Abstract
Este artículo es un aporte al estudio del procesamiento moral del uso de Facebook desde el punto
de vista de la cognición social. La investigación tuvo por objetivo identificar algunos predictores
de las tendencias morales de uso, específicamente aquellas denominadas por la investigación
antecedente como hedonista y eudaimónica, de esta red social. El énfasis se concentró en la
medición de las posibles asociaciones entre un tipo de comportamiento auto-presentativo y otro
prosocial y la presencia de las tendencias hedonistas y eudaimónicas. Se recurrió a un
cuestionario auto-aplicado, administrado a 122 estudiantes universitarios (62.5% mujeres y edad
promedio 20.77, DT: 6.85). Los resultados mostraron una asociación negativa entre el
comportamiento prosocial y las tendencias hedonistas, así como otra asociación positiva entre
el comportamiento de uso prosocial y la tendencia moral eudaimónica. Se discuten estos
resultados identificando sus alcances y señalando la necesidad de mayor investigación futura.
