Abstract
espanolLas autolesiones online (“digital self-harm”) consisten en el uso de las tecnologias de la informacion y la comunicacion, como Internet y el telefono movil, para colgar, enviar o compartir contenidos que incluyen autolesiones fisicas o que resultan daninos o humillantes para uno mismo. El primer objetivo de este estudio consistio en examinar la prevalencia de diferentes formas de autolesiones online entre adolescentes. El segundo objetivo fue el de analizar las motivaciones para implicarse en autolesiones online empleando, para ello, una metodologia cualitativa de analisis de contenido. La muestra de este estudio estuvo compuesta por 794 participantes (50.6% mujeres) entre 12 y 18 anos (M = 14.29 y DT = 1.64). El 7.9% de los adolescentes reconocio haberse provocado algun dano fisico y contarlo en Internet y el 3.8% haber publicado las fotos de una autolesion en Internet. Las motivaciones mas frecuentes para implicarse en autolesiones online fueron: 1) hacerlo como una expresion de malestar; 2) buscar desahogo o alivio; 3) buscar la atencion y comprension de otros; 4) ver la reaccion de otros; 5) porque consideraban que era gracioso; y 6) porque otros lo hacen o es “una moda”. Los resultados sugieren que nos encontramos ante un problema preocupante que requiere ser mejor investigado.
