USO PROBLEMÁTICO DEL SMARTPHONE EN LA ADOLESCENCIA: SUPERVISIÓN FAMILIAR Y ESTRÉS TECNOLÓGICO.

The problematic use of the Smartphone in adolescence is one of the main educational and social problems of today. In order to deepen this analysis, the following objectives were formulated: 1) Describe behaviors that indicate problematic use of the Smartphone; 2) Analyze the relationship between the frequency of use of the Smartphone and the indicators of problematic use; 3) Analyze the relationship between family supervision and indicators of problematic use of the Smartphone; 4) Analyze the predictors of technological stress. The sample consisted of 1,101 participants. A non-experimental survey-type quantitative design was chosen. A descriptive analysis was carried out and contingency tables, Chi Square, Cramer's V and Linear Regression analysis were used. The results showed that more than 30% of those surveyed stay up late using their mobile phones, 1 in 10 feel stressed if they do not receive messages or calls, and another 30% consider it easier to relate via the Internet. It concludes by emphasizing that the high frequency of use of the Smartphone causes imbalances in rest, irritability and stress levels in young people, while family supervision reduces the risks of suffering them.
