Abstract(s)
O objectivo desta dissertação é, através de uma monografia, reunir o conhecimento que
existe actualmente sobre adicção e integrá-lo com o potencial papel da adicção no
“consumo” de redes sociais, tendo em conta como os mecanismos base da adicção
podem estar presentes e influenciar o padrão de utilização de redes sociais. Para isso,
realiza-se uma revisão anatomofisiológica e neuroquímica das estruturas, vias e
neurotransmissores envolvidos nos mecanismos de adicção. Tendo em conta a
emergência e sucesso das redes sociais desde os últimos anos para cá, bem como a
crescente percepção da sua influência e dependência delas e dos dispositivos móveis –
smartphones, tablets, etc. – para a existência humana e social na actualidade, para os
propósitos desta dissertação torna-se também indispensável realizar uma revisão
bibliográfica sobre adicção e redes sociais. A revisão é baseada em livros e artigos
científicos, publicados com peer review, em língua inglesa, dentro dos últimos 10 anos.
Conclui-se que a utilização de redes sociais tem o potencial de se tornar num
comportamento adictivo, e deve estar-se devidamente alerta para esse facto.
The purpose of this dissertation is to, in the form of a monograph, unify current knowledge about addiction and integrate it with the potential part of addiction in the use of social media, taking into consideration how the basic mechanisms of addiction may be presente and influence the pattern of social media usage. To that effect, an anatomophysiological and neurochemical review of the structures, pathways and neurotransmitters involved in the mechanisms of addiction is udertaken. Considering the emergence and success of social media since recente years, as well as the growing perception of their influence and dependence on them and mobile devices – smartphones, tablets, etc. – for human and social existence in modern sciety, this dissertation also requires the conduction a bibliographical review on addiction and social media. The review is based on scientific books and articles, published in peerreviewed sources, over the last 10 years. There is evidence that social media use has the potencial to become a behavioral addiction, and further attention should be payed to it.
