Abstract
Outcome
"Findings show that the acquisition by young people of digital competence, based on the awareness and the capacity for critical analysis of media texts (Cortoni, Lo Presti, 2018), can be an antidote to addiction to social and media in general. in general. In this perspective, the "a-socials with addiction" represent the profile that is relatively more at risk due to the failure to develop a critical capacity to use media and to consciously read the contents of social media, in a life context characterized by a boring school climate and a family environment with a low socio-professional level and little inclination to listen and accompany their children" (Cortoni & Lo Presti, 2020, pp.93-94, translated)
