La exposici車n p迆blica en el caso de los adolescentes puede generar problemas sobre aspectos sociales, emotivos y afectivos. Esta investigaci車n analiza c車mo se usa Facebook por parte de los j車venes y qu谷 experiencia obtienen de ello. Aunque dicen conocer los riesgos, admiten que aceptan a desconocidos como amigos y ofrecen datos reales sobre su vida. Ante esta situaci車n, se hace m芍s evidente la necesidad de la alfabetizaci車n medi芍tica y digital de estos j車venes que, aunque no deber赤an estar en Facebook hasta los 13 a os, cuentan con un perfil de manera mayoritaria. Para ello se ha utilizado una metodolog赤a basada en el an芍lisis de contenido y las entrevistas en profundidad. Se trata de un estudio comparativo entre Colombia y Espa a. En Colombia se han realizado 100 an芍lisis de perfiles y 20 entrevistas en profundidad. La muestra ha sido de adolescentes de 12 a 15 a os, de la Instituci車n Educativa Distrital T谷cnico Internacional de Bogot芍. En Espa a se han analizado 100 perfiles y se han realizado 20 entrevistas a chicos de 12 a 15 a os, de Institutos (IES) de Andaluc赤a. Social networks have become areas of social interaction among young people where they create a profile to relate with others. The way this population uses social networks has an impact on their socialization as well as the emotional and affective aspects of their development. The purpose of this investigation was to analyze how Facebook is used by young people to communicate among themselves and the experiences they gain from it. On the one hand, while teenagers claim to know the risks, they admit to accepting strangers as friends and to sharing large amounts of true data about their private lives. For this reason, it is necessary to understand the media and digital phenomenon that the youth are living through. Although they are legally prohibited from using Facebook until they are 13, the number of underage users of this social network is growing, without any restraint from parents or schools. This investigation compares the use of Facebook by youth in Colombia and Spain by using the content analysis and interview techniques. In Colombia 100 Facebook profiles were analyzed and 20 interviews carried out with students between 12- and 15-years-old attending the Instituci車n Educativa Distrital T谷cnico Internacional school in Bogot芍. In Spain, 100 Facebook profiles were analyzed and 20 interviews held with students of the same age group attending variou %K Redes sociales %K J車venes %K Adolescentes %K Identidad digital %K Alfabetizaci車n medi芍tica %K Facebook %K Privacidad %K Riesgos %K Social network %K Young people %K Teenagers %K Digital identity %K Media literacy %K Facebook %K Privacy %K Risks %U http://dx.doi.org/10.3916/C40-2013-03-03
