VEGA VALERO, Cynthia Zaira, MARTINEZ TAPIA, Laura Yeraldin, NAVA QUIROZ, Carlos et al. Calidad de red como variable moduladora de depresión en adolescentes estudiantes de nivel medio. liber., jan./jun. 2010, vol.16, no.1, p.105-112. ISSN 1729-4827.

In a previous study (Nava & Vega, 2008) we wanted to prove if some emotional alterations (depression) could be attributed to the remoteness of the family network, the analyses showed that it was possible to find differences between young adults to imprison and university students. Nevertheless, the results of the previous study left a doubt, would it be possible to find depression even though there is no absence of origin of family? And what variable would explain such phenomenon, in case of finding differences? By the previous thing, we decided to make a study where the participants were adolescents without deficiency of family or apparent psychological alteration. We evaluated different variables, social support, stress, quality of network and depression. The results showed that it was possible to talk back the results of the first study, although emotional alterations or of network did not exist seriously. The conclusions are discussed to the light of the empirical and theoretical findings.
