Impact of Social Networking Use in Youth and the Relationship of Mood States

This research has focused on identifying the levels of aggression and irritability observed in a group of young participants due to the use of social networks. Since their beginnings, social networks have captured the attention of several users, with the youngest being those who use them most frequently. This excessive use has generated changes in the habitual behavior of young people and has caused the content they observe to affect their moods significantly. This research carried out with 45 participants shows that although the levels of irritability and aggression are located at low and average levels, it can also be observed that the more time they spend on these networks, the more aggression and irritability increase.
