En los &uacute;ltimos meses, se ha vuelto viral en las redes sociales la difusi&oacute;n de art&iacute;culos que sostienen que &ldquo;publicar tus rutinas en Facebook, Instagram... refleja una enfermedad mental&rdquo;. Como especialista en el &aacute;rea, he llegado a preocuparme profundamente por este tema, debido a que la gente comparte este tipo de notas muchas veces sin analizar la veracidad de la informaci&oacute;n. Es por ello que, en el art&iacute;culo de este mes, analizaremos a profundidad el contenido de dicha investigaci&oacute;n para descubrir la verdad: &iquest;Estamos equivocados al compartir nuestras rutinas y logros deportivos en las redes? Veamos.El estudio de los Cinco Grandes (2015)Todo comenz&oacute; debido al estudio realizado por Marshall, Lefringhausen y Ferenczi (2015), investigadores que supusieron que cinco elementos de la personalidad podr&iacute;an ser expresados en la frecuencia y el tipo de informaci&oacute;n que las personas comparten en las redes sociales: extroversi&oacute;n, neuroticismo, apertura a la experiencia, amabilidad y responsabilidad. En esta investigaci&oacute;n reclutaron a 555 usuarios de Facebook, a quienes se les evalu&oacute; la personalidad, el nivel de narcisismo, el grado de autoestima y el tipo de contenidos que compart&iacute;an en dicha red social. Los investigadores encontraron cierta correlaci&oacute;n entre el tipo de personalidad del individuo, y el de publicaciones que hacen en Facebook. Entre otros hallazgos interesantes, hallaron una correlaci&oacute;n importante entre el nivel de narcisismo de una persona, y la tendencia a publicar informaci&oacute;n con respecto a sus logros en diferentes &aacute;reas como una forma de recibir atenci&oacute;n de parte de los dem&aacute;s. Sin embargo, un dato interesante de este estudio fue el&nbsp;hecho de que, cuando individuos con rasgos narcisistas compart&iacute;an contenidos referentes a sus dietas o ejercicios, su intenci&oacute;n natural se enfocaba m&aacute;s en expresarse a s&iacute; mismos que necesitan recibir atenci&oacute;n. Adem&aacute;s, los seres con rasgos narcisistas tienden a compartir informaci&oacute;n sobre su alimentaci&oacute;n y deporte, para reflejar la importancia que estas &aacute;reas desempe&ntilde;an en sus vidas. Este dato interesante es el que ha llevado a muchos a concluir que, entonces, todo aquel que comparte informaci&oacute;n en Facebook sobre sus rutinas de ejercicio, lo hace por narcisismo o alg&uacute;n otro trastorno particular. Ahora, analicemos algunos detalles de la investigaci&oacute;n que no han sido considerados en internet: Los analistas no se centraron exclusivamente en estudiar a deportistas, sino que examinaron a personas en general, por lo que entre esta poblaci&oacute;n posiblemente encontremos a todo tipo de gente (incluyendo quienes rara vez hacen ejercicio, pero incluso as&iacute;, lo comparten). Los especialistas hallaron correlaciones entre varios tipos de rasgos y el contenido de las publicaciones, pero ello no significa que la persona tenga alguna patolog&iacute;a. Los investigadores utilizaron la prueba de los Cinco Grandes, el cual&nbsp;es un test que mide personalidad, sin relacionar alguna enfermedad mental. Los investigadores solo estudiaron a sujetos que ya publican en Facebook, de manera que no explican por qu&eacute; otros que son narcisistas no lo hacen. No toda persona que comparta informaci&oacute;n sobre su dieta y ejercicio, necesariamente tiene rasgos narcisistas; la frecuencia de sus escritos en estas &aacute;reas y la orientaci&oacute;n de los contenidos ser&iacute;a un factor m&aacute;s importante para dar un veredicto al respecto. Finalmente, habr&iacute;a que suponer que la gente realmente es honesta en sus textos, de modo que piensa y hace todo lo que redacta para poder tomarlo como un indicador de su personalidad, lo cual no todas las veces es cierto.