Objetivo: Identificar la percepción que tienen los adolescentes sobre el uso de las redes sociales y la influencia en la salud mental. Método: Investigación descriptiva-exploratoria con abordaje cuantitativo y cualitativo, realizada con adolescentes de entre diez y diecinueve años que son usuarios de las redes sociales. La muestra estuvo formada por 71 participantes seleccionados mediante la técnica de bola de nieve. El instrumento utilizado para llevar a cabo la recolección de datos fue el cuestionario online, desarrollado por los investigadores por medio de la herramienta Google Forms, y difundido a través de las redes sociales. Los datos fueron tabulados y presentados en gráficos y tablas, a través de estadísticas simples y discusión basada en literatura científica. Resultados: En cuanto al uso de redes sociales, el 100% de los encuestados respondió que las usaba con frecuencia, 27% dijo formar parte de 3 redes sociales, siendo WhatsApp e Instagram las más utilizadas, con 27% cada una. En cuanto a los riesgos de su uso, 34% de los participantes manifestó que se trataba de la divulgación de datos personales. El principal sentimiento que manifestaron en las redes fue el de vergüenza (27%); las contribuciones de las redes sociales son estudios/actualizaciones (29,5%); las consecuencias para la salud mental resultantes del uso fueron la invasión de la privacidad/divulgación de datos (20,5%) y la adicción (19,3%). Conclusión: El uso de las redes es cada vez mayor y provoca el surgimiento de nuevas formas de enfermedad, principalmente mentales, por lo tanto, es necesario que los profesionales de la salud aborden esta problemática para intervenir de forma efectiva. Objective: To identify the adolescents' perception about the use of social networks and the influence on mental health. Method: This is a descriptive-exploratory research study with a quantitative and qualitative approach, carried out with adolescents aged between ten and nineteen years old who are users of social networks. The sample consisted of 71 participants recruited using the snowball technique. The instrument used to carry out data collection was the online questionnaire, elaborated by the researchers and developed through the Google Forms tool, and disseminated through social networks, being subsequently tabulated and presented in graphs and tables, through simple statistics and discussion based on the scientific literature. Results: Regarding the use of social networks, 100% of those surveyed stated using them frequently, 27% said that they participated in 3 social networks, with WhatsApp and Instagram being the most used, with a total of 27% each. Regarding the risks of their use, 34% of the participants stated that it was disclosure of personal data. The main feeling they felt in the networks was that of embarrassment (27%); the contributions of the social networks are related to studies/updates (29.5%); and the consequences for mental health resulting from use were invasion of privacy/disclosure of data (20.5%) and addiction (19.3%). Conclusion: The use of networks is growing and causes new forms of illness to arise, mainly of a mental nature, requiring the health professional to approach this problem in order to intervene effectively. Objetivo: Objetiva-se identificar a percepção dos adolescentes sobre o uso das redes sociais e a influência na saúde mental. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva-exploratória com abordagem quanti-qualitativa, realizada com adolescentes de idade entre dez e dezenove anos que são usuários das redes sociais.

Background: Relationships are vital to recovery however, there is uncertainty whether users have different types of social networks in different mental health settings and how these networks may impact on users’ wellbeing. Aims: To compare the social networks of people with long-term mental illness in the community with those of people in a general adult in-patient unit. Method: A sample of general adult in-patients with enduring mental health problems, aged between 18 and 65, was compared with a similar sample attending a general adult psychiatric clinic. A cross-sectional survey collected demographic data and information about participants’ social networks. Participants also completed the Short Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale to examine well-being and the Significant Others Scale to explore their social network support. Results: The study recruited 53 participants (25 living in the community and 28 current in-patients) with 339 named as important members of their social networks. Both groups recorded low numbers in their social networks though the community sample had a significantly greater number of social contacts (7.4 vs. 5.4), more monthly contacts with members of their network and significantly higher levels of social media use. The in-patient group reported greater levels of emotional and practical support from their network. Conclusions: People with serious and enduring mental health problems living in the community had a significantly greater number of people in their social network than those who were in-patients while the in-patient group reported greater levels of emotional and practical support from their network. Recommendations for future work have been made.

Los museos en la actualidad tienen la capacidad de potenciar su poder de comunicación y de promoción, gracias a la proliferación de las redes sociales y de las tecnologías móviles en las que nos vemos inmersos en el siglo XXI, estableciendo, de esta manera, una interacción constante con los usuarios. No obstante, todos los museos de la Región de Murcia no han sido capaces de asumir el reto de esta revolución tecnológica. Este artículo comporta una revisión de la manera en que estos centros museísticos están aprovechando las plataformas sociales, elaborando un análisis descriptivo de una muestra de 101 museos repartidos en la Región de Murcia y el límite temporal que se ha elegido para el desarrollo de este trabajo está fijado entre el 1 de enero y el 30 de abril de 2017 en las plataformas Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Flickr, YouTube y Google+. Los resultados se caracterizan por la presencia de buenos ejemplos de éxito junto con un gran número de museos que se encuentran al principio de un uso consciente y exitoso de las redes sociales, así como casos de una ausencia de otros museos en la red. Este artículo se constituye, por lo tanto, como un ensayo que prepare posibles vías de análisis futuras, como sondeo del comportamiento de los museos de la Región de Murcia en las redes sociales, y con el objetivo de elaborar una propuesta de mejora de la calidad de la difusión de los contenidos y de promoción a través de estas herramientas, de ahí que se haya considerado fundamental el establecimiento de un análisis descriptivo y cuantitativo, cuyos resultados proporcionen datos fiables para estudios posteriores.

