    El uso de los móviles está, hoy en día, muy extendido. Las funcionalidades son muy diversas, puede ser una herramienta muy útil para la interacción y para actividades de ocio y/o sociales. Sin embargo, puede utilizarse en exceso. Por ello, es importante explorar el papel de los factores predisponentes, como la impulsividad. Con este estudio, pretendemos evaluar la relación entre la impulsividad y la dependencia del teléfono móvil, explorando en particular entre sexos y grupos de edad. Para ello, se recogieron datos de 847 participantes, con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 25 años, en su mayoría mujeres (n = 517, 61,0%), con un cuestionario sociodemográfico, el Test de Dependencia del Móvil (TDM) y la versión corta de las Escalas Breves de Conducta Impulsiva (UPPS). Los resultados permiten observar una relación estadísticamente significativa entre impulsividad y dependencia del móvil, diferencias de género y edad en la dependencia e impulsividad, así como un efecto diferente de la impulsividad como predictor de la dependencia del móvil en función de estas variables. Los datos tienen importantes implicaciones en términos de investigación e intervención.

    The use of mobile phones is, nowadays, widespread. With very diverse functionalities, it can be a very useful tool for interaction and for leisure or social activities. However, it can be used excessively. Therefore, it is important to explore the role of predisposing factors such as impulsivity. With this study, we intend to evaluate the relationship between impulsivity and cell phone dependence, exploring in particular between sexes and age groups. For this purpose, data were collected from 847 participants, aged between 12 and 25 years, most of them women (n = 517, 61.0%), with a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Mobile Dependence Test (TDM), and the short version of the Brief Impulsive Behavior Scales (UPPS). The results allow us to perceive a statistically significant relationship between impulsivity and mobile phone dependence, gender and age differences in dependence and impulsivity, as well as a different effect of impulsivity as a predictor of mobile dependence as a function of these variables. The data have important implications in terms of research and intervention.