<img src="http://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/7566/239680/59c3bdd50a185/1506000252_loc.jpg" owidth=2288 oheight=1564" style="height:547px; width:800px" />REDES SOCIALES Y APOYO SOCIALComo psic&oacute;loga deportiva puedo decir que, independientemente de que el hecho de publicar en las redes sociales pueda o no reflejar ciertos rasgos de personalidad en el individuo, estos hechos en particular no son de gran significado para el trabajo cotidiano con deportistas. Esta afirmaci&oacute;n resulta b&aacute;sicamente de dos hechos:1) Muchos sujetos poseen rasgos como el narcisismo, m&aacute;s all&aacute; de si practican o no un deporte y de lo que publican en redes sociales.2) En muchos casos he observado a esta patolog&iacute;a convivir con el deporte, igual que sucede en las artes y profesiones, por lo que no es algo exclusivo del mundo deportivo.Desde mi perspectiva profesional, un hecho m&aacute;s que preocupante es la respuesta que los dem&aacute;s toman cuando un amigo sube un post con respecto a su entrenamiento o fotograf&iacute;as de los resultados obtenidos. Piensa por un momento en la &uacute;ltima vez que un compa&ntilde;ero public&oacute; una imagen mostrando su esbelto y marcado cuerpo. &iquest;C&oacute;mo te sentiste al respecto? &iquest;Comentaste su foto? &iquest;Qu&eacute; tipo de comentarios hiciste? Si tambi&eacute;n eres un deportista apasionado, probablemente reaccionar&aacute;s marcando un &lsquo;me gusta&rsquo; a esa informaci&oacute;n y tal vez escribas algo felicitando a tu compa&ntilde;ero o compartas tus propias im&aacute;genes en la secci&oacute;n de comentarios. Pero, &iquest;c&oacute;mo reaccionan aquellos que no son deportistas? Y, m&aacute;s a&uacute;n, &iquest;c&oacute;mo impacta su respuesta a la persona que ha realizado la publicaci&oacute;n? Un hecho que he observado y me ha llamado la atenci&oacute;n es el creciente n&uacute;mero de grupos de Facebook que gira con respecto a alguna actividad deportiva. En otras palabras, las personas que aman un deporte forman grupos y redes sociales exclusivas, donde pueden compartir sus fotos e informaci&oacute;n con otros sujetos con los que comulgan en esta pasi&oacute;n. De esta manera, pueden contactar con quienes tienen este inter&eacute;s com&uacute;n e incrementar el n&uacute;mero de respuestas positivas a sus publicaciones, favoreciendo con ello la sensaci&oacute;n de apoyo social percibido (la de estar en una transacci&oacute;n interpersonal de la que se recibe apoyo material, emocional, e incluso instrumental). Especialmente para quienes comienzan a practicar alguna actividad deportiva o han encontrado muchas dificultades en este proceso (por ejemplo, queriendo abandonar o mostrando problemas para perder peso) esta sensaci&oacute;n de recibir apoyo a trav&eacute;s de &ldquo;likes&rdquo;, felicitaciones y consejos, as&iacute; como a trav&eacute;s de fotograf&iacute;as &ldquo;antes-despu&eacute;s&rdquo;, o la conformaci&oacute;n de grupos de amigos para ir a entrenar, pueden llegar a convertirse en herramientas de apoyo social que se buscan y promueven en este tipo de equipos. Entendidas de esta manera, las redes sociales podr&iacute;an tener tambi&eacute;n un efecto positivo en la vida de la persona si son utilizadas como fuentes de contacto y apoyo. Para ello, es m&aacute;s importante la respuesta de quien lee, que el contenido del que publica. Sin embargo, no significa que todos los grupos de Facebook logren este cometido, ya que se requiere tambi&eacute;n que los integrantes posean la habilidad, la motivaci&oacute;n y los conocimientos para proveer el apoyo social efectivo. As&iacute;, para que los grupos de amistades de Facebook resulten fuentes de apoyo efectivo, se requerir&iacute;a que detr&aacute;s de ellos se encontraran administradores capacitados, ya sean &eacute;stos entrenadores, nutri&oacute;logos o psic&oacute;logos que establezcan reglamentos positivos de participaci&oacute;n y modulen las interacciones entre sus miembros/usuarios. Como puedes ver, analizar las redes sociales como Facebook, Twitter y otras, es un fen&oacute;meno complejo en el que es tan importante lo que se publica, como lo que se responde.
