Family functioning and social network addiction in college students of the city of Quito

This research aims to analyze the relationship between family functioning and social network addiction in college students in the city of Quito. The research design is nonexperimental cross-sectional, with a quantitative method and a descriptive - correlative scope. Two data collection instruments are used: 1. Social Networks Addiction Questionnaire (ARS) and 2. Family Functioning Perception Questionnaire (FF-SIL). The sample consisted of 274 college students from the city of Quito. The results were $50 \%$ of moderately functional families, in addition to a higher prevalence of students with an “obsession to be informed” and a “need/obsession to be connected” with $\mathbf{5 1. 8 \%}$ and $\mathbf{4 2. 3 \%}$ respectively. Likewise, there is a statistically significant correlation, directly proportional between family functioning and the “problem” dimension of social networks addiction.
