D T = 1.39). A multifactorial MANOVA was calculated. Results showed that adolescents with greater dependence on OSNscored the highest on overt and relational violence (reactive and instrumental). In addition, boys and girls with high dependence on OSN showed similar involvement in relational violence (reactive and instrumental), while boys with high dependence scored the higher than girls onovertviolence (both reactive and instrumental). Finally, the results and their implications are discussed.
