The present study analyzed self-esteem levels, and their relationship with sexism, Internet use and the influence of likes, in 309 subjects, by asking them about Internet use, social networks, self-esteem and sexism. The results showed low levels of self-esteem, although boys scored higher on the overall scale and for hostile sexism. Similarly, those with higher percentages of low self-esteem showed higher scores for benevolent sexism. It can be concluded that the use of social networks and the Internet, in relation to sexist attitudes, influences adolescents’ self-esteem and social construction.}, publisher = {Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)}, keywords = {adolescents}, keywords = {identity}, keywords = {self-esteem}, keywords = {sexism}, keywords = {social networks}, title = {The Influence of Likes and Sexist Attitudes on Adolescent Self-Esteem in Social Networks}, doi = {10.3390/ijerph21121647}, author = {Valdés, Yéxica Flores and García Rojas, Antonio Daniel and Gómez, Ángel Hernando and Río Olvera, Francisco Javier del}, }
