LOPEZ ROSALES, Fuensanta; JASSO MEDRANO, José Luis; DIAZ LOVING, Rolando y DOMINGUEZ MORALES, María Fernanda. Cybervictimization, Depression, Suicidal Ideation, and Addictive Behavior toward Social Media. Acta de investigación psicol [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.1, pp.101-113. Epub 11-Ene-2021.

An addictive behavior is considered to exist when there is excessive use, loss of control and tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms which cause negative repercussions in everyday life and become a concern where other psychopathological problems may manifest. The objective of this study was to develop an explanatory model of cybervictimization, depression, suicidal ideation and addictive behavior toward social media. Instruments that measured these variables were applied to a total sample of 406 university students. A significant correlation was found between addictive behavior toward social media, cybervictimization, depression, and suicidal ideation. The model explained that cybervictimization and depression can lead to two outcomes: an addictive behavior toward social media, or suicidal thoughts. These results contribute to a better understanding of current phenomenon such as cybervictimization and addictive behavior toward social media with respect to depression and suicidal ideation. A deeper investigation is recommended to create preventive and intervention programs for healthy Internet usage for young people.
