We studied the relationship between social skills and use of virtual social networks in students of a public university and a private one in the city of Lima. The sample were 1405 university students and it was an intentional non-probability type. The results indicate that there are negative and statistically significant correlations between total scale scores on social skills and addiction questionnaire to social networks, and in most of the factors of both instruments.
