Redes Sociales y La Comunicación de los Jóvenes en sus Relaciones de Pareja
Main Article Content
Abstract
Social networks have greatly impacted the ways in which people interact. For this reason, the objective of this study was to inquire about how young people use media such as Facebook or other social networks to fulfill tasks that are key in the functioning of their couple relationships, such as setting limits and maintaining the emotional climate. A qualitative descriptive study that involved in-depth interviews and virtual ethnography was carried out. Participants were 6 couples of heterosexual university students who were under observation in their conversations on Facebook and / or WhatsApp for a week. It was found that young couples use social networks in order to exchange messages about their daily activities, meet each other's emotional needs, and construct their identity. Results are discussed based on the existing literature and directions for future research are suggested.
