Online prosocial behavior during adolescence in Belgium, Japan, Peru, and Spain
The role of the digital context in the development and expression of prosocial behaviors during adolescence has not yet been addressed using validated instruments in different languages. This study examines the factorial validity of the Online Prosocial Behavior Scale (OPBS) in adolescents from four different countries (Belgium N = 1714, Japan N = 1207, Peru N = 1478, Spain N = 1299) and assesses the factorial and gender invariance and difference…
Perceptions of Social Media
This paper studies how the experience and perceptions of social media are related to the emission and reception of online prosocial behavior (OPB), using a cross-sectional survey study with 1,299 adolescents. Our results indicated that females and non-binary individuals showed a higher frequency of OPB than males. The use of instant messaging and emoticons, the feeling of having an audience, and positive experiences all favor the emission of OPB.…

A study of the influence of altruism, social responsibility, reciprocity, and the subjective norm on online prosocial behavior in adolescence
While the study of offline prosocial behavior has a long tradition, much less information is available about how these behaviors manifest and change in the digital environment, and little is known about their background. This paper evaluates differences by age and gender in a variety of attitudes and beliefs during adolescence and studies their influence on the online prosocial behavior emitted and received. A cross-sectional study was performed …
Problematic use of social media in adolescents or excessive social gratification? The mediating role of nomophobia
The term problematic social media use (PSMU) refers to the interference produced by social networks in everyday life, where online participation is perceived as rewarding and continues despite negative consequences. The constant gratification (peer connection, instant notifications, scrolling, and variable rewards) has negative consequences for the well-being of adolescents, from the fear of not being connected to developing negative moods. Recen…

YouTuber videos and the construction of adolescent identity
The main objective of this research is to analyze the content of YouTuber's videos that have the greatest impact on adolescents and their relationship with the construction of identity. The YouTube platform is one of the most commonly used by Spanish teenagers and around 70% of young people between 14 and 17 years of age prefer this network. YouTubers are perceived by young people as their equals, approachable people who share similar traits to t…
