CASTILLO GONZALES, Mayra Elizabeth; TENEZACA SANCHEZ, Jenny Roció y MAZON NARANJO, Juan Pablo. Dependencia al dispositivo móvil e impulsividad en estudiantes universitarios de Riobamba-Ecuador. Rev Eug Esp [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.3, pp.59-68. ISSN 2661-6742. https://doi.org/10.37135/ee.04.12.07.
Excessive use of smartphones creates problematic situations, highlighting dependency. This study was carried out to determine the relationship between the levels of dependence on the mobile device and the types of impulsivity in university students. This research included a quantitative approach, and a non-experimental correlational type. The study population consisted of 2533 students aged 18 to 26 from the Faculty of Health Sciences of the National University of Chimborazo, enrolled in the academic period August 2019 - March 2020. Data collection was done through the Mobile Dependence Test and Impulsivity Scale (BIS-11). The mean age was 21.3 years. 66.5% of the sample showed a moderate level of dependence on the mobile device. 85.03% had unplanned impulsivity, with a score of medium level of impulsivity in each subscale and globally. A positive, lumpy, and statistically significant correlation was established between both fundamental study variables.
