Algunos autores las consideran herramientas significativas para mantener el contacto con la familia y los amigos. Sin embargo, otros autores argumentan que las redes sociales en línea han contribuido a la desconexión social.

Además, se encontró una asociación positiva (p < .05, .153) entre el número de fotos que los estudiantes comparten a través de Facebook y el bienestar psicológico subjetivo. 2018-09-07 2021-06-03T03:08:53Z 2021-06-03T03:08:53Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1796 10.24320/redie.2018.20.3.1796 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/6313 spa https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1796/1664 https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1796/1672 https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1796/1883 Derechos de autor 2019 Revista Electrónica de Investigación Educativa text/html application/pdf application/xml REDIE es una publicación del Instituto de Investigación y Desarrollo Educativo (IIDE).
