Correlación entre la influencia de las redes sociales y la violencia en noviazgos adolescentes

In recent years, there has been an increase in violence among adolescent couples. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the content observed on social media and violent behaviors in dating relationships among youths aged 15 to 18. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted using non-parametric tests to analyze correlations and differences in violence levels based on school type (public or private). Results revealed a weak correlation between social media use and violence but a significant difference between anime videos and other violent content. No differences were found in violence levels based on school type. These findings suggest that the type of content consumed, rather than the time spent on social media, influences levels of violence. This aligns with social learning theory, which posits that behavior results from imitation.
