The impact of social networks on the development of socio-emotional skills
Abstract
The importance of developing social skills in university students lies in being able to face situations in the best way, both in the personal and professional spheres. At the end of the covid-19 pandemic, students faced various challenges, among which adaptation and socialization stand out after having remained isolated and only interacting through digital media such as social networks. The objective of this study was to identify the socio-emotional skills and use of social networks of university students. 872 students from the Universidad Veracruzana participated in the study, from various educational programs. The research methodology was predominantly quantitative, including qualitative aspects to achieve a better understanding of the study topic. Results of a descriptive analysis indicate that students significantly relate the use of social networks to the way in which students relate; social networks are considered important for students' socio-emotional development but also identify some possible disadvantages. It can be concluded that there must be a balance between the use of social networks for personal and social development, taking advantage of their benefits for intrapersonal, interpersonal and transpersonal growth, avoiding negative comparison and excessive dependence.
