Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the dependence of Peruvian university students on social networks during the COVID-19 pandemic. The design was cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 96 students from a public university, who voluntarily participated in an online survey, consisting of 24 items, with 5 Likert-type ratings, whose Alpha was 0.955. It was concluded that 91.7% of the participants showed that they were using the Internet daily for different purposes, but with greater regularity to
check the social networks, especially Facebook with 79.2%. In addition, it was established that the correlation is significant in the 0.01 bilateral level, which indicates that the three factors into the items were grouped when performing the analysis (obsession with social networks, lack of control and excessive use) correlated significantly, thus determining the level of dependence on that social network.
