Abstract
La presente investigación es un estudio cuantitativo de tipo aplicado, transversal y descriptivo correlacional. El propósito fue determinar la relación entre el uso de Facebook y la autopercepción de la imagen corporal en un grupo de estudiantes universitarias. Para el caso, se aplicó una escala que mide el uso de Facebook y un cuestionario de imagen corporal, a 106 estudiantes cuyas edades comprendían entre 17 y 24 años, del primer, quinto y décimo ciclo de estudios de las carreras de Psicología y Comunicaciones de una Universidad Privada de Lima Metropolitana. Los resultados muestran una relación positiva y significativa entre el uso de Facebook y la autopercepción negativa de la imagen corporal en mujeres.
