“…In a research conducted in adolescents and young adults people, the consequences of the use of information and communication technologies, including the Internet, cell phones, and video games were assessed. Its results showed that 10% of participants were addicted to all studied technologies, and 2% suffered from two addictions simultaneously (19), which corroborates our findings. In the present study, these results should be due to other factors, such as safety during the game, especially considering that some large cities may have a high rate of theft and related incidents (18).…”

“…Another relevant finding in the present study was that the students who spent more hours playing Pokémon GO had a greater addiction to other video games and made greater use of cell phone applications. Results from other studies have shown an important percentage of students addicted to video games in Peru (17), Colombia (18), Spain (19) and Singapore (20), and addicted to Internet in Peru (21). A research paper published in 2015 found a shorter time used to play video games, which was 10 to 250 minutes in 47% of men and 58% of women (17).…”

Introduction: Some years ago, the Pokémon GO game became incredibly popular. However, no studies on the subject have been conducted in Peru involving vulnerable populations, such as adolescents. Objective: To determine if the number of hours playing the Pokémon GO game is associated with Internet and/or video game addiction, as well as to other factors in secondary school students from five Peruvian cities. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional, analytical, and multi-centric study, with a sample of 944 school students. General characteristics, including socio-educational aspects, and Internet and/or video game addiction were analyzed, as well as variables related to the use of the game, such as problems at home, with teachers, accidents, and theft. Results: We found statistical associations between the assessed variables and increased playing time. 409 (44%) students had an Internet addiction, 215 (23%) were addicted to video games, and 336 (49%) spent a significant number of hours per day playing Pokémon GO. A greater number of hours playing Pokémon GO was associated with having a video game addiction (prevalence ratio (PR): 1,33; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07-1.65), greater use of cell phone applications

“…Some authors have set the limit of such addiction at about 30 h a week [29]. Bearing in mind that 38.4% of our students spend 35 h a week (five or more hours a day) connected to the Internet (in line with other studies [30][31][32][33]), we could safely say that they have addiction problems and that they may be prone to developing adverse symptoms at physiological, cognitive and behavioral [34][35][36][37] levels.…”

“…It is precisely the multiple activities that can be carried out at the same time, that feed two types of needs (social interaction and solitary stimulation), that in turn, feeds the addiction to the Internet. Eighty-five percent of students say they use instant messaging often or very often and 83% use social media and highlight their need to keep in constant contact with their peers [31,43,44].…”

Smartphones are indeed becoming an essential tool in the daily lives and relations of their users in recent years, thanks to their uses and potential. However, excessive and inappropriate use can lead to dependence syndromes. The objectives of our study were to ascertain how these devices are being used and whether students are at risk of addiction. The study was carried out based on a survey with students-future teachers-from two Spanish universities. A sample of 453 students between the ages of 18 and 47 was analyzed, 76.8% female and 23.2% male. Smartphones were found to be the preferred Internet connection device for 80% of students, 38% of students connect to the Internet five hours or more a day (which can be considered an addiction) and smartphones are used primarily to connect with others (social media and instant messaging). The abusive use of smartphones affects men's behavior more than women and can lead them to neglect other activities, while smartphones affect women more in the emotional field, in matters related to boredom, impatience, and irritability.

“…Pero la investigación sobre estas frecuencias elevadas de utilización no solo se ha centrado en Internet, sino también en diversas tecnologías que van desde las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación en general (García-Oliva et al, 2017;Gairín y Mercader, 2018) hasta los juegos por Internet (Bertrán y Chamarro, 2016;Martín et al, 2017), videojuegos (Gonzálvez et al, 2015;Espejo et al, 2018), teléfonos móviles (Pedrero et al, 2012;Gaspar y Cuesta, 2015) y, por supuesto, las RSO.…”

El uso de las redes sociales online (RSO) está originando una línea de investigación centrada en el fenómeno de adicción que se produce por utilizar de forma intensa las tecnologías e Internet, especialmente en grupos poblacionales tan vulnerables como los jóvenes y adolescentes. Esto ha repercutido en la búsqueda de instrumentos para su diagnóstico, terreno donde han ganado espacio las escalas de autopercepción. Esta investigación se planteó validar y adaptar al contexto mexicano la escala de adicción a las redes sociales elaborada por Sahin (2018). El instrumento resultante constituye una herramienta útil, dada la inexistencia de una de su tipo en la literatura académica mexicana, para recoger información del grado de adicción a RSO en jóvenes y adolescentes.
