Sumario:The relationships between social network addiction (SNA) and self-concept were analyzed considering differences by sex and socioeconomic level. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational-causal design was used. A total of 568 preadolescents aged 12 to 14 years with separated parents from an educational institution in Ecuador participated. The Social Network Addiction Questionnaire and the Self-Concept Questionnaire Form 5 were applied. Significant correlations were obtained between ARS and self-concept dimensions, especially in females (rho between -.188 and -.319). The Mann-Whitney U analysis determined divergences between dimensions by sex (p < .05; δ between .235 and .334), and in the Kruskal Wallis test between ARS factors and socioeconomic level (p < .05; δ between .029 and .116). We conclude that women are more vulnerable to the impact of social networks (SN) on identity during preadolescence.
