  • Claudia Berra Barona Universidad Autónoma de Baja California

Abstract

Nowadays, social networks play a significant role in the way people communicate and relate in today's society, changing and modernizing the interaction patterns at a personal and professional level; this implies the use of social and emotional skills: interpersonal, intrapersonal and cognitive, so the objective of this research is to "measure the impact of social networks (independent variable) on the development of social and emotional skills (dependent variable) under the following hypothesis "the use of social networks has a favorable impact on the development of social and emotional skills in university students." To test the hypothesis, a structural equation model is used using the SPSS and AMOS software, the results of the standardized correlation and regression coefficients confirm a degree of correlation high between the variables that make up the dimension of Social and emotional Skills (interpersonal, intrapersonal and cognitive) and Social Networks with correlation coefficients above (.60). The findings of this research may have significant implications for education, vocational training and promoting a more conscious and balanced use of social media in society. It could also help to understand how to adapt and improve interpersonal, intrapersonal and cognitive skills in an increasingly digitalised world.
