Is true friendship possible on Facebook? A study from the psychological perspective of Laín Entralgo.
Resumen: The present work aims to analyse the meaning of the concept of
friendship through the study of the work of the doctor and
philosopher Pedro Laín Entralgo. The initial hypothesis of the
study is that the concept of friendship has been used
instrumentally by social media networks, and that these do not
offer the conditions necessary to fully experience true friendship.
To verify this, we focused on the study of the psychological
dimensions of friendship proposed by the author, identifying a
series of variables and conducting an analysis by means of a
survey of university students who are active users of the platform.
With these results the descriptive statistics were extracted and a
nonparametric analysis was performed of the variables to
determine if Facebook does in fact offer the conditions necessary
for to experience true friendship in its psychological dimensions.
As the results show, to experience true friendship on social
networks is difficult, given that the nature of the interactions
between users of the platform are not appropriate for this
experience. In calling this different type of relationship friendship
Facebook benefits from an attractive hook which leads users to
generate contacts as a form of currency which benefits the
business model of the social media platform. The concept of true
friendship is altered, deformed and displaced in favour of other
types of relationships.
