MIDAP researcher to participate in Puerto de Ideas Antofagasta with a talk on problematic use of internet and social networks.
A new version of Puerto de Ideas Antofagasta will be held between Thursday, April 24th and Sunday, April 27th. On this occasion, the psychologist, young researcher at MIDAP, and professor at Adolfo Ibáñez University will present the talk: "Does my cell phone trap me or make me happy? How to use social media in a healthy way." It happens to almost all of us: we check our phones to find out what time it is, and unwittingly, we find ourselves glued to them longer than we intended. Why is it so hard for us to control ourselves, and how do social media and what we see on the internet hook us? This talk aims to answer these questions through psychology, empowering you in your use of the internet and social networks. To do this, we'll take a brief journey through the science of emotions and what we do with them, the impact of interpersonal relationships on our health and well-being, and the characteristics of social media that have created new rules of the game. Throughout this journey, we'll learn the value of stopping and noticing how we feel, along with a technique that psychology uses to develop this skill. These tools will help you navigate the digital world with greater freedom. Registration is sold out. More information about Puerto de Ideas Antofagasta here.
