La presente investigación tiene por objetivo determinar si existe relación significativa entre dependencia al celular y habilidades sociales en estudiantes de una universidad privada de Lima Este. Como instrumentos se utilizaron, el Test de dependencia al móvil (TDM) de Chóliz y Villanueva (2010) y la Escala de Habilidades Sociales (EHS) de Gismero (2005), adaptada en el Perú por Ruiz Cesar en el 2006. La muestra estuvo conformada por 351 estudiantes. Los resultados revelan que existe correlación negativa y altamente significativa entre dependencia al celular y habilidades sociales (r = -,645**, p< 0.01), así también se encontró relación negativa y altamente significativa en las dimensiones de dependencia al celular “abstinencia” (r = -,624**, p< 0.01), “abuso y dificultad de controlar el impulso” (r = -,526**, p< 0.01), “problemas ocasionados por el uso excesivo ” ...

Objective: To determine the relationship between cell phone dependency and social skills of thestudents of a private university in East Lima. Methodology: The non-experimental cross-sectionaland correlational type design was used. Likewise, an intentional non-probabilistic sampling was used,including students of both sexes with ages between 17 and 28 years. Results: 52.1% of universitystudents are at risk of presenting dependence to the cell phone, while 22.8% already have it, comparedto 25.1% who do not. Likewise, 56.1% of the students show a low level of social skills, 29.9% are inthe process of developing them and only 14% have developed social skills. In addition, a negative andsignificant relationship was found between the study variables (Rho= -, 645, p <0.01), in the sameway a negative and significant relationship was found in the cell dependency dimensions with the totalsocial...
