          Abstract

          RESUMEN: Introducción: La adicción al Internet se ha relacionado con la autoestima, y el sentido de la vida con ambas variables, porque se debe explorar su rol mediador. Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre la adicción al Internet y la autoestima en adolescentes mexicanos. Metodología: Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo y correlacional con una muestra de 238 estudiantes seleccionados por muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se utilizaron una cédula de datos personales, la escala de autoestima de Rossemberg, el test de adicción al Internet y el test de sentido de la vida. Se apegó a lo dispuesto en el Reglamento de la Ley General de Salud en Materia de Investigación para la Salud en Seres Humanos en México y a la declaración de Helsinki. Resultados: La adicción al Internet se relacionó negativa y significativamente con el sentido de la vida (rs=-.359, p= <.001) y con la autoestima (rs=-.426, p=<.001). El sentido de la vida mostró un efecto mediador entre la autoestima y la adicción al Internet (B= -.188, SE= .066, 95% IC [-.320, -.056]). El sexo tuvo un efecto moderador entre la autoestima y la adicción al Internet siendo significativo en ambos sexos. Conclusión: La autoestima y el sentido de la vida pueden predecir una disminución de la adicción al Internet. Así mismo, el rol de género puede presentar variaciones con respecto a los puntos de vista y forma de pensar y moderan la relación entre la autoestima y la adicción al Internet.

          ABSTRACT: Introduction: Internet addiction has been associated with self-esteem, and the meaning of life with both variables because its mediating role should be explored. Objective: To analyze the relationship between Internet addiction and self-esteem in Mexican adolescents. Methodology: A descriptive and correlational study was carried out with a sample of 238 students selected by non-probability convenience sampling. A personal data card, the Rossemberg self-esteem scale, the Internet addiction test and the meaning of life test were used. The study adhered to the provisions of the Regulations of the General Health Law on Research for Health in Human Beings in Mexico and the declaration of Helsinki. Results: Internet addiction was negatively and significantly related to the meaning of life (rs = -.359, p ≤.001) and with self-esteem (rs = -.426, p ≤ .001). The meaning of life showed a mediating effect between self-esteem and Internet addiction (B = -.188, SE = .066, 95% CI [-.320, -.056]). Sex had a moderating effect between self-esteem and Internet addiction, being significant in both sexes. Conclusion: Self-esteem and meaning of life can predict a decrease in Internet addiction. Likewise, the role of gender can present variations with respect to points of view and way of thinking and moderate the relationship between self-esteem and Internet addiction.

            The link between self-esteem and social relationships: A meta-analysis of longitudinal studies.

            Theorists have long assumed that people's self-esteem and social relationships influence each other. However, the empirical evidence has been inconsistent, creating substantial uncertainty about whether relationships are in fact an influential factor in self-esteem development and vice versa. This meta-analysis synthesizes the available longitudinal data on the prospective effect of social relationships on self-esteem (48 samples including 46,231 participants) and the prospective effect of self-esteem on social relationships (35 samples including 21,995 participants). All effects controlled for prior levels of the outcomes. Results showed that relationships and self-esteem reciprocally predict each other over time with similar effect sizes (β = .08 in both directions). Moderator analyses suggested that the effects held across sample characteristics such as mean age, gender, ethnicity, and time lag between assessments, except for the self-esteem effect on relationships, which was moderated by type of relationship partner (stronger for general relationships than for specific partners) and relationship reporter (stronger for self-reported than for informant-reported relationship characteristics). The findings support assumptions of classic and contemporary theories on the influence of social relationships on self-esteem and on the consequences of self-esteem for the relationship domain. In sum, the findings suggest that the link between people's social relationships and their level of self-esteem is truly reciprocal in all developmental stages across the life span, reflecting a positive feedback loop between the constructs.

              Longitudinal association between low self-esteem and depression in early adolescents: The role of rejection sensitivity and loneliness.

              Although the relation between low self-esteem and depression has been well established, little is known about the possible psychological mechanisms that account for the relation between them. Based on Beck's cognitive theory of depression, the main aim of this study was to explore the notion that rejection sensitivity and loneliness serve as mediators of the relation between low self-esteem and depression among early adolescents.
