Abstract

This research seeks to analyze the use of social networks in the emotional relationship of 3 heterosexual couples, students of the Psychology program of the University of Pamplona-Villa del Rosario. It is developed from a qualitative approach, using information gathering techniques, stories such as: semi-structured interview, non-participant observation and narrative. As a result, it is found that social networks are used for the purpose of exchanging information, as well as keeping in touch with your loved one, while physically absent. The participants, give social networks an ambivalent significance, affect in the way they are used: being strengthening of communication, if they are used properly and as generating conflicts in relationships, if they are misused.
