Abstract
El objetivo general de esta investigación se ha dirigido al análisis del uso problemático del teléfono móvil entre la población española, desde los 16 a los 65 años de edad. Nuestra hipótesis se ha basado en la consideración de que dicho uso problemático respondería a los criterios de adicción, como lo son las sustancias y el juego patológico, y que por lo tanto, como otras adicciones, es capaz de afectar a capas amplias de la población, no solo a jóvenes y adolescentes. En la consecución de dicho objetivo se llevó a cabo inicialmente un estudio y revisión del histórico de investigaciones precedentes, tanto en el ámbito de la impulsividad como en la propia consideración del teléfono móvil como adicción comportamental. Posteriormente se realizó un trabajo de campo con una muestra de ámbito nacional, en 17 comunidades autónomas de España, con un total de 1.126 entrevistas y un cuestionario semiestructurado aplicado mediante un procedimiento on-line. Como resultado de este trabajo se presentan cinco artículos, tanto publicados como en actual revisión por las revistas correspondientes. En el primer artículo se ha pretendido analizar el peso e importancia, en el histórico de investigaciones precedentes, de la impulsividad como antesala de las adicciones en general, así como en el contexto de las nuevas adicciones sociales o comportamentales. Teniendo en cuenta que progresivamente existe un creciente número de publicaciones que analizan la extensión de dicho modelo al ámbito comportamental, se desprende que la impulsividad tiene un papel esencial en este proceso, encontrándose sin embargo también asociada con frecuencia a otras patologías. En este trabajo se concluye por lo tanto que el modelo de adicción a sustancias puede ser aplicable al campo de las adicciones comportamentales considerando la impulsividad como precedente...
The main objective of the present research is focused on the analysis of potentially problematic cellphone use amongst the Spanish population ranging in age from 16 to 65 years old. Our hypothesis is based on the fact that such problematic use is consistent with the standard addiction criteria of substances and pathological gambling, and therefore, as with other addictions, could affect a wider range of the population, not just children and adolescents. In pursuit of this objective, we first analyzed and reviewed previous research in the field of impulsive behavior as well that considering cellphones as a form of behavioral addiction. Subsequently, substantial fieldwork was performed with a sample of national scope which included the 17 autonomous communities of Spain, with 1.126 interviews conducted through a semi-structured online questionnaire. As result of this research, five papers have been presented, published and are also currently under review by scientific magazines. The first paper (‘Impulsiveness: The Prelude to Behavioral Addictions?’) is focused on the analysis of previous research in terms of the importance of impulsive behavior as the prelude to addictions in general as well as in the context of new social or behavioral addictions. Considering that the number of publications analyzing the extension of the traditional model of addiction to the behavioral spectrum is constantly increasing, we can affirm that impulsive behavior has an important role in this process, being also frequently associated with other pathologies. In conclusion, we posit the thesis that the same addiction model applied to drugs or substances, where impulsive behavior is the anteroom of behavioral addiction, could be applied to behavioral addictions themselves...
