Resumo(s)
Este estudo avalia as eventuais associações entre a crescente omnipresença do mundo digital na comunicação humana e os seus efeitos no comportamento das pessoas, especificamente no que envolve para as relações de dependência das redes sociais, de envolvimento crescente com os smartphones e de vivências de alguma alienação ou perda de significado, como sejam a exaustão emocional nos media (social media burnout) e o Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). A partir da revisão da literatura publicada sobre cada uma das variáveis, foram selecionados instrumentos de avaliação das mesmas, tendo sido posteriormente construído um inquérito por questionário para recolher dados numa amostra de conveniência (n=183). Para além dos dados sugerirem uma exposição maior aos riscos do uso excessivo destas tecnologias nos utilizadores mais jovens, uma análise mais elaborada sugere uma associação positiva e significativa entre as medidas de ansiedade social e alienação (FoMO, Social media burnout) com as dependências dos smartphones e das redes sociais e os tempos crescentes de uso destas tecnologias digitais. No final, sugerem-se algumas recomendações para atenuar estes efeitos da exposição excessiva ao mundo digital.
This study examines the potential associations between the growing omnipresence of the digital world in human communication and its effects on individual behavior, particularly regarding patterns of social media dependency, increased engagement with smartphones, and experiences of alienation or loss of meaning—manifested, for instance, in social media burnout and the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). Drawing from a review of the existing literature on each of these variables, appropriate assessment instruments were selected, and a questionnaire survey was subsequently developed to collect data from a convenience sample (n=183). Beyond indicating greater exposure to the risks associated with excessive use of these technologies among younger users, a more detailed analysis revealed a significant positive association between measures of social anxiety and alienation (FoMO and social media burnout) and levels of smartphone and social media dependency, as well as increasing time spent using digital technologies. Finally, the study offers a set of recommendations aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of excessive exposure to the digital environment.