Este trabajo aborda, de manera sintética, uno de los problemas más relevantes con los que nos estamos encontrando en el Siglo XXI resultado del fenómeno de Internet, el de las redes sociales que constituyen vías consolidadas de relación e interacción cotidianas, no sólo de las nuevas generaciones de adolescentes y jóvenes, sino también de todo el conjunto de nuestra sociedad. Y pese a que la utilización de las nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación ofrece grandes oportunidades y ventajas, no puede obviarse igualmente que éstas nos pueden situar en la sociedad del riesgo, por cuanto que pueden entrañar múltiples peligros, entre los que cobra una especial relevancia la posibilidad de conculcación de los derechos fundamentales a la intimidad, al honor, a la propia imagen y a la protección de datos personales, bien individualmente considerados o, bien de forma conjunta, acrecentándose los citados riesgos entre jóvenes y adolescentes, en cuanto usuarios indiscriminados. Pero, a éstos se añaden además otros riesgos por conductas delictivas, como el denominado Ciberacoso.This research recollects in a synthetic way, one of the most relevant problems the society is facing today, as a consequence of the Internet phenomenon. The routes of social Networks in the daily relations and interactions are consolidating in such a way that is not only affecting the young teenagers and the new generation, but also the whole of our society. In spite of the fact that, the utilization of new Technology of Information and Communication offer great opportunities and have many advantages, however, one should not ignore that this situation is putting the society at risk. This phenomenon contains many dangers, as well as the possibility of violating the fundamental laws to intimacy, to the honor, to one’s own image and to the personal data protection, being individually considered or as a whole form in conjunction of the mentioned risks between the youth and adults users. Moreover, there will be an increase of this risk, because of criminal behaviors as Ciber bullying.

De este modo, son muchos los países que han adoptado diferentes medidas para potenciar su diplomacia digital.En el caso de España, las redes sociales se han establecido como uno de los ejes de la ciberdiplomacia con el propósito de atender a los españoles en el extranjero, acercar a los ciudadanos la actividad diplomática y aumentar el conocimiento que en el exterior se tiene del país y de su cultura.El modo en que se configura la presencia española en los medios sociales a través de los perfiles de sus representaciones en el exterior centra la atención de este estudio, que tiene como objetivo conocer la estructura de la diplomacia digital española en redes sociales, así como el uso que se hace de las mismas por parte de los distintos actores digitales._______________________In the last decade, internationally speaking, the diplomacy has adapted itself to the new technological context in which many of the relations among the different political, social and economical agents are framed. Online channels have strengthened their presence into the strategies of institutional communication in order to promote a better projection of their public image and digital reputation. So, many are the countries which have adopted different measures in order to potentiate their digital diplomacy.In Spain, social networks have established themselves as one of the axes of the cyberdiplomacy with the aim of assisting Spanish people abroad, of approaching the diplomatical activity to the citizens and of increasing the knowledge of the country and its culture outside its frontiers.The way in which the Spanish presence is configured in the social medias through the profilesof its representations abroad is the target of this study, which aims at knowing the structure of the Spanish digital diplomacy and also the use of these ones which is done by different digital agents.

PurposeMental health literacy (MHL) is the ability to understand health information originating from different sources. Little is known about ethnic differences in sources for health information, and the effect these differences has on elderly MHL. In this paper, we focus on the social networks (i.e. social connections) of elderly people from different ethnic groups, and investigate the effect these networks have on MHL. Specifically, we focus on the ethnic diversity of one's peers (ethnic diversity) as a network characteristic that can interplay with his\her MHL.Design/methodology/approachThe data used in this study were gathered using a survey among elderly (over the age of 60) Native Israeli Jews (N = 147) and Immigrant Jews from the Former Soviet Union (FSU, N = 131). The survey was used to assess our participants MHL, online and offline sources of mental health information and mental health service utilization. Interviews were also conducted with each participant. The interview purpose was to map the participants' social network (using a sociogram), while indicating the attributes of the participant's peers (age, gender, ethnicity, etc.) and the nature of the interaction (online vs. offline, strength of the tie, etc.). A set of hierarchal regression analyses were then used to examine which social network attributes are correlated with MHL levels.FindingsOur findings shows that ethnic diversity within the social networks of Immigrants from the FSU contributed to their MHL more so than for native-born Jews. Specifically, face to face maintained connections with individuals from diverse ethnic groups lead to increased knowledge about how to search for mental health information. Online maintained connections with individuals from diverse ethnic groups, lead to increase attitudes that promote recognition of mental health related issues and appropriate help-seeking.Originality/valueUnderstanding the interplay between the ethnic diversity among one's peers and his/her MHL offers an important additional prism of examining MHL; moving beyond the individual's characteristics and examining his/her social connections as well. The relevancy of these findings for reducing MHL inequalities between native-born and elderly migrants, as well as for ethnic minorities is discussed.

