Abstract(s)
Existem poucos estudos centrados na relação entre adição às redes sociais e a necessidade de
cognição em jovens adultos, e os que existem são escassos para se poder chegar a conclusões
científicas, neste que é um tema cada vez mais atual e pertinente. O objetivo do trabalho consiste
em estudar a incidência da adição das redes sociais em jovens adultos portugueses e perceber a
sua relação com a necessidade de cognição. Para estudar a adição às redes sociais foi utilizado
a “Escala de Adição às Redes Sociais”, versão portuguesa de Lira (2016), e para estudar a
necessidade de cognição foi utilizado o teste “Need for Cognition” (Cacioppo et al., 1984).
Verificou-se uma associação negativa fraca, mas estatisticamente significativa entre as escalas
de “Adição às Redes Sociais” e a de “Necessidades de cognição”, ou seja, quanto maior foi a
adição ás redes sociais, menor foram as necessidades de cognição, tal como esperado.
ABSTRACT: There are few studies focused on the relationship between addiction to social networks and the need for cognition in young adults, and those that exist are scarce to be able to reach scientific conclusions, in what is an increasingly current and pertinent topic. The objective of this work is to study the incidence of the addition of social networks in young Portuguese adults and to understand its relationship with the need for cognition. To study addiction to social networks, the “Scale for Addition to Social Networks” was used, Portuguese version by Lira (2016), and to study the need for cognition, the “Need for Cognition” test was used (Cacioppo et al., 1984). There was a weak but statistically significant negative association between the “Addition to Social Networks” and “Cognitive Needs” scales, that is, the greater the addition to social networks , the less the cognition needs, such as expected.
