USO ADICTIVO AL FACEBOOK Y FELICIDAD EN ESTUDIANTES DE UNA UNIVERSIDAD PRIVADA DE LIMA SUR, 2020

Resumen

The present investigation found a relationship between addictive use of Facebook and happiness in students from a private university in South Lima. The design was nonexperimental,

transactional, and correlational. The population consisted of 5,435 and worked with a sample of 189 university students aged 16 to 40 years who were studying
from first to eleventh cycle of psychology, accounting, administration, law and systems engineering. To collect the data, the Andreassen Facebook Addictive Use Scale was used,
adapted and translated to the Peruvian context by Vallejos-Flores, Copez-Lonzoy and Capa-Luque (2018) and Alarcón Happiness Scale (2006). The results show a highly
significant inverse relationship between addictive use of Facebook and happiness (rho = -277, p = .000). It is concluded that the presence of a higher level of addictive use of
Facebook, decreases the levels of happiness or vice versa, that is to say that there is an interference of one variable in the other.