This paper examines the academic use made of the social networks by university students through a survey conducted among a representative sample of students at Universidad de Málaga (Spain) (n=938) and two discussion groups. Given that network consumption has profoundly penetrated the daily routines of the students, the vast communication possibilities of these channels could be considered for educational use in the future despite a predominance of entertainment-related use. We discuss the most suitable networks for academic use, which type of activities may be most widely accepted among the students and which social networking tools could be most useful for academic purposes. The results indicate that consumption of social networks in the student population surveyed is very high. In addition, the students show a favourable attitude to lecturers using social networks as an academic resource. However, the frequency of use of such networks for academic activities was rather low and, on average, the most frequently used academic activities are those initiated by the students themselves, such as answering queries among peers or doing coursework. The perceived low academic support on social networks may mean that lecturers take only limited advantage of their potential. El uso académico que hacen los universitarios de las redes sociales es el estudio que se presenta a partir de una encuesta administrada a una muestra representativa de estudiantes de la Universidad de Málaga (n=938) y dos grupos de discusión. Dado que el consumo de redes se ha implantado profundamente en las rutinas diarias de los estudiantes, las vastas posibilidades comunicativas de estos canales podrían considerarse para sacar provecho educativo en el futuro, a pesar del predominio del uso dirigido al entretenimiento. Se discuten cuáles son las redes más adecuadas para su uso académico, qué tipo de actividades pueden tener mejor acogida entre los estudiantes y qué herramientas de las redes sociales podrían ser más útiles para propósitos académicos. Los resultados indican que el consumo de redes sociales de la población estudiada es muy alto. Así mismo, los estudiantes presentan una actitud favorable a que los docentes utilicen las redes como recurso educativo. Sin embargo, la frecuencia con la que los estudiantes dan un uso académico a las redes es más bien escasa y, en promedio, las actividades académicas con frecuencia de uso más elevada son aquellas que parten de la iniciativa de los propios estudiantes, como la solución de dudas inter pares o la realización de trabajos de clase. Del escaso apoyo académico percibido en las redes por los estudiantes, se deduce un limitado aprovechamiento por parte de los docentes.

Categoría: Comunicado Fecha de recepción: 28 de mayo de 2012 Fecha de aprobación: 28 de junio de 2012 Resumen El tema de la exclusión ha sido demasiado discutido en disciplinas como la sociología y la antropología social. Incluso en la psicología social la temática ha nutrido bastantes investigaciones. Como tópico ha dado lugar a innumerables reflexiones de grandes pensadores e intelectuales. Frente a las diversas facetas que ha adquirido la exclusión en el mundo contemporáneo, paulatinamente se han gestado diversos modos de inclusión más allá de la oposición material y simbólica que son dignos de ser analizados y discutidos. En este texto se discuten sólo tres: el mundo de las imitaciones, la conexión multifrénica y el entretenimiento de bajo nivel. Con el afán de apropiarse de una subjetividad que les ha sido negada, los ‘desafiliados’ de diversos sistemas simbólicos han optado por generar estrategias de inclusión en el ámbito de la vida cotidiana y son dignas no sólo de ser analizadas sino de ser discutidas. A lo largo de todo el texto se llama la atención sobre los heurísticos que apuntalan las formas contemporáneas del consumo. Palabras clave: Exclusión, Estrategias, Consumo, Entretenimiento, subjetividad, redes sociales Abstract The issue of exclusion has been overly discussed in disciplines such as sociology and social anthropology. Even in the social psychology, it has drawn considerable research interest. As a topic has led to countless thoughts of great thinkers and intellectuals. Given the different facets that exclusion has acquired the exclusion in the contemporary world, various modes have been increasingly developed beyond the material and symbolic opposition, which are worthy of being analyzed and discussed. In this paper, we discuss only three: the world of imitations, the ‘multifrenica’ connection and low level entertainment. In an attempt to seize a subjectivity that has been denied, the ‘unaffiliated’ from various symbol systems have chosen to generate strategies for inclusion in the scope of everyday life and are worthy not only be analyzed but to be discussed. Throughout all texts, it is emphasized the heuristics that underpin contemporary forms of consumption.
